Hugs to all of you who struggle and/or have a hard time. Sending kindness and healing vibes
Today I’m grateful all appointments went well. I’m grateful the furnace has a new fan, the old boy got fluids, vitamins and pain meds as he seems to be in some kind of pain since the last seizure. I’m grateful I learned how to handle the dumper. I need a lot of practice driving it, the handling is easy but driving … not so. I’m grateful I have a lot of space where I can practice on my farm. My. Farm. Grateful this feeling starts to settle and shine.
I’m grateful the tractor was taken to inspection.
I’m grateful I finished planting sedum on the dry stone wall. It looks cute.
I’m grateful for a long talk with a friend who opened my mind about something I’ve been really stuck for quite a while. I’m grateful I can start thinking about it differently and this feels a lot better. Feels I’ll come up with a plan soon. Grateful for friends and their input & perspectives
I’m grateful for my warm, cozy house, for food and tea, for comfort and safety, for having a restful afternoon, for time to think and read up on some stuff, for short, foggy days lightened by a fire in the stove, for bread and cheese, for catlove, for freedom. I’m deeply grateful for freedom. I love my farm, my cats, my friends, I’m surrounded by so much good, I’m grateful for all my blessings. I’m grateful I honor my beautiful life by doing my best and taking good care of me. ODAAT
I’m not feeling like it, but I think I should write something about being grateful today. Well, today I’m grateful I have a flat. I was homeless for few months some time ago and it was pretty rough. I’m grateful that I have food and water. I’m grateful that I have goals in my life, something to dream about. I’m grateful that I’m sober and ready to battle this terrible disease. I’m grateful I have a solid relationship with God. I’m grateful I’m alive. ODAAT.
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I went to therapy. Still not sure if I qualify for it. I need to work on not letting the entertainment clown always in these situations.
The clown was out all day.
I am grateful I have enough food in the fridge.
I am grateful I can go to work. Being alone all day is definitely something I wouldn’t enjoy in the long run.
I am grateful I have enough.
I am grateful I listened to some new podcast in the gym and was laughing a lot. I am grateful that most of the time I don’t care what people think of me there.
@erntedank Sending love to your old boy - hope the meds help and he’s not in too much pain
@mrmoustache Grate to see you posting gratitude! It really does start helping change the mindset and is the most helpful when we really don’t eel like doing it. You are doing great David – ODAAT!
A bit more gratefulness for the day – Grateful the people that wanted the bed set showed up this morning. So many false starts and scammers on FB marketplace. Grateful for not giving up on hope and just going with the flow - I went to enjoy a cup of coffee with parents and was there in case they showed up - which they did I was unable to sleep during the day as they were again working on the siding next door (i feel like this is not a 5+ week project but then again not my expertise). Grateful that I took my sleepy butt out for a walk Grateful for my quiet time with music. It helped me get through some blah moments today. Grateful for my brothers help in getting some applications completed. I was having some trouble concentrating. Grateful for patience and gong slow. One step at a time Grateful that I am tired and sleepy and hope that I will get some shut eye tonight (ok if I don’t) Grateful for just being in the moment. I did not cry but feel this overwhelming feeling like I need a release. i am sure it will come when its time. I am grateful that I am not afraid of crying anymore. I do know how cathartic it is
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day / evening - sending you all so much love
I am grateful tonight
My bed
My dog
My husband
My cat
My car
My food
My AA program, sponsor and home group
My connection to God even when I feel weary from doing his will
I am grateful that I have gratitude
Grateful and hopeful @GOKU2019 knows I was only joking and trying to bring humor to the post
I am grateful for my warm and cozy home, delicious breakfast and soothing music from the kitchen radio. I am grateful for my upcoming holiday and the opportunity to step out of world politics for a while.
I am grateful the people I love are healthy (mostly), happy (today) and close by (somewhat). I am grateful for the kids in my life and to see them blooming and strive. I am grateful to be reminded of what’s important in the long run. Forever grateful for this place to come to and find and leave some gratitude. It always helps.
Grateful for My airfryer The little sleep I did get The 9pm meeting last night - great shares Waking up without a hangover Everyone here, keeping me motivated and inspired to keep on.
I’m grateful for Talking Sober I’m grateful for you all. I’m grateful when my morning coffee cat and meditation doesn’t work I can come here. Well not here. But to some of the fun threads like “The Coffee Shop.” And nature pics and selfies and that might be the thing that quiets my mind this morning. I’m grateful this worked this morning. I’m grateful for the gorgeous hike at the beach yesterday. I’m grateful none of it felt like a chore and because of low tide I was able to walk extra far. I’m grateful for the lady I saw with her Border Collie. It reminded me of my George from many pets ago. I’m grateful when we passed by each other the second time I thanked her for that. Grateful we chatted briefly about Border Collies. I’m grateful for my lovely memories of George. Except for the broken ankle part. But that wasn’t his fault. I’m grateful when George cocked his head to the side with his crooked white stipe down his black nose he immediately owned me. I’m grateful I was told 3 other owners had brought him back. And it was ok for me to bring him back if it didn’t work out. Fuck that! I’m grateful for his 14 years of love even when he was a pain in the ass. I’m grateful I should get my car back today. I’m grateful I get therapy and an Al-Anon meeting today. And fuck. A chiropractor too. I’m grateful I better get walkin. I’m grateful C’MON Burner!
