Today I am grateful for my 3rd day of sobriety. I can’t believe I could do 3 days a just last week. But here I am. I’m grateful for my job and I’m grateful I could start making the changes I need to get better before it ended in me losing my job or getting in trouble with the law. I’m so happy for today!
It has been a while since I posted on here…weird, strange things happening in my mind.
I have however been checking in every day. Looking at all the wonderful things everyone is grateful for. Laughing and crying and smiling and living and being in each and every one of your moments. Today, I am grateful for this community. Knowing it’s here. Looking forward to the wonderful ways @Dazercat is weaving the alphabet into the gratitudes, watching @JazzyS celebrate everyone’s moments and sharing yours, @tailee17 and the wonderful images…everyone here has made me smile and I am grateful for you. For all your journeys and the absolute honour that it is for me to be a tiny part of it with you.
Thank you!
I am grateful for the summer rains!!! I cannot wait for the first big thunderstorm of the season. I have the perfect book for it! A friend’s second book! He wrote a sci-fi!
I am grateful for obscure sorrows…today’s word:
nyctousadj. feeling quietly overjoyed to be the only one awake in the middle of the night - sitting alone with a laptop and a cup of tea or strolling down the centre line of an abandoned street - taking in the world like an empty theatre between productions, stripped down to a simple black box, open to be whatever you want it to be.
I’m grateful my Mom passed yesterday. I’m grateful she was in Hospice and hopefully had minimal pain. I’m grateful my siblings are with me. I’m grateful I was able to be with her for all but maybe 5 hours of her dying journey.
I’m grateful I know that drinking doesn’t cure sadness.
Thank you Eric. You are true source of inspiration for me. Some people on this forum you just seem to really click with and I think you are top of that list. You were so welcoming and full of kind words on my arrival. I am grateful to have you in my life
My condolences to you
Jen @Peace and Emilie @TrustyBird
I am so sorry about the loss of your mothers.
My thoughts and prayers are with you both and your families in this very difficult time.
I am grateful for the lovely feedback on the work I do. It came unexpected, so it felt especially nice. I am grateful to have run into an old class mate of mine and have a little chat and make plans to meet again for a longer catch up, when he is back in town. I am grateful for my short lunch stroll along the waterfront - sun was shining, leaves are starting to fall. It was nice. Trying to be grateful for all the critters on this planet, but currently struggling with it. Saw a huge fleshy spider in my living room (size of my hand) last night. It ran off, when I tried to catch it and now it can be possibly anywhere, right? Trying to convince myself it’s just as scared of me as I am scared of it. I am grateful for a good night sleep, despite the unwelcome room mate.
… great to see you posting. I look forward to learning new words. Appreciate your check ins
