I will never catch up here, I miss reading your sharings :hugs:
Again grateful that I made it here, tired.
This monday I’m grateful for 2 cats sleeping on me, dog’s first social interaction with people & other dog was ok-ish, my hormons think they are in charge again to torture me and it will pass. I’m grateful I got some urgent things done, slept well and enough, the household is a mess and I don’t give a fuck, no need to heat today, a good call with a friend I rarely hear from. I’m grateful for my farm, my big cozy house, my reliable car, help, lovely neighbours, peace, freedom, the ability to enjoy the moment and my comfy bed. Nighty night, hugs to you all :people_hugging::pray:

Grateful for my sobriety and all the positive improvements and life changes.
Grateful for my family and my friends and everyone in this community.
Grateful I got to enjoy my day off and it was really nice out almost 90°. I prefer 90° weather over Cold weather any day. The more sun I get the better I feel mentally.
Grateful for my trainer that I recently started working with at the gym I go to or started going to. Grateful he has motivated me to eat only Whole Foods or eat clean for four weeks as a mini challenge. No snacks or junk food.
Grateful for my bike but most likely I’m going to invest in a better bike for a long distance. Biking is probably my best or favorite thing to do in recovery.
Grateful for my job and a really good management team and owner. I consider the owner of my restaurant a mentor and she is helping me tremendously. She always listens to my input or ideas and she can tell I care about the success of the restaurant.
Grateful for my sponsor who really puts things into perspective for me And continues to get me out of my comfort zone.
Grateful for the toy section at target. Grateful I bought some Legos. I also got a remote control car recently. I drive it around my apartment when I have things to Process in my head.
Grateful I am planning a mini vacation to stay with my parents for a few days. They are only a hour away but their house and property is like an oasis. But they worked hard and made the right choices and I’m happy for them. It will be good to spend time with them and catch up and not feel rushed.
Grateful for my higher power which is the universe/mother nature.
Grateful to be OK with my feelings and emotions.

Life is good !! :sunglasses::sun_with_face::sun_with_face:

I’m grateful for flexibility.
I’m grateful we were going to go home tomorrow.
I’m grateful we decided to go home today.
I’m grateful this morning she offered to go home tomorrow as originally planned.
I’m grateful it was no big deal and I dealt with it.
So basically I am grateful I was all set to go home tomorrow which got switched to today last night and switched back to tomorrow this morning. And I’m grateful I don’t give a fuck.

I’m grateful I got my coffee and Benson walk in the hood. I’m grateful I got more coffee and a muffy and I’m ready to head down to the beach. I’m grateful she’s alive! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: It’s 9 am and she’s finally getting up :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: and I got her coffee. I’m grateful She must of needed the sleep.

I’m grateful I can walk that banana oat gf muffin off at the beach.

I’m grateful for beautiful days and flexibility.

I’m grateful it’s 9 now and I’m going to get my muffin butt out the door :upside_down_face:

Tuesday gratitude, today I’m grateful I take it easy and come here before I’m zombie-tired :pray:

Today I’m grateful for a wardrobe full of fresh cloths. I needed to change 3x today due to my period. Fucking bullshit.
I’m grateful for my snorring dog and sleeping cats, a long nap and the weather that invites you to stay inside.
I’m grateful I sorted my finances a bit more. I’m grateful the town gardens got mowed today and I payed for it right away. I’m grateful I decided not to try squeezing this work in my already busy life at the farm and hired the reliable professionals again who have been doing it for the last 3 years. I’m grateful garden and farm work is mostly on schedule this year. I’m grateful I like to replant seedlings, I got a lot to replant, they grew big :blush:

I’m grateful I learned that it’s ok to take it easy, on some days my energy is more limited than on others. I’m grateful I did everything necessary, showered, ate and napped. The replanting is bonus work, as well as doing the dishes and cleaning the sink :pray:

I’m grateful I’ll visit a neighbour tomorrow, I like them and their beautiful cat very much.

I’m grateful I bought myself flowers yesterday, they look nice on the table.
I’m grateful I know that emotional downs are caused by hormones and will pass, it’s not me who is feeling lonely, abandoned and like a complete relationship failure, it’s hormones messing with my brain chemistry. I’m fine, ok and exiting the marriage was the healthiest thing I could do. I’m grateful for my life as it is :pray::pray::pray::pray: I’m grateful my codependent issues are hormone triggered this time, it makes it easy to ignore them and proceed with nice things like a nap or petting cats & dog. I’m grateful I don’t have to deal with people today, I feel reclusive today.

I’m grateful I took time to think and reflect today, I needed it.
Still not able to catch up, so please feel hugged fellow gratipeople :people_hugging::sunflower::hugs: ODAAT

Today I’m grateful for:

-Running! I started couch to 5k five days ago. The first two days were a bit tough but now I look forward to it. Every seven days I squeeze in 3 days of running with plenty of rest in between.

-My lungs! I am forever grateful for that day when I felt like my lungs were struggling. If it wasn’t for that day, I would still be vaping! My lungs are feeling great and I am extremely grateful I can run and do all of the physical exercise I want without worry.

-This app! This app has been a HUGE help in my recovery :heart:

I’m grateful I practice what I preach.

I’m grateful for WhatsApp to share my video with friends.
