I’m grateful
For a snowy day in!!
For the smell of fresh snow
For a warm cozy house
For a cup of coffee this morning and then way too many pots of tea throughout the day
For getting ontop of shoveling
For seeing my dogs so happy playing in the snow. They are so cute
For good books and music
For getting some work done
For snowshoeing
For the beautiful mountains
That I am sober, healthy and growing in my ability to cope

I’m grateful for another hangover free, headache free, sober morning with my cat and my coffee.
I’m grateful the cat just got up and I’m free to move around the cabin. Brb……
I’m grateful I found Alice. Didn’t know where she could be; but, the guest room door was open and she’s asleep on the pillows. I’m grateful I’m going to let her sleep. I usually stick a bowl of food under her nose to get her to eat but she looks so peaceful. I’m grateful she’s maintaining her 7 pounds. Barely.
I’m grateful Maverick is back up on my lap. Empty bladder 
Full cup of hot ginger turmeric tea and time for gratitude
I’m grateful my landscape guys came and trimmed back all the hydrangeas in my catio and replaced the annuals with red and white Cyclamens. I’m grateful they hosed down the catio and it’s never looked cleaner and orderly except that one tall white pumpkin knocked over leaning on its side out of place.
I’m grateful there’s my hummingbird out the front window sucking on the purple sage. I’m grateful I think it’s the same hummingbird at the same sage bush at the same time each morning. I’m grateful that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. I think I’ll name him Sassy

I’m grateful I wasn’t upset when my Moka pot only put out half a cup of wicked, too strong coffee as I just topped it up with hot water and it made for a gorgeous
I’m grateful for the new little rug we got for the parlor even though it smells like skunk in the afternoon when the sun hits the room. I’m grateful at least it doesn’t smell bad in the mornings. I’m grateful we figured out what the smell was and it wasn’t a skunk or critter outside or up in our attic.
I’m grateful my wife didn’t drink yesterday. Again. I’m grateful she’s probably not drinking today either. Again. I have no expectations as that will lead to resentments and it’s her choice not mine.
I’m grateful I can be sober while life is in session. The good. The bad. And the ugly. It’s all better when I’m sober.
I’m grateful to look down and see Benson sleeping on the new stinky rug in between his morning purple bristle bone and his red afternoon Kong bone 
He’s so cute 
Today, I will get peaceful first, and let my work and life emerge from that base.

Thursday gratitude.
Today was a somehow weird day. I’m grateful I had a long nap after lunch, basically all afternoon. The night was crappy and I needed it.
I’m grateful I got a little bit done despite being dizzy and beside myself all day. Maybe I feel the weather change, snow is forecast. Maybe the cold wind drives me crazy. Maybe I just need rest after months of intense work and life being busy and straining. Maybe hybernation mode is approaching me. I’m grateful I fall asleep while thinking about it. Each time.
I’m grateful for therapy. I’ve been feeling confused lately and talked about it. Seems to be a boundary issue. I’m grateful I got to work on my boundaries.
I’m grateful for leftovers, rice and salad, nuts for dessert. I’m always grateful for simple, yummi meals.
I’m grateful I dragged my sleepy ass outside and fetched logs to stack them in the carport. I need firewood tomorrow, lots of it, for the wood burner in the library. I’m grateful I’ll take the minutes again at the annual meeting tomorrow. I’m grateful the meeting is online. I’m grateful for office @ home, I love the concept of having my office in the library. I’m grateful I have so many books that they need an own room and spread around the house. I’m grateful all my family were big readers. I’m grateful for books. And computers. And internet.
I’m grateful for catlove galore today. Fluffy funny weirdos, demanding pets, food, play, invading everything, sleeping on and beside me.
I’m grateful for friends calling me, I’ve been missing out on IRL contacts lately and I’m missed. Miss them too. We will meet at the end of the year.
I’m grateful for the warm house and the cozy bed where I’m already under the comfy blanket. I’m grateful for my life. ODAAT

Sorry that your anxiety is so high… so grateful you are here practicing gratitude - did it help?

Thanks friend 
Glad to hear that it helped. I totally get not knowing how to relax. I am still working on it myself without the guilt. We do deserve down time. After years living in active addiction, it is hard to remember having time to relax as I think we were always chasing the next fix.
You are doing great Trevor! Keep working your recovery.

I am so very grateful for waking up early enough to get a text from my doctor and reply before falling asleep
I am so very grateful for waking up to a light dusting of snow and not a storm as was expected
I am so very grateful for no issues driving. Was able to make my deliveries with no problem and was able to drive back safely. My fatigue was hitting me real hard this morning. Grateful I was able to get some sleep and get some energy.
I am so very grateful for gaining enough energy to work on my tidying up a bit at my parents house. The room is coming together nicely.
I am so very grateful for layering up with warm clothes and getting in my 5 mile walk. I needed to push through and not sit / lie down all day
I am so very grateful for remembering my appointment tomorrow. Have an early morning eye appointment tomorrow.
I am so very grateful for my Higher Power. Grateful for the connection and grateful for my faith
I am so very grateful for my family and their unwavering support.
I am so very grateful for laundry machines, stoves and refrigerators!

Friday gratitude.
I’m grateful for the weird position typing as my old boy lies on my chest and blocks every normal arm position to type on the phone. I love him to pieces.
I’m grateful it snowed last night. I was outside before sunrise, marvelous. I love fresh snow. I’m also grateful for the warm house and love the fire in the stove. I’m grateful for winter to charge my batteries, I need the cold to survive the summer heat. I’m grateful it’s cold.
I’m grateful for an interesting interview today. Let’s hear what they take of what was spoken. I’ll get a notice when they broadcast the radio show. I’m grateful for the opportunity to talk about something important for me.
I’m grateful I still kick it taking the minutes. Preparation was easy and I handed in the minutes directly after the annual meeting. I’m grateful that I have my ducks in a row when I really want it. I love this kind of work. I’m grateful that I’m exhausted and want to sleep 12 hours. This is the good kind of tired. I’m grateful I can sleep in tomorrow when the cats let me. Two days with no plans ahead. I’m grateful that this doesn’t scare me. Time for everything I like. I feel naps smiling around the corner. ODAAT

I’m grateful for a road trip after my work shift tonight. Lots going on in my head and I will enjoy every minute of this weekend away.
I’m grateful for Lady Gray tea in my thermos and a double layer chocolate cake in the trunk of my car.
I’m grateful for girlfriends who can make me laugh until my stomach hurts.
I’m grateful for lakes and cabins with brown carpet.
I’m grateful for time away, I feel as if I might have been heading for a mental breakdown. Lots of anger and sadness to outgas.
I’m grateful for a (hopefully) calmer soul after time spent with people who truly know and love me.

I am grateful for heating.
I am grateful the heating at work is working as insulation is practically non existent.
I am grateful for colleagues.
I am grateful for crisps air. And soon the sun will be up and guess what: no fog.
I am grateful I used the motivation and looked for a winter jacket which I will be happy to have today.
I am grateful that anxiety is also something that comes and go.
I am grateful I watched a lecture about the brain last night. It was amazing. It was funny as well. I am grateful for people who can teach things using understandable words.
I am grateful I slept well.
I am grateful I have enough.

I’m grateful I was able to tick so many things off my personal to-do list today. For the last few weeks, work has been pressing me and I haven’t been able to keep up with my own errands and chores as I would have liked. I pushed a non-urgent project to the back burner and am grateful I made space to get my own things done.
I’m grateful for a friend who gave me a ton of resources to help me automate some tedious work tasks.
I’m grateful that my meditation streak is still going.
I’m grateful I was able to avoid scrolling on my ohone for one more day.
I’m grateful for a full night’s restful sleep last night.
I’m grateful for this thread that allows me to show myself how lucky I am✨