I’m grateful I’m still rereading this:
Living These Days by Richard Burr
When the mind doesn’t know things, it tends to fill the vacuum by spinning scenarios of things that could be possible. It seems predicting potentially awful events, is even more preferable to not knowing, or reminders that we are not in control.
If being with the truth is what brings peace, then the thing to do is relax into the not-knowing, to understand what is beyond our control.
Wednesday gratitude. Where did the last two days go? Time flies when the days are full & busy.
Today I’m grateful the pain meds seem to work, my old boy seems more relaxed, moves around more and is less nervous. Thank you @JazzyS for your vibes, I handed them over with lots of pets. Please feel purred at
So much to be grateful for today …
Cleaning. I cleaned some long neglected spots & tools today and feel better.
The wood-fired kitchen stove. The warmth is so cozy.
Things falling into place. I decided that it’s time to change my car’s licence plate as the farm is located in another political district than the townhouse. The official & visible committment that I have come to stay I’m grateful it’s easy to change and the digital toll is easy to switch.
The new furnace fan working perfectly.
Leftovers, microwaves and dishwashers. I would be lost without modern amenities.
I’m grateful for being a good girl and doing the office work
Woke up deranged and confused by weird dreams but I was well rested and had a nice day
Back to basics when I start feeling low: babysteps, kindness, HALT, pause, fresh air, a nice phonecall, doing instead of thinking. I’m grateful we all can always go back to basics
I’m grateful I feel like a happy, busy little weirdo today. Just puttering around the house on whatever called me
my work; I found a significant problem in my game prototype and spend my time figuring out how to solve it; I love solving these kinds of problems, love how my brain just rolls with it. It‘s like a happy squieky pig rolling in mud.
my brain actually working and me being able to tackle my design and mathematical problem
my ex taking care of my mother’s computer related problems; I so can‘t communicate skillfully with her about that; we both can‘t and just fall back into destructive patterns; after one hour of just being pissed like hell, I gave up; she falls into that helpless person behaviour and I get so triggered by that attitude, I can‘t concentrate on the problem at hand
a fantastical yoga session. It‘s been a while I did a more taxing one and this was just what I needed. Haven‘t felt so relaxed and grounded in a very long time.
Grateful for sobriety
Grateful to be busy
Grateful for son studying by myself
Grateful for daughter chatting to me
Grateful for mindful eating
Grateful for at least autumn like weather
@Dazercat so fun to joke with. @JazzyS so great to share the day with
I am learning to think before I speak (slowly but surely)
Rain
Internet
No fear of what tomorrow will bring
No complaining today!
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful my bloodwork came back as normal.
I am grateful I slept well.
I am grateful for the advancements of diabetes management over the last decades. Remembering from the beginning.
I am grateful that I missed the bus as this one is less packed with students and kids.
I am grateful of a memory that popped up: my grandmother and me missing a bus to go to our family’s garden while sitting backwards to the street talking to each other
I am grateful I have good memories of her.
I am grateful she gave me a feeling of being okay and still making some Hmmm, well, okay notions.
I am grateful I have enough.
I am grateful Frederick Banting discovered insulin today some years ago. Saved many people’s lives.
I am grateful I don’t have any secondary diseases after 27 years.
I am grateful my colleagues bear me as I am unbearable lately. Like some energised flummi (bouncy ball).
I am grateful for a great play at the theater yesterday. It was good to be reminded that narcists suffer too while they leave a trail of destruction.
I am grateful I get to work from home today. Rain, fog, unpleasant 5 C November weather out there. Cinnemon rolls, tea/coffee and cozy wool socks over here
I am grateful for this “not social” day. Once every few days fills up this introverts cup. I am grateful I made my peace with it and I don’t have to try to be different anymore.
I am grateful for this feel good series I discovered. It’s about teachers at an elementary school. The characters are really kind and conversations are tender and respectful. I like to watch this. In my darkest days I watched mostly horror and dystopian movies. I think I wanted to make myself feel ready to take on, whatever comes my way. (Not sure, if I truly expected zombies, ghosts and chainsaw murderers coming my way, but I know now not to go after the creepy sound in the basement ). It was a grim battle mode I was in. I see that now. It’s more fruitful to prepare for love and kindness kocking at my door and embrace it. It has been the greater challenge for sure, but also more rewarding. Forever grateful for this journey, only made possible the moment I put down the bottle.
Wishing you a splendid day, grati-people
