Good morning to all of you. Not only is is an early Saturday morning in January, it’s my 60th birthday today!
I’m grateful to be sober and healthy and safe and happy.
I’m grateful to be working on myself and to be seeing progress in my patience with others and myself, my learning to calm down, and my awareness of how amazing life really is. I’m grateful to be recovering and growing.
I’m grateful that I have visiting family for this special day. I’m grateful to see my sons and my brother. I’m grateful that I got to spend time with my sister. I’m grateful for adorable little dress I have for the get together that is planned for later today.
I’m grateful to be alive and free of the control that so many things had on my life over the years. I’m grateful to be free of the cycle of addiction to alcohol and I attend to my recovery every day so that it never comes back to me. Three years and two months of sobriety have been a gift.
I’m grateful to be living a calmer and gentler lifestyle than ever before.
I’m grateful for my marriage and all that we have learned and done together.
I’m grateful for a career that has helped me care for my family while enjoying the feeling of having purpose in my life.
I’m grateful to be entering the final chapters of my career and that I get to focus on the work I really enjoy and engage in the craft of teaching more than ever.
I’m grateful to live in a safe and cozy home with books and coffee and music and pets and good food and my hubby. I’m grateful to live near the library and the bike trail and the park and the beach. I’m grateful to live near my sister. I’m grateful to have a garden and a yard and a little money in the bank. I’m grateful that I appreciate this and no longer feel that I have to chase achievement. My safe little home and my daily life of love and work and rest is the greatest achievement of my life and I appreciate it every day.
I’m grateful that I am learning to care for the little girl who is still inside me and wants to be safe and loved. She is still seeking safety and peace and I am making sure she has that. One day at a time.
I wish for another day of peace for us all.

Happy birthday @LAB 
Your post is wonderful, I love it, it echoes in me as I’m also grateful for most of what you mentioned 
Early saturday gratitude as I will go for dinner with friends in the evening. Grateful for friends, connection, the opportunity to meet for a lovely dinner at our favourite indian restaurant. Grateful I don’t have to worry if I can afford it, grateful an occacional dinner out is always within my budget.
I’m grateful for my cats on me, beside me, purring, snuggling. Beloved fluffballs 🩷
I’m grateful I vacuumed and steam mopped the floors. Prepared for not being able to do much cleaning for 2 or more weeks.
I’m grateful I disposed some dead plants at the dead wood pile, I even tried to move a huge dead branch there and it worked! Grateful for my green wonderwuzzi
I’m grateful I texted my ex birthday wishes and he responded nicely. A nice surprise as he normally doesn’t text back.
I’m grateful I had coffee with a neighbour. I’m grateful her husband recovers super very good from cancer surgery (no chemo needed) and will be back home on tuesday People, care for your health and do a yearly checkup. He was diagnosed at a routine check up and is now healthy again after 3 months. Catch it early, save your life.
I’m grateful for a long talk with my plant-friend. Double grateful they were not injured when their car was hit by some phone-fumbling distracted driver. Grateful for heavy, safe cars
I’m grateful for sunshine today, I enjoy it. I’m grateful for rest and naps, I need it. I’m grateful for my cozy home, all kinds of washers, the kitchen stove, tea, sandwiches, modern amenities, restful sleep, peace of heart & mind, quiet, warmth inside - chill outside. I’m grateful I’m doing my best, working on me and a good life, being kind, growling when it’s necessary, protecting my peace, learning to detach and let go. I’m grateful I have the feeling that I grow as a person in a good, balanced, stable way. Grateful for reflecting and boundaries, opening up and trying new things. I’m deeply grateful I’m content and appreciate the life I live very much. Lots of good vibes
The list could go on but I’ll leave it for now. Tomorrow is another day to be grateful & sober. ODAAT

Today I’m grateful for:
- egg whites in cartons (no yolks, just the egg whites): a simple way to increase my protein without worrying about fat or cholesterol
- vegetables with breakfast (chopped up with some eggs and egg whites, yum
) - cats purring (whatever it is that makes cats purr and makes it so soothing, I’m grateful for that)

Contentment. It’s vibrations on their hyoid bone. They learn it as kittens when they are happy, want attention or as a signal to mum where they are. It’s beautiful, the best sound ever

Grateful:
Though I have been in and out of sobriety for three decades, I am further than ever before. Perhaps it took a major incident to bring me there. It doesn’t matter if I know. It matters that I choose.
My intelligence. Often it makes things more difficult thinking in and about things too much. This brain though, allows me to know that I can use it - properly and have the ability not too. Knowledge matters.
Books I have read and a desire to restart.
My storage, which has a lot of my life in it. Desire to find a way to get it back. Money, housing, purpose.

Sunday gratitude.
Today I’m grateful I’m always up early. I caught the sunrise and the one hour of beautiful sunshine of today! Nature covered with white frost. A landscape like in a fairy tale. I’m grateful I’m able to be amazed by the beauty of nature. So many people don’t see and care.
I’m grateful I walked around the farm taking pictures for an hour in the crisp, cold air. This is my notion of life 🩷 Not the horribly hot summer terror.
I’m grateful I fired the furnace yesterday evening when I came home. It is really cold and I sometimes overlook that the bedroom gets too cool when I forget to fire the central heating. I’m grateful I learn. I’m grateful I did not forget today, the buffers should be hot by now.
I’m grateful for catlove.
I’m grateful I called my ex, we had a nice talk and I told him it’s up to him to stay in contact. I won’t call him anymore. Now it’s up to me to stick to my healthy inner boundary and not self-sabotage. There’s lotsa work waiting 
I’m grateful it’s ok to be tired of working on myself. I’m grateful I’ll do it because it is necessary for a good, free and peaceful life.
I’m grateful for pet stories. Listening to pet stories never gets old for me.
I’m grateful the fog set in while I vacuumed & mopped (no deja-vu, yes today again). So the rest of the day is indoor, couch, nap, read, silent, peaceful and content. I’m grateful for my life as it is. No complaints. The universe will take care of what is too much for me, I take care of what I can handle. I’m grateful my inner peace was only little impacted by the ex-call. and some research I did in the morning. Oh there will be a huge increase in costs this year but I’ll wait, prepare and see how to handle the situation when it’s there.
I’m grateful I can have icecream when I want some. Grateful for freedom, peace of mind & heart, friends, best wishes, firewood …
Nap approaching. Fall asleep. ODAAT

I’m grateful we pulled off a beautiful 2 year old party hosted at my house with about 20 strangers plus a few people we did know.
I’m grateful it was a 
sober party. All the in-laws friends and family are in or have many many years of recovery.
I’m grateful I can feel and notice how much easier it is to socialize when I’m sober. And hell, when everyone is sober.
I’m grateful the party planning on my end and worrying about having power and fires and wind are over.
I’m grateful I still have a home that they can shut power off to it tomorrow when the winds pic up again.
I’m grateful for the notices by email from the SCE telling us what’s going on. They are not always accurate but they are doing the best they can.
I’m grateful I’m still alone in the quiet house. Everyone must be exhausted.
