Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #8 🪷

Good morning. :sparkles:

This morning I am grateful that I can start at anytime; that just because I haven’t started yet doesnt mean i can’t.

I am grateful for the women who are trickling into my life. Strong, driven women who are spiritually centered. I am grateful that they are my mirrors and help me recognize old belief systems and insecurities. I am grateful that I feel included.

I am grateful for the people who believe in me, and for those who don’t.

Grateful:

No matter how long I have been gone from this thread, I think I should be here each and every day.

I saw an owl in the back yard, sweeping into the front yard. It made me momentarily pleased. In my TLC group, everyone 50+ can join a group called The OWLS (older, wiser, luckiest).

And today, THIS:

Much love, power, peace.

  • for some hours of uninterrupted sleep this night

Wednesday gratitude.
Today I’m grateful for a dog day. I’m grateful I took extra time to cuddle and pet my dog. Now my heart is melting as this big baby makes incredible noises while dreaming. I’m grateful he feels safe and secure to sleep so relaxed. Makes me cry a bit, it reminds me that I used to comfort my ex when he had nightmares. He never remembered but I always woke up when he had a nightmare as long as he used the bedroom. I still remember how it hurt when he chose to sleep in front of the TV on the couch. Many lost years. I’m grateful this sentimental episode will pass, I’m just feeling a bit lonely around my birthday. That’s ok, I keep an eye on it so it doesn’t get too intense. I’m grateful for grieving.

I’m grateful for the nice chat with a neighbour today. Their house is beautiful and their sweet cat joined us on the deck. I’m grateful for all my neighbours.

I’m grateful I proceeded to repot the seedlings. Dang, it’s always more work than expected. I laugh about myself every year :smile:
The house is even messier if this is possible. I’m grateful I laugh about this too. Me, the chaos queen, strikes again! Joke, it’s too much to do in too many spots and all asap. Blablabla, step by step. I’m grateful it’s only my responsibility what gets done and when. I’m grateful I can do as I please and if I don’t nobody cares exept myself.

I’m grateful for food in the fridge, that the massage got cancelled today, parcel delivery, blankies, tea, my brain, my lovely cats & dog, my comfy house, my reliable car. I’m grateful that today I have hope for a good future. Too tired to write more. ODAAT :pray:

Thursday quick check in. Today I’m grateful I made it through the day, the weather gave me a bad headache and dizzyness. It was a lovely day with naps, cuddles and a chimney sweeper appointment at my late mum’s house. Miss my parents and felt a bit lonely there today. Good night, I hope my body is ok tomorrow, this weather impacts suck. ODAAT :pray::sunflower:

Grateful that I know to be grateful.

Grateful I got through my onboarding for a commission only independent contractor role. I will be successful if I don’t let unhappy things battle my ability to succeed.

Grateful for control and a willingness to keep after it.

Awww, thank you @JazzyS , I just saw your post, I was too tired yesterday to catch up! 🩷 :hugs: :pray:

Friday gratitude.
Today I’m grateful I’m in feeling much better, had 8 solid hours of sleep, woke up rested, the headache still comes and goes in less intensity, the dizzyness is gone, I just feel tired very quickly. No wonder, the weather is sun, hot, cold, stormy, calm … April. At least dry, good for me as I can’t keep up with mowing atm, too little energy.

I’m grateful for laughter. My dog snorres like a chainsaw sometimes, it’s so funny. I’m grateful he is a relaxed, happy dog. I’m grateful the cats are getting along and seem to be happy too as long as they get cuddles and balcony time without dog.

I’m grateful the annual certification for organic farming went well. Grateful I was up early and updated the necessary papers. When you have your stuff together it’s no big deal.

I’m grateful I proceeded with plant fumbling, this and that. I’m grateful this year I enjoy it very much again. I need to take new pictures for the gardening thread.

I’m grateful the long drag lines arrived today. My mooncalf is the best-leashed dog on our hill :see_no_evil: Safety first.

I’m grateful I stayed home today, I just didn’t feel like driving to the farmers market. The storm outside is unfriendly. It makes me nervous (beside the headache).

I’m grateful for food in the fridge, a washer which will provide fresh, clean underwear if I don’t forget to run it, that today ME is a caring person and does things tomorrow ME will appreciate despite I’m dead tired.

I’m grateful my chaos will still be here tomorrow, I do the best I can and live at my pace. Not on my A level recently but could be a lot worse, so no complaining.

I switched from couch via dog walk & feeding cats to bed in the meantime and I’m very grateful I made it into my comfy bed very early :pray: ODAAT
