Tuesday gratitude.

Today I’m grateful I ordered new glasses. Yes, again. Seems I just ordered new glasses but it was 2 years ago and what can I say … getting old is shitty and expensive. Beware of 50+ :roll_eyes:
I’m grateful I still can afford such extras but boy have I bleeded financially this year. I’m grateful it’s just money. And I’m free of my ex for which I’m grateful.

I’m grateful moving the cats back to the farm went smooth. Business as usual, so to say. I’m grateful for patience and routines. I’m grateful the living room already heated up to a cozy temperature and the rest of the house will reach it tomorrow. I’m grateful for good planning and adulting. I’m grateful there’s enough time to prepare for the surgery. Firewood must be stocked up and everything prepared for not using my right hand working for weeks. That’s a lot to think about in advance. Better tape my hand now and see what daily problems occur. The joy of being single and living alone :roll_eyes: I’m grateful for neighbours and friends who will help out if I need help. If. Not when. For me this difference is important, it’s a mindset and I’m still working on asking for help and support.

This gratitude post got completely derailed, I forgot what I wanted to write when I started.
I’m grateful that I’m lounging on the couch, half asleep, and will go to bed soon. Tomorrow is another day, today was a good day. ODAAT :pray:

I watched Muppet Christmas Carol last night. Yes I sang along. I can recite most of the dialog too.

Grateful that today my desire not to do work that I will dislike is strong.
After a good night’s sleep in a long time, I am facing more appropriate decisions when it comes to work. I keep seeking for lower and lower payments, which are often easier to get.
Grateful that I know today reaching out to all my recruiting friends matters. I have yet to do so.
I am also filling out my appeal to disability. Grateful that I have a lot of things I plan to do today. Grateful that most days, I feel stronger again.
Grateful for cooking a chicken, turmeric, and ginger soup that I came across online.
Grateful for a stuffed pork loin last night. I didn’t take any pictures but took one of my salad. :slight_smile:
Have a great day. I am going to do some shit!

I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I sensed when it became too much today in the office and said I had to leave as the clown came out. I would then only continue to talk and answer emails that will be stored for a very very long time.
I am grateful I still got some work done today.
I am grateful for the old lady I saw on my way home who looked into the sky and smiled seeing the blue sky. I smiled at her.
I am grateful my brother just called to check in on me.
I am glad tomorrow is my last day at work this year. I am grateful the holidays are well put this year and also 2025.

:purple_heart: I am so very grateful for my family. My brother is taking me to another pre-screening tonight. Super excited about it as this movie is on my want to watch list.

:purple_heart: I am so very grateful for my hot delicious cup of coffee warming my bones and giving me energy right now. Going to be a long afternoon / night. So very grateful that I don’t do these things drunk anymore. Grateful for some sense (may be late in coming but I am working on a better safer path ahead)
:purple_heart: I am so very grateful for my Higher Power. Seriously showing me all these stories about people healing from some serious shit and I have faith that I will heal too.

I do love my bed but I am happy to only use it for sleeping at night.
:purple_heart: I am so very grateful for some deep stretching. It may hurt but it also feels like i’m releasing something. Feeling rejuvinated.

:purple_heart: I am so very grateful for this community. So very grateful to have found the app and opened the community portion. So very grateful for all the love and support. :hugs:
:purple_heart: I am so very grateful for my walking pad. I am still learning its quirks but am so grateful for getting a proper walk indoors. It is super intense and is pushing me past my limits which is amazing to see.
