Saturday gratitude.

Today I’m grateful I slept well and slept in. I’m grateful I read carefully through the papers, made a big pot of tea and let it sink that the last visible committment to a life together is gone. Separating finances and mutual property settled. All marks of a once affectionate relationship gone. Exept one piece that still waits to be removed. If you get to know me now I’m single without leftovers from my ex. Just me. And my cats of course. Feels strange after this long long hassle.

I’m grateful for peace of heart & mind, for feeling safe, free, content, for doing my best, for being present.
I’m grateful my lawyer was generous in making his fee a round sum within 7 days due date, far less than I expected. I will be happy to pay it on short notice as I am prepared for it. Case closed.

I’m grateful I was the queen of lazy today. My fucking thumb ached like hell from morning on so I gave him a reason to ache. Fumbled around on my new phone to learn about picture editing. Note to self: Not very talented but ok with basics. Not my favourite waste of time. I’m grateful for the try.

Always grateful for cats, friends, homecooked meals, comfy everything, fire in the stove, tea.
I’m grateful a friend will visit for 2 days and help me a bit with things I can’t do because of this fucking thumb.
I’m gratefully looking forward to the surgery and pray for a good outcome.

I’m grateful I lit candles today to celebrate. Yes, this girl knows how to celebrate good things in life on her own! I’m grateful I’m fine alone and don’t need people around & party to cherish a special event. I’m happy with you folks and my IRL people sending congrats and feeling happy for me. A good meal, special tea, extra catlove, a lazy day, feeling good.

Leaving bags of this kind lazy celebrating vibes here, please help yourself if you like some :shopping::pouch::handbag::sparkles::four_leaf_clover:
ODAAT :pray:

Tomorrow is my 8 month mark. Havent posted in a while but I am still getting so much out of this forum. My live is going though same changes right now, mainly positive and exiting ones and none of it had been possible without sobriety. I am thankful for this, my health, my opportunities and all the people around me.

Grateful for Jesus
I’m grateful for the new friendships that are being created. For my sobriety. I’m able to go out to the bars, listen to live music, watch football, eat my wings, be social, ALL WITHOUT A DRINK!!!
I sit there in a peace and think about the old me and who I was while drinking. Didn’t like him. I’m truly living in the moment now. So grateful for being sober. Cheers :cup_with_straw:

24 Hours A Day January 12

Meditation for the Day
I will say thank you to God for everything, even the seeming trials and worries. I will strive to be grateful and humble. My whole attitude toward the Higher Power will be one of gratitude. I will be glad for the things I have received. I will pass on what God reveals to me. I believe that more truths will flow in, as I go along in the new way of life.

Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may be grateful for the things I have received and do not deserve. I pray that this gratitude will make me truly humble.

Grateful for
Physical pain, it’s knowledge that I am very alive and need to deal with stress in a better way. Clenching my teeth used to be a thing, and now it’s back. Only I can fix that.

Hourly pay, despite anything that makes me ā€œjudgmentalā€ - only I can fix that.

Knowing I can fix things and being aware of the things I can fix AND the things I cannot.

Being present. Being powerful. Being resilient. Choosing wonder over decisiveness.

Much love.

That I am making positive changes this year growing and healing
That I am 10 months sober and getting near to a year!
For my dogs
That I feel peace and hope
For my cozy and warm home

Digging deep for gratitude. Winter depression is getting the best of me lately.

Grateful for a home with heat running water, and electricity even though it doesn’t feel like MY home. Renting has been an extremely tough pill to swallow after giving up my home of 27 years. I was hoping the settlement from hubby’s accident in 2021 would have come in by now. So I never really settled in here. Never decorated the way I want, still have unpacked boxes. Avoid having visitors. But grateful for this stop on our way to our forever home.

Grateful for my job. I have to motivate myself every morning saying over and overā€¦ā€œI get to go to workā€. I had a mental breakdown this week at the office. Feeling overwhelmed and under appreciated. Grateful for a coworker to console me who experienced the same a few months back. Grateful we have each other to lean on. It’s taking a toll on me mentally in my personal life. I just don’t have the financial means to put my mental health above my career at the moment. This too shall pass.

Grateful for my doggo. He’s turning 14 tomorrow. With age comes a lot of complications. It’s sad to watch him decline. His hearing and eyesight get worse by the day. 3am walks are getting to me, especially in this bitter cold :cold_face:. I was too exhausted last night and didn’t get him out until 4:30 which led to an accident in the house. Thankfully it was in the bathroom where I keep wee wee pads, but he missed. :poop: I still bitch and complain even though I know the old boy is losing control. Grateful he’s still with us but only after I clean up the mess. Absolutely no more pets in my future.

Grateful for my ladies AA meeting last night. I didn’t share but I needed to hear everyone else. Grateful for dinner and fellowship after the meeting. It was a great escape from my depression. The laughs were a bonus.

Grateful for my sobriety! Without it, there wouldn’t be a home, job or dog to complain about. :thinking:

I am grateful I could skip those pills today and can expect a normal night.
I am grateful I can call my GP tomorrow first thing in the morning and get a new prescription.
I am grateful my daughterā€˜s migraine lessened significantly after her meds and a long nap.
I am grateful her migraine attacks have decreased significantly over the last months.

Grateful that despite a great desire to drink alcohol last night, while alone, I self-talked for a long time against it, and won.
Grateful that I did show up to the beverage sampling work and didn’t hate it. It did give me ā€œinformationā€ that I need to work my body more often. Standing still for hours has never been my body’s favorite.
Grateful that my oldest child answered me, short answer but a quick answer. I try not to consider what she’s thinking because it’s not helpful to me or to her. :slight_smile:
Grateful to wake up hungry.
Grateful to know that thinking about the future is not helpful because I just don’t know.
Grateful for these dang dogs - the bigger one decided last night that she should sleep with me - on me. Holy monster of major pounds! I have to be grateful for the amount of love they have for me.
And still grateful that I need more time generating gratitude for all the things that matter. I may start a gratitude jar and pop notes in it the minute I think about them.

You.
