Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #7

I’m grateful for a car that runs and a commute that’s under an hour.

I’m grateful for Halloween decorations, my house is looking festive.

I’m grateful for steady employneny, my family, The Coffee Shop, and coffee.

Body balance; my body needed the stretch, especially my hips.
A break in the rain
A nice sunset
The ability to turn the news off
For those who have the energy to trailblaze
Biscuits
A seven hours sleep
Coffee
Some sunshine
Water

Gratitude for today.

Today was lazy day, kind of. I am grateful I can take a day off like that.

I wanted to go hiking with a friend. The weather did prank us. I got soaking wet. Did a bike ride in a downpur. I am grateful for this refreshing weather.

We eventually regrouped and decided to have coffee and chat at my home. I am grateful for friends, for chats, for similarities, for listening and being listened to.

I got to read a lot and watch some Slow Horses. As always grateful for entertainment.

Did a very short yoga and meditation practice. Grateful it was short, grateful I made it.

My daughter is having a headache again. I am learning to to deal with that. Learning to deal with my worries, my anxiety, seperating my emotions from her well being. I am grateful I have tools to work through this.

My daughter‘s friend has some health issues. Her parents are overwhelmed, confused, worrying. My ex could help a bit. I could help a bit. I am grateful was able to be of some help.

I am going to co-host a Recovery Dharma meeting. I am grateful for this program, the people there, for this opportunity. It will definitely take my mind from worrying.

I am grateful for this life, grateful for this day.

Sleep tight sober friends :night_with_stars:

Wednesday gratitude.

I’m grateful for today, it was partly a weird day :pray:

I’m grateful I got up and fumbled around the house when I woke up at 2 a.m. and couldn’t fall asleep again. I’m grateful for an hour of additional sleep before sunrise (grey-rise would be more precise) and a nap late afternoon.

I’m grateful the workers were able to work the half day before rain started.
I’m grateful I spent the morning outside with tractor and log work. I’m grateful I heated the furnace for the first time this season and it went well. I’m grateful there’s enough wood stored to keep the house cozy & warm for the next rainy days. I love a fire in the fireplace, in my case my wood-burning kitchen stove. The warmth is unbeatable. I’m grateful for this luxury. My cats too, they laze around like very comfy dead flies :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I’m grateful my brain works. I organised some documents my lawyer wanted by simply calling the institutions and within minutes … bling bling, email. I’m deeply grateful I did not have to go through my messy archive to find them. This is a lot of work to catch up as parts of it are still at the townhouse office and parts are not even filed completely. I’m grateful for thinking of other ways to get them. I really hope this will help with arguments to settle this financial monkey circus on monday.

I’m grateful the ex fetched stuff again.

I’m grateful for calls with friends, cooking a yummy meal (leftovers for tomorrow), skipping household chores today, instead thinking about how to cope healthy with the relief depression I expect after ex & stuff are finally gone and the farm is only mine. Working outdoor like today is definitely in the basket.

I’m grateful I feel confident and adult today. I’m grateful tomorrow is another day, not too busy but driving in the rain stresses me. So I’m grateful in advance for ME time tomorrow. And for journalling, it helps me a lot to unwind at the moment.

I’m grateful I put my sober, tired head on the pillow now. ODAAT :pray:

Grateful to force myself to this space.
Grateful I have a first-time ever eviction court date. It gives me a timeline and knowledge that if I get out before then, it will be cancelled and no official historic eviction lives.
I slept last night, a little valerian and magnesium could’ve helped or could’ve been the court date. My ease was immediate come to that. I am an interesting person.

I’m grateful for putting my sober head on a pillow now and looking fwd for a decent sleep. Again first time after a while so resuming building my resilience at full power and learning to love myself better, I deserve pieces of happiness, love and success. Grateful for higher power - God, Jesus, my g. angel.

That doesn’t really happen when you are unemployed and without money. I do know that something will fall into my zone, otherwise Cabin-ing for a month? It will all be alright.

I am grateful that I have lots of great memories of my Mom that I can hold onto following her passing. I miss her so much. She was an amazing person.

I am grateful to be grieving without the hazy cloud of hangovers and the mental instability from the chemical imbalances that drinking creates. F THAT.

I’m grateful for my morning routine. And grateful it’s doesn’t ALWAYS have to be exactly the same. I’m grateful it was very important for me to have my morning routine exactly the same in the beginning of my sober journey. I’m grateful I can be more flexible and just be content.

I’m grateful they found crystals in Mavy’s urine sample :grimacing: we had no idea and now I’m grateful we can start antibiotics and a urinary tract diet for him to battle this thing. I’m grateful he likes his new food. Presently :smirk_cat: I’m grateful B’s urine sample came back good still waiting on her bloodwork. I’m grateful we like our new vet. And all the veterinarians we’ve met there so far.

I’m grateful we get to drop Benson off at the doggie day care to play with some dogs while wifey and I go out for brunch and a movie. I’m grateful we won’t have to worry about getting home for the dog.

I’m grateful for Gus time yesterday. Oh my god he’s a moose 🫎 :blush: I mean he’s a big boy. I don’t know how my daughter carries him around when she has too. I’m grateful I actually got a hug and a snuggle from him as I carried him, oof, to the car from the restaurant last night. I’m grateful parenting is for the young. Or at least I was young when we did it. I’m grateful my daughter is such a great mom. I’m grateful I remember to tell her that.

I’m grateful it’s nice out currently.
I’m grateful for my beach meeting yesterday. I’m grateful it’s Monday through Friday at 8:30 so I can always make one depending on my schedule. I’m grateful I made yesterday’s, there weren’t many people there. I’m grateful that’s one way people are happy to see me :joy:
I’m grateful my beach meetings are so diverse. Sometimes just 4 or 5 alcoholics on a beach and sometimes 60 or more. I’m grateful I never know until I show.

I’m grateful for my very interesting weather wise hike after the meeting and my baguette and cappuccino afterwards.

I’m grateful for y’all.
I’m grateful for my wife. I’m grateful we have some humor we see on line and wait for each other to watch it together. I’m grateful for Trea Crowder and Randy Rainbow :rainbow: :joy:
