Grateful sober Wednesday morning 
There’s nothing better than waking up rested, clearheaded, with cats purring on and beside me 🩷 Well, a partner joining this little paradise would be nice but I think I’m not ready for another human in my peaceful life. I’m grateful I think openly about someone new and I’m double grateful I’m honest with myself and see that I need more time. Still too much going on that I have - and some issues even want - to focus on. First things first.
I’m grateful that I’m a responsible person and take good care. I’m grateful I learned to be patient. I’m grateful Missi purrs away on me and her tamping paws are like acupuncture needles. Sweet fluffball needs her Mami 
And the old boy sleeps beside me. I’m grateful I can enjoy together time with the cats after a refreshing shower and don’t have to hurry to work. Grateful for office @ home and that I do what I can. It is enough.
I’m grateful for deadlines and structure and that I’m capable to set my own. I’m grateful I stick to my path and keep going. It took me really far. I’m grateful I can always go back to basics, babysteps and mini-tasks, they had the major input on my forthcoming. Just keep going. I’m grateful I realized long ago that resting, recovering, regenerating is key to find balance and getting to know my own power and ressources. I’m deeply grateful that I don’t borrow from tomorrow anymore, not a single cup of energy. I’m grateful that my life fills with different kinds of energy when I do the best I can mindfully.
I’m grateful the “new” office is working and I catch up on officework day by day.
I’m grateful a big catfood delivery arrived. Everything became ridiculous expensive. I’m grateful I can afford our life and I’m deeply grateful the most expensive parts beside unavoidable insurances & cars & operating costs are the cats. It makes me happy when the catfood arrives and I serve 3 different food, they chomp & munch and afterwards they sleep like snorring angels 
I’m grateful I’m a nice and loving person who only gets bitchy when someone severely hurts or pisses me. I’m grateful that I work on my ex being none of these persons. ODAAT
PS: Congratulations on all achievements and milestones dear gratipeople! 
I have a lot to catch up.

Im grateful my internal clock got me up at 5:34. 4 minutes off. Not bad.
Grateful for my espresso before my gorgeous cup of coffee.
Grateful for a warm cat on my lap.
Grateful for my mantra play list.
I’m grateful we are done with the California DMV
Grateful I am licensed and registered to vote.
I’m grateful it was fairly painless. I don’t know why it has to be so anxiety ridden going to the DMV. I’m grateful they were efficient and nice and polite.
I’m grateful for the beautiful marine layer greeting me early this morning.
I’m grateful I got the exercise/office room all finished. I’m grateful the salon wall came out lovely.
I’m grateful to get back to meetings starting today.
I’m grateful Alice slept with me much of the night. It wasn’t great sleep for me. But she was happy. I’m grateful it was my iPad that landed on the floor in the middle of the night and not Alice.
I’m grateful for the shared albums on my iPad of my grandchildren and I got caught up with that. I’m grateful I miss them.
I’m grateful for The Moola Mantra
existence, consciousness, and bliss.
Detachment is the hallmark of a life being well lived. As long as we rely on anyone else for our good feelings, we can’t count on ever being wholly peaceful. And that’s no way to live.

Good morning.
I am grateful for the cool crisp air, and I am grateful to have completed my last camping trip of 2024.
I am grateful this summer, although we are still officially in it, seems done. I am grateful for cooler temps and shorter days.
I am grateful that I cant avoid things forever… even if I still try. Avoid, and ignore a couple of my favorite ways to prolong my suffering.
When I first came into recovery I remember having some fear around who I might become; who I would be without drugs and alcohol. I had such a twisted perception of this disease. I was giving the substances all the credit for my personality when in fact I am actually the same person…go figure. More emotionally mature, less reactive and maybe a bit tamer, maybe not. I am grateful I didnt disappear.
I am grateful that with a bit of exposure to things I avoid, answers are given. Pretty obvious ones too. 
I am grateful for clear sight.
I am grateful for the love I have in this life, all around me. I walk my days in a padded room of love with a safety net of hugs to catch me if I fall. I am grateful that even though in a romantic relationship love “isnt enough”, in life it seems to solve most of my woes.
I am grateful for phone call Drs appointments and self check lab results so you can see what the phone call is about before it happens.

We have so many Red Kites where I live. Every time I see them they fill me with awe. One sits in my next door neighbours tree and screams. I love it.

Hey. Where about are you? They are prolific! I basically see them as soon as we hit Beaconsfield out of London, though we have a couple that fly above my balcony from time to time. They are savage though, be careful… They pick off lambs in spring. I won’t tell you more, but it’s harrowing.
One of my top five birds.

For calling off weightlifting this morning to stay in bed instead.
That my better half is off work this week, it’s been nice to have that extra time to relax and connect.
For freezer batch cooking - maximum taste, minimum effort.

My decision today to recommit to letting go of that which no longer serves me or nourishes me. I am responsible for me.
