Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #7

Tuesday gratitude.

Sending hugs to @TrustyBird and @Peace :people_hugging:

Today I’m grateful for tea after a night full of nightmares. For a better tasting meal than yesterday. For the workers to nearly finish the small stonewall. Next steps: gravel the driveway and rearrange all the stones still lying around the buildings. I want them parked for winter to not be in my way.
I’m grateful the old boy got fluids today and I took Missi to the vet, her eyes are infected. I’m grateful they all wanted treats when we were home again. Poor Schimanski was irritated.

I’m grateful I killed a wasp in the kitchen. No clue how it came in and very grateful I noticed it as I’m highly allergic.

I’m grateful I did some chores and office work today. Every task counts.

I’m grateful I rested and napped today, listening to my needs :pray:
I’m grateful for meditation and focused ME time. I was a lot less nervous afterwards.
I’m grateful for warm water. I’m grateful I can heat the furnace when the solar plant provides not enough. I’m grateful today it was not necessary.

I’m grateful that I watch this new series I started after the other one (that I didn’t like). I like it. I’m grateful I stop mid episode when I have enough. My life, my rules.

I’m very tired and go to bed now. Tomorrow is another day and early to bed is nice. ODAAT

Today I am grateful for 300 days of freedom from sugar and thus 300 days of my recovery journey. None of this would be possible without your support, this community here. I will be grateful forever I found TS :heart:

I am grateful for a good sleep this night. Grateful for a good morning.
Grateful we got my daughterā€˜s migraine episode very quickly under control. Grateful this new medical regime is helping. Grateful she could spend a normal day after only a few hours of migraine.

I am grateful for my work, the ideas I had, the time, energy and path I can follow.

I am grateful for the fabulous book I finished today.

I am grateful for relaxing yin yoga, a few walks today.

I am grateful I got so much done.

I am grateful for an inspiring phone call I had with one of my cousins. Itā€˜s always good to talk to her.

I am grateful the day is done, Iā€˜ll be off to sleep in a few and already looking forward to tomorrow.

Sleep tight sober friends :night_with_stars:

WHAT?
A crodough, also known as a Cronut, combines the best aspects of a croissant and a doughnut. They share the same shape as a doughnut, but instead of their typical doughy texture, they have a crispy exterior and are soft and airy on the inside.
Thanks Google

It’s hard keeping up with you kids :laughing:
We got cronuts in TO

Wednesday morning gratitude.
I’m grateful I spoke up and gave the workers instructions to gravel the path to the driveway first. It’s too muddy to go without destroying the soil and maybe harming the pipes beneath and I insisted to to avoid driving over the neighbour’s ground. I’m grateful I did it in a friendly way AND made clear this is how it has to be done. I’m grateful for breath meditation as such situations and decisions stress me a lot. I’m tired to bear all this alone, my ex and I were a good team to discuss and find solutions. I’m grateful I notice that talking about things and getting a second opinion is what I miss. I’m grateful I can handle things alone allthough it’s stressing me a lot.
I’m grateful I put away the garden stuff so the workers can remove the stones from the carport and fill up with gravel there.
I’m grateful work is going fast but it makes me nervous. That’s not my pace and I’ve been coping with it poorly for a week now. I need to have a look at the why and what in particular. I can smell old habits & practices scenting their odor. I’m tired of digging in old whatever.

I’m grateful I fed the cats at 4:30 a.m. and closed the bedroom door. The old boy stressed me with his miowing several times at night and I had enough. I’m grateful I fell asleep again. Not grateful for the awkward dream I had. I woke up tired, exhausted, dizzy and irritated, feeling lost, ashamed, cringy and driven.

I’m grateful Missi is compliant in getting her eyedrops. She sleeps on my chest and purrs. I love my cats to pieces.

I’m grateful for a chat with neighbours when I cleaned the street from mud (first round of many today, I’m responsible to keep the street clean when work at my place is going on). I’m grateful I rest now and have fresh, hot tea beside me. ODAAT, today from hour to hour :pray:

Grateful that I chose not to drink alcohol yesterday, despite a huge amount of ā€œneedā€ to shut my brain off.
Grateful for meditation, though I haven’t been able to get it back, eventually I will.
Same for music. Same for closing my eyes outside of sleep time. Same for stairs.
Grateful that I have a voice in my head that speaks against me allowing other people to ā€œcontrolā€ me. They can change things…but not me - NOT ME.
Grateful that housing exists for me, somewhere I haven’t found.

Love.

I’m grateful for @SoberWalker if I ever do make it to Amsterdam you owe me a sugar free cake. And I want to see that tree. And pet your cat. And I just love your story about that last glass of wine that got knocked over.
I’m grateful for @Salty I feel a common bond with you. Many of your shares and pics remind me of great times as a young child visiting my relatives up in Sherbrooke. And your way with words and love for your family. Still miss your memes. And our love for a marble rye :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: :laughing:
