Gratitude on the last monday of 2024.

I confess I had the laziest monday that ever mondayed and Iā€™m grateful for it. Stayed in bed until the cats started to eat me, puttered around the house in slow motion, had some nice calls with friends, fed myself with cheese toast, nuts & tea (too lazy to cook), watched series in the afternoon and will be to bed soon. The cats were funny and lovely today, the weather beautiful and I did enough housework to not be grumpy at myself tomorrow. The couch is comfy, the candles burn and smell, I am relaxed, content, grateful as fuck and miss absolutely nothing. Peace, light and a smile :pray: ODAAT

I had a really peaceful night and am very grateful for that. The morning was ok, and I got through the usual difficulties. I am grateful they didnā€˜t bother me too much today, grateful I know to expect them and how to deal with them.
I am grateful I managed to do some light stuff around the flat, grateful I could feel a bit useful.
I also did some light programming. To be honest it was mostly tinkering around and breaking more than doing anything productive. But I am grateful I could do what I love most and am best at.
I joined a RD meeting in the afternoon. I am grateful for the meeting and grateful I decided to share. It felt good to talk to people. It always does. I am grateful my avoidance tendency lessens with every time I share.
Did some little bit of rowing and yoga later. I am very grateful I could experience my body like that. I love being an embodied entity :grin:
I am grateful for todayā€˜s gratitude practice and my work towards love.
I am grateful for this day, and grateful for this life.

Grateful:

I remind myself of my power and control in my life.
I often share that with other people under great pain. I am aware that itā€™s hard to ignore the advice of someone who has had a crazy year.
Looking forward to two interviews this first week of 2025.
I am capable of self-employment, good at it, and need to remind myself that I do not need others to support me for the rest of my life.
Love Your Brain - big on that and need to connect with those resources more often throughout the day. I want to fundraise for them, because why not?
My kids.
Those crazy dogs.
You.

NYE gratitude. On this tuesday 31st 2024.

Iā€™m grateful for this year. It was intense. A lot came to an end. A lot began. I read a 2 year old post. Still valid. Iā€™m grateful I came a long way. Iā€™m grateful that I am where I am, who I am. That I am.

Iā€™m grateful for my life as it is. Iā€™m grateful me, my cats and my friends are quite well. Iā€™m grateful for everything & everyone that / who left my life. Iā€™m gratefully welcoming the new, the peace, the serenity, the lightness, the clear.

For today Iā€™m grateful for fetching my new glasses, mailing the christmas & new year postcards, buying myself roses, stocking up on firewood, nice chats with neighbours, lovely cats, a warm house, delicious food, interesting series, a smooth and gentle evening.
Thank you 2024 :pray::sunflower:

Grateful that though I woke up in a horrible mood, I have come to a decision that I am bringing forward a dream. I havenā€™t ā€œseenā€ or known a dream for over a year.
Grateful that on this day, formulated by humans, I will use it as a start day for many things that are within my control, within my power and ACTION.

Have a great day.

Gratitude on the 1st day of 2025.

It was a wonderful day, I slept well, ate nice meals, cuddled the cats, had a long nap, did quite some housework and chatted a lot.

Iā€™m grateful for quiet times, beautiful chill mornings, nice neighbours, friends, my cozy farmhouse and the lovely landscape, lovely cats, new linen and cats ā€œhelpingā€ to put it on the bed, modern amenities, a fire in the stove, tea galore, feeling happy, serene, content and peaceful :pray:

Iā€™m grateful for routines, a life that knows no boredom (maybe once a year), for care & cozyness, kindness & humor.
Iā€™m so tired, I must sleep now.
Happy new year :four_leaf_clover::hugs::sparkles:
