Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #8 šŸŖ·

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:
