Grateful:

Through a local Veterans’ non-profit, I have received ten sessions with a counselor. I have never been to one, so we’ll see about that.
Slept pretty well.
Talked to both kids - their issues are hopefully temporary.
Am working to join the company I was in for about ten years.
Working on taking action not waiting for miracles.
You. Me.

What am I grateful for today?
I am grateful today how easy it sometimes is to be with friends, to laugh, to feel joy and to part when it is best.
I am grateful for my work, I am grateful for the process I work through, for learning this method of working. I am grateful for the tools I have. I am grateful for all the people who support me. I am grateful to be in this iterative process.
I am grateful to have had a lot of energy and a full day today.
I’m grateful that the day is almost over, that I’m tired, in that pleasant, fulfilling way, that the sun is about to set and I’m about to go to bed.

Grateful:

For the 24 hour International Womens Meeting, which kept me sane today
For making the sober decision not to get a new pet on the spot today, that woukd have been irresponsible at this time
For all the people who check in on me, are happy for me, and who cheer me on from near or far
For my safety and health
For my stuffed animals that make me happy
For all the beautiful spring weather! Like many others said, I was told to expect rain but it was pretty nice
For my newfound love of headbands and headscarves, that make every outfit POP
For my higher power, doing things I could never do for myself

I’m grateful I take time to check in here on my home thread.
Saturday lunchtime gratitude.

Today I’m grateful for

  • breakfast and taking my meds before noon
  • feeling ways better than yesterday, tummy issues, headache and wobbly are gone
  • 8 hours of solid sleep. I slept rather crappy and too little lately, so this is lifting my energy level.
  • Living, working, doing things at my pace. I’m still surprised how things get done and evolve without stressing around, feeling overwhelmed and constantly behind despite I AM behind in farmwork.
  • The cool weather, it spares me overworking on planting the trees and seedlings and getting frustrated because the power take-off on the traktor is not working, the weed is impossible to remove without rototilling and repair will hopefully be done next week.
  • Patience and serenity about things I can’t change (see above)
  • Catlove. My furballs are cuddlebugs and I love them to pieces.
  • Doglove. My big dog is a sweetheart who has some flaws. But I love him. Recently the timer showed 60 days living with a dog. I’m grateful his social behaviour improves slowly.
  • My messy, dirty house where we live our best life very comfortable. I do the best I can and see light at the end of the cleaning and tidying tunnel as the rain stopped, all things got delivered (from petfood to potato planters), the seedlings are mainly ready to plant and I still have an overview of what needs to be done and a plan.
  • In detail to above I’m grateful I pressure-washed the balcony today. Now it’s ready for the final arrangement of the veggie pots :face_savoring_food: I’m looking forward to a green wall of peas, beans, tomatillos, physalis, potatoes and my balcony bush tomatoes.
  • I’m grateful I got into doing my own seedlings this year again, in a broad variety of veggies and some herbs and flowers. I enjoy seeing the plants grow.
  • ODAAT and HALT
  • Resting when I need it
  • Therapy. I’m dealing with some emotional upheavals, reflecting, codependent triggers and feelings of anger, frustration, what-ifs as the 3rd anniversary of the breakup is approaching. Letting the past be past is hard work and I’m grateful for this strict boundary and people who support me in strengthening it. I’m grateful I deal with it in a calm and adult way, not slipping back into helpless, codependent thinking patterns. I’m grateful I focus on strengthening my appreciation and gratitude for my life as it is, because it’s wonderful and I love it. No space for missing something that stopped existing long ago.
  • Nice neighbours
  • My reliable car which gets it’s major repair first week of june
  • The wells on the farm will get their overhaul in june, very grateful the well-lady called me.
  • I’m grateful I went through my finances and made above possible. Everything got so fucking expensive.
  • Friends, near and afar
  • Asparagus season
  • Parcel delivery
  • Hot water from the solar plant and hot showers
  • Fresh, clean laundry
  • Tea, cocoa, milk with honey, a delicious cup of coffe my tummy tolerates (still missing the ability to drink coffe more than twice a months, even after 30 years of my sensitive tummy restricting it to this maximum intake)
  • Today: sunshine. To be honest I was tired to walk the dog in the grey, rainy weather wearing a wintercoat, bonnet, shawl and warm socks.
  • The fruittrees bear fruit, maybe there will be a harvest. Didn’t expect it, they were loaded last year and normally then pause the next.
  • A purring, heavy Missi on my belly

I’m grateful I took time to write down what came to my mind. ODAAT :folded_hands:

I’m grateful to finally be out in the catio this morning with coffee and Benson. No Maverick :cry:
I’m grateful I will always have Maverick in my heart and I will always think of him when I’m out here in the morning.

I’m grateful Alice is making a good substitution warmly purring on my lap.
I’m grateful Daisy finally settled down on the couch next to her buddy Benson after exploring for awhile.

I’m grateful the humming bird never seems to get in the house. I’m grateful for my Jasmine and the hummingbird seems to know to stick with that. I’m grateful Jasmine season is right around the corner. It’s going to smell wonderful. I’m grateful for the smell of roses on my walks.

I’m grateful for my mantra chanting music Mavy and I use to listen to out here. I thought I’d honor him with it. I’m grateful I’m not crying. I’m grateful it’s going to be a typical sunny warm California day. We don’t actually get too many of them where I live. And I’m actually grateful for that. I’m grateful for “Gray May.” And “June and Gloom,” weather, they call it where we live near the ocean.

I’m grateful my wife’s blue light skin cancer treatment went well. Just precancerous things they wanted to get rid of on her face. Just good to get that stuff done. I’m grateful we are able to go to our new dermatologist every 6 months for a mole and skin check up.

I’m grateful other than Alice fluids we have no plans for this Saturday day.
I’m grateful I invited the kids over for tacos, chalupas and queso for dinner after nap time.

I’m grateful I get to go to my beach meeting tomorrow. And a hike and maybe lunch out unless all the mothers in the world are out having lunch where I’m going.

Thank you :hugs:
Life is so busy, I barely make it here allthough I am on TS most days. Maybe walking by my neighbours wayside shrine and saying a prayer of thanks twice a day is easier than typing it all out :see_no_evil_monkey:
To be honest some days I start reading to catch up and next thing I know is my alarm clock ringing. Today I went straight to writing :blush: So it’s the gratitude of a whole week.
Have a nice weekend and give your purring & barking furballs a scratch from me and whatever the chickens like :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

@Dazercat I vote for adoption too! Could you beam me my share of this delicious meal over please? :wink::face_savoring_food:
