Iām grateful for moving day!
Iām grateful we have 5 days to complete this.
Iām grateful that as I take things off the walls it feels less like home. Iām grateful that I make nice homes.
Iām grateful for friends who offer to help move and who loan us useful stuff. Iām grateful that at 45 (me) and 50 (hubs) we can physically do this ourselves.
Iām grateful for 4-8 sturdy walls. Iām grateful for water and electricity that is safe and reliable.
Iām grateful putting things away in new spots always reminds me that I have enough. Iām grateful Iāll still downsize.
Iān grateful I am the only weirdo in my workplace who actually deeply loves moving. Iām grateful I saw a little glimmer of admiration when those co-workers expressed their amazement. Iām grateful I can enjoy things that others find difficult.
Goodbye 113, hello 111. Bring on the new adventures on the other side of the wall.
Some things I am especially grateful for today.
In the wee hours of the morning I was terrorised by some very unpleasant and intense dreams featuring my ex, his new girlfriend and my bike getting stolen. I usually donāt remember dreaming. But today even after waking up I felt like the emotions from that dream haunted me into the day. Thankfully at some point this lifted and I could meet my ex without the images and arguments from the dream infesting our interactions.
I got to do my weekly review, did not spend much time with that, didnāt feel much like it. After not feeling too well the last week I somewhat gained some energy, got to my drawing table and basically designed all the missing parts of the game I was supposed to have been working on in a very short time. I love it when my brain decides to wake up, connect the dots and makes me feel like a pro. I missed that a lot and it gave me a lot of confidence.
My father in lawās āGeburtstagskaffeeā went well. The house was decently cool inside, I did not care for any of the cakes and tortes, and we chatted amiably. On the way back I enjoyed the cooling wind while riding home on my not stolen bike.
I did some yoga, finally after almost a weekās break, and felt like being my body again instead of carrying it around. I love this feeling of reconnection.
Cravings and hunger have been rather bothersome these last few days which led me to stuff myself at almost every meal. I know this will pass. I am very grateful I donāt let this spiral myself into some crazy worrying anymore.
Now some down time and some sleep soon.
Sleep tight sober friends
Sunday gratitude. So much to catch up later.
Thank you @desert_rose for your lovely words
Thank you @Lisa07 for sharing your snapping turtle stories. Makes me laugh
Congratulation on all milestones, I lost track
Missi is a purring fluffball on me. 1,5 days away and she needs extra Mami time. Iām grateful my cats love and miss me. I love them too. I enjoyed a night without them staying at my sisterās. Annual chosen family reunion yesterday. It was lovely and so much fun. My brother cooked wonderful, we had fun with my 6 nieces in the pool, the old dog girl became deaf and rather dement, I slept like an angel, I love the noises of nature and the wind there.
Iām very grateful for my reliable car and that Iām always well equipt, especially for a long drive: tank full, water galore in the car, mobile phone fully loaded. I spent hours in traffic congestion on the highway due to a broken down car in a construction site section and later due to a motorcycle crash with a total highway block. In this brutal heat my solid, reliable car was golden with itās aircondition and comfort. Iām grateful I am safe home again. Iām grateful for a shower and a nap. Iām grateful for tomato salad.
Iām grateful a week full of work lies before me. Iām grateful I willhave time for enough rest and sleep. No appointments beside vet and therapy. I pray the work on the stonewall will go as quick as planned. I canāt imagine that in a week probably this big obstacle could be gone. I know how I want to celebrate: Pizza, Coca-Cola (a rare treat!) and binge watching a new series! Please dear universe, make it happen The workers will start tomorrow at about 9.
Iām grateful for my blessed life, for safety, freedom, love, health, laughter, modern amenities, connection, friendship, yearning for a good life and becoming a better person, for stability, faith and letting go. ODAAT
Grateful for dark times. I know thereās a porpuse, a meaning behind that now I canāt see
@Dazercat I am grateful for you too! your wonderful sense of humor and your constant support. Grateful for @JazzyS too. my angel here

Today is a day where I actually slept pretty well. Perhaps itās due from the major intense anxiety and depression that my body was going through yesterday, or hey - a week without enough sleep may finally get to you.
I cannot control the world. I can control my reactions, to each and every thing and each and every person. Grateful.
Grateful for my mind telling me āJust go after it. At this point, why not? Canāt be more than what youāre facing.ā Freedom with my own business matters. My body still needs sporadic rest.
Dogs. These dogs - Caiko and Luna - caring and soul seers. I know I am overreacting when they are basically big olā dogs in my lap, or head nudging my legs. My father believes I should get rid of them to find housing. Nope. They are beautiful creatures. Wild? Yes.
Happy day to you, my people!
Happy birthday CJ.
