Tuesday evening gratitude.
I’m grateful for rest, for my life as it is, for recovering from the fall 9 days ago (foot still hurts), for meds helping my physical and mental health.
I’m grateful my big dog accomodates to slow days and snorrs. I’m grateful I got to wash my old boy’s face today, his fur was clotted from all the liquid snacks and high calorie paste I gave him. I’m grateful he seems to recover, being ill at old age is hard. I’m grateful that I live a life where I can take good care of my pets, especially when it gets time consuming. I’m grateful I can manage my life ODAAT
Grateful I survived road trip yesterday only to find out this morning my rear tire was ready to blow out
Grateful I made it to where I was going drove really slow for an hour. Should have stopped and investigated but forged on. Grateful could get new tires this morning before heading home
Grateful to an almost perfect time with hubby
Grateful hubby seems to be actually sick and not allergic to me. He started sneezing after lovely dinner last night and of course blamed it on me.
Grateful today he called and said that he was glad it wasn’t me.
Grateful to an amazing friend who cared for chickens and Woody while I was away
Grateful my healthy exercise and diet are being maintained and meeting my goals
I am grateful Mike’s Hard Lemonade in Hubby’s fridge did not trigger me although I did always enjoy one now and then but never my Drink of Choice
Today I am grateful for:
~Naps
~Being ok not feeling my best
~Heating pads
~Foot soaks
~Soaking in the sun
~A fast moving week
~Sponsor chats
~Friendship & love
~Knowing I’m never truly in it alone
~Waking up to cuddles daily
~Opening my eyes to begin a new day
~God
~Another day sober. My worst day sober is always FAR better than my best day drinking was.
Wednesday afternoon gratitude.
I’m grateful to sit on the balcony in the shadow, it’s hot and I’m not feeling like doing anything outdoor allthough a lot of mowing is due.
I’m grateful I noticed litter issues again on my old boy and will start antibiotics again as I go inside. Grateful I have a vet appointment every day this week so it’s just this one pill and tomorrow a shot. Poor furball. I’m worried. I’m grateful for every day I have him. I know his clock is ticking. When it’s time he will go with all my love and be welcomed by souls who love him dearly. 19 years is a very old age, I’m grateful I never overmedicalize my old pets, they are allowed to go without suffering when the time comes. Thank you for this outlet, it helps me to put my thoughts down here.
I’m grateful my life is mainly filled with petchores and farmwork, both make my heart smile and my soul bloom. I’m grateful for my wonderful life, the peace, the reclusivness, the opportunity to live at my pace and nobody interfering, stressing or bringing nervous, irritating, destructive energy into my home and my life. I’m grateful my ex left my life for good, the lovely man I miss was gone long ago, drowned in a beerbottle. I don’t miss this ignorant, loveless, destructive, constantly nervous man. I hope my heart will follow some day in not missing what is long gone. When times are straining like now with the worries over my old boy I really miss a partner to lean on. Well, I’m grateful I have friends and pillows. ODAAT

Gratitude this morning

Thank you @tailee17
I’m grateful he is sleeping right now. Gave him a pain pill as I don’t know which antibiotic the vet will give as a shot and you better don’t mix them.
21 years is a very long time to love your cat I feel with you how you missed your furball.
Some additional gratitude for today:
I’m grateful my brain cleans its own fuckups. I completely lost my phone in the afternoon, not a fucking blink of memory where I had put that dammed thing. Yes, in the living room/kitchen for sure. 2 hours later and this big room a lot more tidy and organized it was still missing but I heard it beep. So I went to the office to mail my friend to please call me until I answer the phone
I had put the phone in an empty planter next to the bowl of dogfood I prepared WTF???
So I’m grateful for thinking of other possibilities to reach out for help (thanks brain) and for friends who check their mails regularly in the evening
And I’m grateful I made a chickpea crockpot and have yummi, healthy food for 3 days.
I’m grateful I got the second third of the couch freshly covered and washed the sheet. I’m grateful for this big, monstrous couch (3 people can easily sleep on it). I love it.
I’m grateful the day is over, it was a fine, productive, nice day that filled my cup with out-of-routine things. And I’m grateful my bloodwork came back ok, everything within range exept the usual suspects which are always too high/low.
I’m grateful I go to bed soon, I’m tired like a rock. ODAAT
I love this.. I was cleaning up one day and bagged up some organized stuff and put in a closet… I had the ringer off and thought no I couldn’t have but yep in the closet in the bag there was my phone… I find it difficult to say but yes as the years add up . I tend to be a bit more absent minded but I am fighting it every minute… now where are my car keys?
I’m grateful doggy cuddles in my bed
Im grateful for quiet journaling time with good coffee with it
I’m grateful it finally hot summery weather agin

hugs friend. Sorry to hear about your fur baby. Hoping vet is able to help and beautiful old boy finds some relief
LOL – your story about the phone made me laugh. I have done silly stuff like that many a times and because I leave it on silent it takes forever to find it as I have to be near it for my watch to vibrate with a notification – just hope that the battery doesn’t die while I’m searching for it
YEAH to good blood work results
I am so very grateful for access to an outdoor pool. My parents condo is minutes away and I have access to their pool Grateful that it is hardly ever used in the early morning so I have it all to myself. Grateful they use Bromine instead of Chlorine. I am so very grateful for being able to swim. Grateful for the movement and the help with pain management. I am so very grateful for making it to the gym for a longer swim in the salt water pool. I am so very grateful for coffee. Grateful I have recently tried a medium blend Guatemalan coffee. What an amazing taste. YUM! I am so very grateful for my family and friends I am so very grateful for my Higher Power I am so very grateful for you lovely people. This wonderful space which helps me stay on this sober path. I am so very grateful for finally getting my taxes filed. Now only have two sets left - hopefully tomorrow (submitted all paperwork end of Jan). Not sure what the delay was but grateful for my patience. I am so very grateful for my walking pad and being able to safely walk I am so very grateful for regaining energy and feel like I will be able to help out this Friday with the Pride Festival. Looking forward to it. My favorite festival for sure.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day / evening - sending you all so much love

I’m grateful to be going into our 42nd year of marriage today and we are both sober.
I’m grateful we are both sober.
I’m grateful our house is now cluttered with toys and clothing for our grandchildren. I don’t think we are saving any money on her not drinking but how can you get angry and someone who buys toys and the cutest little outfits for our grandchildren. ……(make it stop )
I’m grateful if that’s the biggest problem I have with my wife.
I’m grateful I enjoy her company in the morning now. We talk to each other.
I’m grateful I have no resentments from the past.
I’m grateful to enjoy what we have each ODAAT.

I’m grateful after I walked by the 3 snails, on I think it was a Calla Lilly, I backtracked and took a pic.
I’m grateful I couldn’t wait to share it with my wife because I knew she’d appreciate it.
I really got to get going Alice.
I’m grateful Alice is 19 this month.
I’m grateful I might just have to sit here a little longer.
