LOL I love this! Grateful you are getting this time with him and that he is supported and surrounded by so much love! You two are great parents. Sending hugs to your precious boy! @tailee a sweet looking coop. So awesome that you already got the strawberries planted. Really does feel like spring is getting closer Poor bear Can always count on you for a good laugh @cjp Grateful for sobriety. Glad you were able to order and deliver that drink and not feel tempted enough to take a drink. You rock on with those sober muscles! @one4theroad Grateful you are ok and that you survived the fall. That ice is so fucking evil! I hate when it hides under the snow or creates black ice spots and blindsides you. Take care of your knees
A beautiful day to practice gratitude
I am so very grateful for this beautiful day of being alive! Grateful for clean breath in my lungs (not hacking or coughing or wheezing). Grateful for limbs that move and work. I am so very grateful for healthy food. So very grateful for having time to cook healthy meals. I am so very grateful for a comfy home and bed. Grateful for not having to shovel. Grateful that the snow came in shifts which allowed for clearing of streets in between so it is easy to maneuver in the streets. I am so very grateful for having the energy and ability to make a delivery today so my brother could sleep in. I am so very grateful for my family and friends. Grateful that I reached out to a good friend today to find his last month has been hell. Loss of a sister, a uncle and his 14 year old dog. That is a LOT of unexpected loss in such a short time. Grateful that I am feeling better and hopefully can be there for him. I am so very grateful for coffee. Grateful for the comfort it provides I am so very grateful that my thumb is now healing (sliced it bad last month and it is now looking like a thumb again LOL). Just in time to slice my finger Grateful that I have a makeshift bandage with hair elastic that keeps my finger covered as the bandages were not staying on. I am so very grateful for uplifting jazz music – today was a good day for tunes and no words I am so very grateful for my Higher Power. Grateful for my faith. Grateful that my body and mind are continuing to heal. I am so very grateful for this place and all of you. Grateful that I have my laptop to still connect with the forum through when my phone acts up.

Checking in before I fall asleep again Life is busy atm, the cats are in spring mood and neeeedy from dusk till dawn (and sometimes during the night), I pull my lazy brain & body out of hibernation mode like a dray horse
My life is really busy atm with things I love to do. I’m deeply grateful I follow my heart, do the best I can and abstain from overdoing, overthinking and mostly from overeating Progress, not perfection.
The weather is February-like for the first time in years? more than a decade? I’m grateful for cold, freezy winter weather, we got even a bit of snow at last! I’m outside a lot to fill my tank for surving the summer heat.
I’m super grateful I stocked up on firewood last week, I need it now. Thanks to my healing thumb, the scar and some minor handicaps need more therapy but all in all I’m super happy with the outcome
I’m grateful for unconventional ways to approach a problem. Grateful that my brain slowly and sluggishly crawls out of hibernation mode. 'Tis finally the week to change into working normal mode and so far the output is satisfying.
I’m grateful the dining table is at the farm. Boy I missed that furniture. Grateful I took the time to unmount, transport and remount it last week. Grateful for my big, reliable car.
I got notice about the cost of the A/C and took care that the money will be available when mounted.
I gratefully proceeded with sorting the filing, so many subjects closed
I’m grateful for every day with my cats, especially my yodeling old boy who loves to sleep on me and get petted on my chest. There is so much love and purring these days, it’s heartwarming and wonderful
I’m grateful for modern amenities, a warm cozy house, yummi food, clean cloth, friends, connection, hot tea & hot showers, knitting, series, seedlings, handcreme and bodylotion, warm feet, lots of pillows to lie comfy, … I could go on and on

I’m so fucking grateful my wife is sober and in the game strong as I need her to be.
I’m grateful my daughter needed us on no notice yesterday. Had to take her cat to the vet unexpectedly. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree Anyway… grateful I could drop sober wife over there to baby sit while I came home to feed and take care of chemo cat. That shit never would happen if she was still drinking. I’m grateful I got to think that. A LOT. I’m grateful I never thought it out loud to my wife. I’m grateful I can realize that would just be putting shame on all the work she has done to be sober 100 ODAATs.
I’m grateful for the birdsong.
