Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #8 🪷

Greatful today and in this moment

My recovery is in tact and strong with daily work
Life one day at a time
Made it home without much issue
Deep breaths will get me thru the day
Aa fellowship and friends of bill around the world
My favorite ladies meeting tonight
I get to give my sponsee her 11mo chip tomorrow
The ability to live in the present even if it takes work
Quiet hugs with hubby this morning
My senses
Boscoes greeting and his smiles
A good sleep

Grateful
That I love TLC, even though the site is changing and irritates me, I know that what’s at the base is the most important thing.
I know asking for help matters. If I don’t I will lose much. I can be tired, feeling depressed, sick to my stomach, and with all these things I’d advise others to ask for help.
I remember when I didn’t think a thousand bucks was that much - lessons matter. Lessons all over the place.
Mmm…My kids. Always my kids, no matter what.
Life - no matter what.
you people

Thursday evening gratitude.
I’m grateful for a long nap in the afternoon, I needed it.
I’m grateful I used the cooler evening hours to harvest mulberries and water the seedlings still waiting to be planted. I’m grateful I do the best I can, even when all the to dos are too much. I’m grateful that I learn to find balance, some things have to wait, some things get priority. I’m grateful I give myself grace for not being perfect and not being able to do everything in one day. I’m grateful I respect my limits even when it’s hard and frustrating. I’m a work in progress and I’m grateful there IS progress.
I’m grateful dogtraining was fun today, the big boy must board the car tomorrow, we have a training appointment where I hope to find help with his social behaviour. I’m grateful he already behaves A LOT better but he is still missing the basic skills of interaction. Besides that he is a lovely cuddlebug :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
I’m grateful the cats appreciate that I now have more time for them, more energy to play and cuddle. I’m grateful all my pets were ok with a lot of my energy going to caring about my late old boy the last weeks. I’m grateful that I feel at peace.

I’m grateful I could join a workshop on winter veggies today, I almost forgot about it. It was so interesting. I’m grateful for everything online. Attending a workshop resting on the couch with a purring cat on my chest is wonderful. I’m grateful for modern amenities, dishwashers and washers and that I’m half through the pile of laundry and couch covers. Step by step is how it gets done.
I’m grateful for the big red furball sleeping next to me, this purring bundle of love.

I am grateful for a great evening out with Dad and a truly elating concert. I am grateful I can do it sober, while he cannot, but we still both enjoyed it.

Lately, some old sadness is working its way to the surface, bit by bit, so it can heal slowly. I am grateful I know this is what healing looks like: giving the emotion space, trusting it will be temporary. It feels like I am walking backwards in time, step by step towards the core of my addiction. Feeling more prepared to face it one day. This is year 4 of sobriety. I am glad I am here.

The linden trees in front of my house are in full bloom. I love sitting on my balcony in that sweet summer scent, eating strawberries. Gonna go for a lake swim today. I love early summer.

Grateful for serenity. Grateful for all of you who are walking the walk with me. :orange_heart:

Friday 13th gratitude.
I’m grateful friday 13th is my lucky date. I’m grateful it was a lucky day.

Today I’m grateful I made it safe to the dog training center and back after a short night of crappy sleep. I’m grateful I found there what I was looking for, it helped a lot and there’s a plan I will follow.
I’m grateful everything went well.
I’m grateful for a long nap in the afternoon, I needed it badly.
I’m grateful the a/c is taking the edge off the summer heat and keeps the living room at my comfort temperature.
I’m grateful for purring Missi on me, for sleeping Schimanski on the couch near me and snorring Bruno on the carpet. I love my pets to pieces. I’m grateful old boy Tiglatpileser’s urn is on the table, still in the middle of us :sparkling_heart: My parents would have loved this. I’m grateful I think of my parents with love and miss them.

I’m grateful the plants can wait another day in their watered boxes, I was not able to do any farmwirk today. I’m grateful I respect my limits and learn to find balance. I’m grateful that I’m alone, this was impossible while living with my ex. I’m grateful I do the best I can now and give myself grace that I did my best then. I’m grateful for changing circumstances leading to different versions of doing my best. I’m grateful I now live the life I always wanted :folded_hands:
I’m grateful for all my blessings. ODAAT

Saturday morning gratitude.
I’m grateful for my safe, cozy home. I’m grateful Igot up at my usual time allthough it was late yesterday and I didn’t sleep well. I’m grateful I enjoyed a concert on TV yesterday evening very much.
I’m gratefully sitting on the balcony, drinking tea, the pets arund me, we all enjoying the still cool morning and the sunshine.

I’m grateful I can take it easy today and do as I please. I’m grateful that I know it is a huge privilege to live such a peaceful, safe, wonderful life in a beautiful, quiet place with lovely neighbours. I’m grateful my only worries are weeding, mowing and if I catch all ticks off my dog.
I’m grateful this is made possible by the hard work I put into myself for years. I’m grateful I don’t need unhealthy coping mechanisms like alcohol, binge eating, overly sleeping anymore. I’m super grateful that I’m sober from codependent behaviour for almost 5 months. I’m grateful for my toolbox to deal with unhealthy patterns. I’m grateful that I give myself grace to have lived in overexhausted survival mode for a very long time before realizing it. I’m grateful I took it serious when I read on here years ago: Create a life you don’t want to escape from. I did it. I’m grateful for all the support I had and still have on my way, here virtually on TS and IRL.
I’m grateful. ODAAT

Saturday evening gratitude.
I’m grateful I got a major fit and steam cleaned for hours today. I’m grateful I act when my line of bearable dirtyness is crossed. I’m grateful for the long nap in the afternoon, I needed it. Not grateful for the horrible dreams though.
I’m grateful I still got the energy to do what’s necessary. The heat is taking it’s toll on me. Grateful for the a/c.
I’m grateful for washers of all kind. The cats puked on the fesh covers, lots of dishes, preparation to make jam in progress. I’m grateful for enough space to air dry this loads of laundry in the summer heat.
I’m grateful for food in the fridge, hot showers, my solar plant, my reliable car, tap water, petfun, my still tempered house, my comfy bed. I’m grateful for my life as it is :folded_hands: ODAAT
