I’m grateful for waking up rested without an alarm.
I’m grateful I quit smoking so I no longer cough in the morning.
I’m grateful I quit drinking so I no longer hate myself in the morning.
I’m grateful I am giving myself time to figure out what I like. I’m debating plans this weekend which would be a good social outlet but it is possible that I just don’t like large gatherings. Am I socially anxious or isolating? Am I a 45 year old woman who doesn’t know what she likes? Probably.
I’m grateful to continue learning.
Today I am especially grateful for:
- reaping the benefits of mindfulness training, staying present, living through the moments of life
- a good morning run, early enough to avoid the swarms of dog walkers
- lots of research, learning and new perspectives on navigation issues and pathfinding algorithms
- good weather
- a nice walk
- relaxing yin yoga
- putting the finishing touches on vacation prep
- a good chat with a friend
- a nap on the balcony
- coffee
- reading good books
- looking forward to Recovery Dharma
- peace and quiet
- this bountiful life
- this amazing day
Sleep tight sober friends
Wednesday evening gratitude.
OMG it is fucking hot outside and the house gets hot too. I need air condition. I’m grateful this are my problems A cool shower and taking it easy will do it.
I’m grateful I was up at 4.30 today and not completely confused. I got things done, catching up on chores, resting when the cats needed their human , having tea, reading newspaper. I’m grateful my cats are spoiled rotten.
Machine maintenance continued today. I’m grateful we did what we could and the garage fetched the riding mower in the afternoon, it needs a bit of professional repair. Shouldn’t be a big deal. I’m grateful for help and for service. Double grateful that they brought back the sickle bar mower because the license plate of my ex’s trailer which I use is missing. No clue if stolen or lost. I informed him but until he brings the replacement plate I can’t use the trailer.
I’m grateful for reading journals on the balcony in the afternoon.
My brain is mush, I sweat, my veins hurt. I think I take a shower and go to bed. With sleeping meds. Grateful for sleeping meds. ODAAT
I hope you have a restful sleep and awake feeling refreshed
I am grateful for my job. It gets me out of the house and motivated to do something every day

I’m grateful for a restful sleep last night and feeling so refreshed today. I’m grateful for a lower level of anxiety today. I’m grateful for having a good conversation with my friend while on our hike today. I’m grateful for my friend S who is truly a good friend to me. I’m grateful for my work and for new work ideas that are coming to me. I’m grateful for iced tea and homemade salsa.
Day was pretty uneventful and I am grateful for that.
I found a different way to tackle the question of AI-behaviour than the approach I previously started with. I don‘t have to implement pathfinding right from the start. I am going to start with precoded paths and take it from there. That‘s where I am going to pick up tomorrow. I am grateful for this discovery as it lets me work in more manageable chunks and implement features as the necessity arises without blowing the thing up from the start. This approach always suited me well. I‘m not much for feature creep.
I spent the afternoon preparing for my trip later this summer. Turns out there is a different train route I can take instead of the usual one which will be partly closed to maintenance work. I am grateful for that, especially as it is going to be an interesting train and an interesting route. Also one of the rooms my mum rents out to students will be free and I can stay there. I am grateful for this, as I won‘t have to stay in the city center in the summer heat.
I went to the pool later in the day, met my daughter and my ex there. I am grateful we can be a family this way. My daughter explored some new swimming skills. She is preparing for a swimming test and I am grateful I could be there when she learned new things and was proudly presenting her new skills to me.
Now it‘s time for dinner, some downtime, maybe a dharma meeting. Grateful for the peace in my life after so much upheaval.
Sleep tight sober friends
I love this gratitude!🩷:yellow_heart:

I am grateful to be sober and repulsed by the thought of drinking.
I am grateful to be getting back to working a full schedule and grateful that I can look for a new job if night shift isnt the right fit anymore.
I am grateful for mental health providers and plan to have an appt with one in the next couple weeks to address ongoing anxiety/depression.
I am grateful for this app and especially this thread.
I am grateful for my family, my furbabies and to be here with everyone.
I’m grateful to put a sober head on my pillow tonight. I’m grateful I forgot how tiring true, no substance sobriety is in the first few days. I’m grateful to give myself grace as I confront yet another replacement addiction. No more substances. Behaviors I will confront as they come but true sobriety only from here on out for me. Goodnight all.
Was a little tough this week, needed more time today to find something I am grateful for than usual so I decided to post again. Reading a few post here helps thou to find some relation away from the own point of view. Grateful for another completed week living in sober reality. Grateful for my relationship and grateful for some of the people or friends around me, that show me by example how I don’t want to live no more or at all. Have a nice day/night, you all

I am low on gratitude today (tired as hell) but will try
Grateful:
that it gets cooler Saturday, I hate the heat.
Hygge nurturing
My various fans (electric, not people…)
Attending a really good Mother Wound workshop… Always a very valuable reminder of my validity. I remembered today that I had a father wound running in concurrence, it was a bit of a surprise to remember I had a father. I’m not joking either or being flip, I had forgotten him or submerged his abuse in my subconsciousness whilst fixating on my mother.
Reminder to make sure I focus on these re-mothering needs for myself : nurturing, protection, security and guidance.
The faith that I will sleep tonight.
Lol…funny girl…I am a fan of yours
Hope you can rest and regain some energy. Happy Friday
