For my recovery
For my increased endurance
For love
For family
For soberonies
For more hours in a weekend without having to sleep off hangovers
For the sun and the moon and the stars
For the joy numbers give me
For serendipity
For the program and fellowship of aa
For the 12 steps and my spiritual awakening
For the despair that finally instigated change
For hope
For an improved mindset
Iām so soooo grateful for Prashanti Paz and her ten day Mantra Challenge. She was so gentle and kind, on Insight Timer, with her guidance on learning how to chant Mantras. Her beautiful voice and calmness is something I desperately wanted. Iām grateful she has music I can download and it gives me so much Peace Hope

Every day is a REAL adventure for you. I love you accepting all your challenges you have to face.
My challenges yesterday was Hubby put sprinkler too close to bird feeders and seed got all wet. Our birds donāt like wet seed. Also yesterday I wasnāt paying attention and backed up into the bird bath (stone) and knocked it over. I had to pick it up real fast before hubby saw it. F**ker was heavy.
Life here is an adventure!
Part of living here is having the expectation that eventually everything will break, fall down or fail in some way or another. I hold material objects lightly.
Did you manage to replace the water in the birdbath before he noticed? Also it took me 2 reads to realize you probably backed your car into it instead of walking backwards into it. Lol
And those birds are picky! Sassy about their free bird feed!
Did not refill birdbath. Automatic water system. Had my fib already if were asked. āI cleaned itā. Yes I backed into with the car. Backing up has never been a super skill even sober.
Oh this has me cracking up. Sounds like a 5 star bird hotel in your yard! Go eat their food when itās dry anyway, have their bath then settle in for a nice birdy nap.
Okay tomorrow Iām gonna have to take a picture of my ābird bathā. Think rusted out barrel that rainwater flows into. I guess I do have an automatic water system via rain?
Im grateful for my SMART meeting today.
Iām grateful that my friends and family donāt invite me to gatherings now that Iām sober. Now I donāt have to find an excuse either not to go, or to drink to cover my social anxiety. Iāll be more grateful when I stop feeling FOMO
Iām grateful thereās finally a cool breeze and some autumnal weather on the horizon. Hopefully weāve seen our last 100 degree weather for the season. Iām grateful for soft blankies and a cuddly doggie.
The day started with wonderful sunshine. I am grateful for autumn coming our way, for rays of sun peeking behind the trees, sitting on the balcony enjoying the flowers and butterflies.
Did my morning run, my morning routine. So grateful I started this new routine a few months ago. It gives me so much, being out in the wood and the gardens in the morning, breathing the morning air, moving, waking up like that.
Did my morning review at my desk in the new with full sunshine all morning. Grateful I came up with this idea, could execute it yesterday and reap the benefits of it already today. Whilst the office stayed cold and gloomy my new place was warm and bright.
My daughter had a migraine today. I am very grateful after some doctoring about we seam to have found the right combination of meds to cut it short and she is well again. So grateful my ex was available to help us via phone, greatful this technology is available to us, grateful this is part of his specialty and he can help me in these situations. I always feel so overwhelmed when I canāt help my suffering child.
I spend the rest of the day reading, doing some handy work around the flat, a bit of yoga and playing games. I am grateful for this quiet day, for all the comfort of it.
Now Iām going to chillax in front of the TV and looking forward to a nice night full of recharging sleep. So grateful for every single night I can sleep. Grateful for music, TV and entertainment.
Bless your heart @Dazercat it feels great to every once in awhile to be āseenā on this awesome forum. I am greatful for you for sure. If Iām having a not so great day seeing one of your funny memes or a picture of your fluffy ones can be so uplifting!
Also, very greatful for @SassyRocks she has been so helpful to so many people on this forum for so long!

Today I am grateful for another palindrome. 262.
Grateful that yesterday I talked myself into and out of drinking. I was alone and wanted my brain to shut down. Instead, I cooked a pork loin chop and lemon-limed the heck of it. I am grateful I will eat, regardless of what I feel. (Seriously need to cut back caffeine�)
Grateful that I did sleep last night, pretty solidly. That may have come from, āYou have choices. You chose correctly.ā
Iām grateful to get right into the Q business this quiet morning.
Very grateful for my Quiet mornings. All my Quiet mornings but especially my Quiet mornings here in my new home with my pets on my lap and my mantras going with coffee and a fire
Iām grateful for QTIP Quit Taking It Personally.
Iām grateful I havenāt had to use Qtip lately. I feel like Iāve graduated and I donāt need it. It took awhile; but, here I am
Iām grateful I donāt Quench my thirst with massive amounts of beer anymore.
Iām grateful for Quiche
Iām grateful for Quahogs especially stuffed Quahogs
Iām grateful the fist Quake I experienced last week wasnāt too bad. Freaky.
Iām grateful Iāve learned first hand how important a QuinceaƱera is, in the Latin American or Spanish/Mexican Culture. And itās a beautiful thing.
And Iām grateful for Quail, especially of the Gamble kind.
Iām grateful for my Grandmaās hand made Quilts that Iāve been carting around to all my homes over the years. She use to get me to help when I was a child. Even if I donāt use them much they mean the world to me. I bet I get to use one or 2 of them out on the catio on a chilly morning.
Let the chaos that others create be theirs to resolve.
