This morning I slept in. Haven‘t done that in a while. Grateful for staying in bed a bot longer today.
Grateful for the walk I did in the gardens this morning. Autumn weather, fresh air, still so many flowers and friut on the trees. But also already some trees without leaves.
Did some more research for my game. Bronze Age and Early Iron Age. Grateful for all the ressources available to me, all those ideas coming together. Grateful for creative work.
Spent the rest of the day just chillin on the sofa, reading, watching TV. My daughter went on a day trip with her grandparents. Grateful for them, their relationship, and my free time.
Grateful for the silly exchanges on this forum.
Grateful I‘ll be able to cohost a meeting in a few.

Knee problem has increased in severity today and so glad I am home and can recover with ice and know I don’t have some major todo and have to cancel.
So very grateful a friend came and took garbage cans out to street. Never had someone I could count on last minute like them
Grateful I am sober clearheaded and so full of appreciation for life. My God is with me through the journey of LIFE. When I stay connected to his will for me great things happen.
Grateful for my recovery contacts who call me and who take my calls.
Grateful for my cats!
Grateful for my wife, who has been checking in with me every night and who told me tonight that I was allowed to feel what I was feeling (it meant a lot to hear her say that, as I was sharing about my emotional space today)
I am grateful for the kids and teenagers in my life. Spent a great day in the park with my friends and enjoyed the feeling of belonging.
Went to a fun immersive concert last night. The audience was placed amidst the orchestra. I picked a spot between the French horns (my ears are still ringing ). So cool to expierence the whole thing like I was active part of it myself. I am really grateful for people who dedicate their life to opening doors to new expierences.
I am grateful I dodged a covid infection it seems. Fingers crossed this remains true for the next few days. Really excited about my upcoming trip to Copenhagen. I am grateful I get to treat myself in ways like this. I mean, actual treats and money well spent.
This morning I am grateful for Long weekend, plenty of time to rest. Journaling. Writing thoughts on paper gives clarity. All the emotions, even the “bad” ones. They all have purpose, I just need to listen where they are coming from. Our cats and their unconditional affection. Having a job and healthcare they offer. Massage I got yesterday. It helped, I feel lighter.
Grateful for sobriety

I’m grateful for marine layer mornings like this morning. And clear mornings like yesterday mornings.
I’m grateful to have Alice purring away on my lap outside with The Ol Burner right next to me.
Grateful wifey is up earlier this morning.
I’m grateful we had a nice time at the movies and a brunch before. I’m grateful Benson liked his doggie day care. That’s their story and I’m sticking to it. I’m grateful we have a place to dump Benson off so we can do things and not have to worry about “getting home to the dog.” I’m grateful “the dog,” excuse is pretty handy when you need it
I’m grateful for my catio flowers.
I’m grateful I’m enjoying cooking again when I get to cook. I’m grateful I don’t mind doing the dishes too. I’m grateful she’ll do the dishes too; but at her time. I’m grateful it makes me feel better to just knock them out and have a clean kitchen right after dinner.
I’m grateful I just noticed a snail on my fall colored orange mums. How did he get on the flower and where is he going? I’m grateful I got a pic of snail on mum
I’m grateful I finally ordered my Saraswati figurine. Hopefully I’m not going to hell I’m grateful I got no control over that. I’m grateful as far as I’m concerned anything that “represents,” education, creativity, and music, and brings order out of chaos can’t be “bad.” I’m grateful for Saraswati’s calming and centering personality.
I’m grateful I’m liking myself. Gosh, might even be loving myself. Imagine that? I’m grateful to think back in early sobriety and even after a couple of years, “loving myself?” just gave me the willie’s. Why do we have to do that? That can’t be necessary? I’m grateful it feels good
I’m grateful for you all.
Our happiness reflects how we are living, not how others are living.
Let Go Now
Today is possibly the final interview with the travel textile sales role.
My kids are safely on this Earth.
Dogs really wanted to smash the crap out of an internet guy today. This is a big reason no one can ever convince me to get rid of them. They are wildly protective.
I breathe. I live. I think.
I know missing gratitude is missing beauty.
I’m thankful that despite my tendency for Self Sabotage, i’m still married, still have a job, my boys are still babies, and my heart hasn’t gone out.
I can hear 60 year old me from the future screaming at me, “Stop taking things for granted! If i could go back to your age E, i would sell everything that doesn’t help me progress, your games, none of it matters! Get your butt to that gym! Put down that Chocolate! Stop hurting yourself from the inside/out.”
I’m grateful there’s still time to change these things.
Grateful for today’s quote: “If you can dream it, you can do it.”
Grateful for dreams I used to remember. I currently don’t grab or know them while sleeping.
Grateful for enough knowledge to restudy today how to get my smell and taste active, through supplements and oils.
Grateful to know better when I make poor choices.
Grateful to at least sit in the final path of three sales jobs. Though I have said quite often that I don’t want to be in sales, these are things that I am aware people want and need. That makes a bit of a difference.
Grateful to force myself here this morning and grateful that soon it may be optimal.
Saturday.
I’m grateful to be sober
I’m grateful for BB study with my new sponsor
Grateful to not be hung over for my kiddos soccer game

Grateful it hasn’t started snowing yet.
Last check-in here on wednesday? I’m not quite sure what happened, obviously I fell asleep the moment I hit the couch or bed in the last days.
I’m grateful it’s saturday afternoon and I hit my home thread now!
Life is so busy and straining, I’m grateful my head doesn’t explode. And I don’t bite anybody.
I’m really grateful the ex removes his stuff but I cope with his not announced presence worse and poorer each time he shows up. Meanwhile I’m pretty out of coping strategies and stamina. My emotions are running with scissors, my heart howls “love me!”, my soul wants peace - instantly, my brain has a yellow lamp burning indicating overload and my nerves already started to pack to wander off to some cozy, calm, nice, friendly island far far away. I’m grateful at least my body does what it should: function, navigate through the day and cuddle cats. I’m grateful for catlove. And this friend we talk daily as we both are rotating with struggles at the moment.
I’m gratefulI didn’t bit the facade workers when they first put plastic shit on my house. Nope, hemp insulation it is. A real misunderstanding in the original order and I’m sure I communicated clearly. But I didn’t double-check the offer. I’m so tired to have to double- and triple-check everything. Well, problem solved, now the right material comes on the wall.
I’m grateful I bought ridiculous expensive fish and cooked it today. Once every blue moon I treat myself to something like this and it tasted wonderful.
I’m grateful I picked up my prescriptions at the pharmacy today. Their advise what I could take to support my blood pressure and pre-diabetic conditions was helpful. I give this supplements a try.
I’m grateful the hot water buffers lasted until I finished a nice hot shower this morning. Making fire in the furnace was quick today
I’m also grateful there’s a cozy fire in the kitchen stove burning, making hanging on the couch with cats relaxing and peaceful. I’m grateful for all my cozy, comfy, nice & peaceful life. I’m grateful I feel a nap approaching and stop here for now. ODAAT
