I’m grateful my salad greens have been great and the first cucumber of the season is finally here.
I’m grateful I get to rise early each morning to beat the heat and get outside for some therapy working in the garden. I’m grateful for the birdsong and the breeze and a little shade. And the exercise is good for me.
I’m grateful for the peace and quiet in this little three acre compound.

I’ve learned from this community that summer depression is quite common. Since I speak about it, I find more people IRL who also suffer from it. We are not alone
Evening gratitude.
It’s growling thunder, lightning and some rain here now. I’m grateful it cools down before I go to bed so I can open the windows. The house got hot today, stressing me.
I’m grateful I mowed for 1 hour in the evening even when I didn’t feel like it. Back to babysteps and little tasks. I’m grateful the path to the field is now short cutted. No high grass = no ticks 
I’m grateful for my reliable tractor and mower. I’m grateful I can ignore the bulk of mowing still to be done. One by one will do it. No pressure. ODAAT
Thursday gratefulness …I am so very grateful for:
- A nice walk and swim before the heat became intense
- My sister cancelled our visit this weekend as she needs some down time (been travelling like crazy for past few months) – I’m not complaining as i really didn’t want to go but didn’t have the heart to tell her
- My herbs are doing well. Have the organic soil to plant them. hoping to do this tomorrow
- My car got fixed earlier than expected. I was going to wait for a ride but then decided to take public transport (haven’t done since high school). It was a chill experience. Grateful that I was ok to walk the last 1 mile where the bus did not go and i did not want to wait for the right bus. I survived the heat.
- For the huge discount my mechanic gave. He gives us the family discount and then another discount if paid in cash. Grateful for my vacation funds as i was able to pay for the service in cash.
- Today is the last day of my excessive salt intake before i do my testing tomorrow and Saturday. The last day really does make me ill and today has been a battle in trying to keep everything down. I really do not want to repeat this again.
- For my HP! For my family. for this community. for my recovery.
*That my body is healing and i am able to have more good days of movement. Still a long ways to go and have to remember to not push too hard but it is a wonderful feeling. Grateful that i am able to push through the pain and not let it keep me down. - My hibiscus plant is in full bloom and looks beautiful. It really loved all the rain we recently got.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day / evening. Sending you all so much love 
Awesome gratitude list.

I am grateful that all of my withdrawal symptoms are finally gone. One lapse with alcohol and it took me four full days of battling the repercussions. I’m pinning this as a reminder of what this does to my body and mind.

I am grateful that I’m not afraid.
I am grateful I have a supportive job, with the most amazing colleagues.
I am grateful that the unknown is a growing opportunity.
I am grateful that the sun is out.
