Tuesday morning gratefulness :folded_hands:t4:

:sweat_droplets: I am so very grateful for being awake and moving about on this beautiful day
:sweat_droplets: I am so very grateful for enjoying my hot cup of strong black coffee in a dry warm living room while listening to the birds chirp outside.
:sweat_droplets: I am so very grateful that I had energy enough to get myself to my aunt’s house (5 min away) for my first reiki healing session. I am grateful that I am more mobile today and that could be thanks to this healing energy :folded_hands:t4:
:sweat_droplets: I am so very grateful that I did not mentally beat myself up for missing my workouts / swimming. I had a wonderful consecutive 47 day run. Will get back into it again :flexed_biceps:t4:
:sweat_droplets: I am so very grateful Aleve and that it seems to be the only thing that helps dull my headache and doesn’t cause stomach issues (just have to use sparingly so that I don’t start having trouble with this too). Grateful I am learning to live with pain for the most part without any pain killers or methods for numbing myself
:sweat_droplets: I am so very grateful that we have time today to deal with a stive issue at my rental. :crossed_fingers:t4: That it is an easy fix.
:sweat_droplets: I am so very grateful for my Higher Power. Grateful that I do have faith and trust in his master plan (I may not know what it is and that is ok).
:sweat_droplets: I am so very grateful that I don’t take people saying ā€œit’s all in your mindā€ or ā€œif you have a strong mind then you can cure anythingā€ or " if you are positive and practice gratefulness for all that you have then you can’t feel depressed" as personal jabs. These people don’t know me or my journey. They don’t walk in my shoes and I don’t walk in theirs. I am grateful that I know I am doing my absolute best and that is all I can do. I am also grateful to know that these people mean well and are only wanting to help
:sweat_droplets: I am so very grateful for my family. I do love them so very much and am grateful we are so very close.
:sweat_droplets: I am so very grateful for this space and all you beautiful souls! Grateful that I found this space and am able to connect with like minded people dealing with similar issues in their journeys. I don’t feel alone. Thank you :hugs:

Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day… sending you all so much love :heart: :heart:

Had to look it up ā€œrapprochementā€
(especially in international relations) an establishment or resumption of harmonious relations.

I am happy for you. I want that too - harmony in my relationships.

Grateful:

Today is my brain injury meeting with the topic about positivity. I know it’s important and willing to hear others stories about it.

A working phone and knowing that being ā€œfrozenā€ due to other things currently do does not help. Knowledge of action is a thing I know and am grateful for.

Crazy dogs.

Crazy kids.

Crazy me.

You.

Tuesday gratitude.
Today I’m grateful I can sleep when I need it. I need a lot of sleep currently.

Ups, got a call yesterday, had a zoom meeting and went to bed.

So it’s wednesday gratitude.

Today I’m grateful I’m ways better than yesterday, the day was straining. I’m grateful for good sleep, being up early, doing the morning routine in time to be ready for the chimney sweeper at 6.30. Grateful for another session how to clean the kitchen stove.
I’m grateful the dog is in the orchard, he is lovely but wants lots of attention these days. I need a break to work, eat, relax. I’m grateful the cats recovered from the vet stress yesterday (annual health check).

I’m grateful that I’m weird. I saw a video on the internet, gave it a try and hallelujah, now planting can start. Gardening In Recovery - #2114 by erntedank

I’m grateful the house gets more tidy and less dirty every day. Babysteps. I do what I can. Doing a bit a day adds up :folded_hands:
I’m grateful for showers, I need to feel clean and fresh at least once a day.
I’m grateful I tackle things at my pace. And rest when I need it. Grateful that I have developed a good sense WHEN it’s time to rest. It was a long way.
I’m grateful today’s energy level is high.
