Good point. I am fighting to be grateful living in someone else’s house. It’s still a super interesting thing. I have been massively independent, both as a single parent, and maybe a cop’s kid. 
Even my kids’ college tuition is knocking me around - thankfully. Much love.

I do know how hard it can be to feel less independent and have to rely on others. Know people love you and you are actively working on healing yourself which takes time. Be kind to yourself and your brain during this process

I’m grateful I got company in saying out loud that an ease on chores is wonderful and something to be grateful for 
Thus I start my tuesday gratitude with: I’m grateful for my washer/dryer, the load of sofa cover blankets to wash is incredible. I’m grateful my old boy was comfy on the sofa during his last days and peed covers can be washed.
I’m grateful I put my 19 year old cat to sleep today, his body declined rapidly and his sweet soul wanted to go. Grateful for all the sympathy and support I got here, it means the world to me
I’m grateful the vet came home and he went peacefully.
I’m grateful for instant cremation, I have his urn already at home
I’m grateful for all the kind messages I received from friends and pals, he was much loved.
I’m grateful it’s early evening, I need to eat something and walk the dog. I’m grateful I can fall into bed afterwards and sleep, sleep, sleep. I feel like I have no more tears in me and I’m exhausted, relieved, sad, happy, irritated, wide awake and numb at the same time. It’s time for food, a solid walk, a hot shower and sleep.
I’m grateful that my habit of grieving in advance leads to me being happy that this sweet soul now is his genuine self again in heaven, without burden and suffering old age.
I’m grateful for all the love in my life, even when the price for it is grief. I’m grateful I find comfort in daily routines. So back to the dogwalk. ODAAT

Today I am just grateful that I get to be alive.
I am grateful that I am curious enough to believe that we know everything and nothing.
I am grateful that I can start to truly accept that and even SMH (as the youngsters say, or type) at life and her ridiculous foils and foibles.
Grateful to fuel myself physically and spiritually.
Grateful to start letting go of what’s not in my immediate sphere. I can’t take on fights I can’t at least stay on my feet for.
Grateful for all the signals in the world that most of life and people in general ARE GOOD.
Grateful to accept pain and unfairness and hypocrisy.
Grateful to know that I can’t help where I can’t help.
Grateful to accept that saying that when people show you who they are; believe them.
Grateful to be doing regular breathwork again; I should never push aside my tools.
Mostly, I am grateful that I am sober. That I get to see this fucking brilliant bright lightness after the darkness.

Thursday noon time gratitude.
Thank you all for your warm, lovely, kind words 
I’m grateful for therapy. It helps me to cope with life and put things in perspective. I’m grateful that I’m honest, to myself, to others. I’m grateful I’ve always been this. Sometimes it’s uncomfortable, most times it is helpful, raw, clear, fine, kind and much more.
I’m grateful all my loved ones are loved and cared, I’m a loving and caring person. My ex didn’t want that anymore at some point, at least his behaviour indicated so. Maybe the drunk wanted to be loved and cared as drunk without giving back but I backed away from him, I couldn’t stand it anymore. Love must be noticeable for me, present, I need to sense that it is still there and my partner still cares. The absence of it nearly killed me at the end. I’m grateful I stayed sober of codependent behaviour, the longing for something that I for sure would not get from him when my old boy passed and the days before was overwhelming. My deepest gratitude to you all here on TS, I filled this void with connecting here and it worked
I’m grateful I treated myself to some marvellous icecream after therapy and will now head home again. Grateful I care for myself too ODAAT
