I’m grateful for another sober hangover free morning. Coffee and mantra music, and Benson on the couch with me.
I’m grateful I journaled this morning. It’s been one week since my last entry. That’s ok. I’m grateful I didn’t get down on myself about it. I’m grateful I added journaling to my morning recovery routine and do it when I do it.
I’m grateful my morning routine is changeable and not as rigorous as it use to be.
I’m grateful for the wrought iron arched trellis across the way and its pink roses blooming. I’m grateful for all the white roses around here. I’m grateful I get to live 10 minutes from the Pacific Ocean over here. I’m grateful this area is still so new to me and I get to go out and explore it by myself.
I’m grateful I now love going out exploring by myself. I’m grateful the wife would rather sleep in or stay home and get things done around here. I’m grateful for all the chores she does around the house. I’m grateful I get my shit done too. I’m grateful our chores are different and there’s nothing to compare.
I’m still grateful for “to compare is to despair.”
I’m grateful we get to clean up and go home today.
I’m grateful the lights are always on and welcoming here.

I am grateful that I can experience emotions in my body. I am grateful for my creative work. I am grateful for my marriage. I am grateful for love. I am grateful for being able to give love. I am grateful for this day.

I’m grateful my family didn’t complain and just ate the chicken breasts I overcooked for dinner tonight (oops)
I’m grateful for the garden is a looking more and more hopeful everyday now . I swear this has been the longest winter ever.
I’m grateful I have ate healthy the past 2 days straight. I never had such a problem with sugary foods and potato chips before I got sober. I know it’s still better than the alternative though at the moment
Im grateful I’ll be going to bed sober so I can do it all again tomorrow

Incredibly grateful to work with so many wonderful, passionate, curious people through our work partnerships. We had a very bad fuckup and instead of playing the blame game we came together to discuss all the little things that went wrong and do more planning in the future. Grateful that everyone still wants to work together.
Grateful for beavers
Grateful for gardening!!! Grateful I have enough income now to buy myself garden toys.
Grateful for the surprise bulbs that keep popping up from the previous owners.
Grateful for birds and bees and fire and water and control and randomness.
I’m grateful Benson’s bronchial scope is finally over and he’s home this morning and had a great breakfast. I’m grateful we are not dealing with a collapsed trachea. I’m grateful they didn’t see any tumors or anything else really bad. Still waiting on some other results. Grateful it’s probably chronic bronchitis and it’s not transferable. I’m grateful all that is finally over as we been anticipating it for about 6 weeks now.
I’m grateful I got in a good long hike yesterday and a good long stretch on my reformer while he was getting scoped. I’m grateful he was ready at 3 instead of 5-7.
I’m grateful for an early morning and Gus is having soccer practice at the park near my house hopefully I can walk to.
I’m grateful it looks like rain. Bring it!
I’m grateful my psychiatrist called me back and we rescheduled for 2 weeks later.
I’m grateful my coffee was really good this morning.
I’m grateful my SIL is in Vegas and Nana got lots of Gus time yesterday afternoon while I was driving Benson.
I’m grateful we got one hellova week ahead. Or is it just life. I’m grateful life seems really full, exciting, sometimes frightening, gorgeous, beautiful, tiring, sad, joyful, and non stop when you’re sober.
I have been missing in this thread. I am grateful that I think about it every day. I need to continue with more gratitude. I am grateful that even though it’s been hard, I know it’s helpful (and true when I am thinking correctly).
I quit the commission only HR contract. They did not present me with pricing, after close to a month onboard.
Thoughts of self-employment. At this point, why not? I keep being led that way.
Grateful for food I can taste. Grateful for tidbits of cooking smells I have been having. Tidbits matter!
Grateful for you.
Grateful for the person who will message me, “Hey! We haven’t seen you in Daily Gratitude. What’s up?”
I’m grateful all appointments this week went well. I’m grateful I rested when I needed it. I’m grateful I caught up a bit on laundry and chores. Energy is limited these days. I’m grateful for peppermint oil and naps to take off the edge of the dammed weather induced headaches (gratefully no migraine) and dizzyness. I fucking hate spring.
I’m grateful I contacted a dog training facility with a good reputation as my dog trainer recommended. We reach limits, mostly my physical limits to keep an attacking 55 kg dog under control in more than 10 repeated situations. Training the dog for well behaved basic social skills in the 1:1 setting at home will continue in addition to the hopefully new approach. I hope to hear from them next week. How can 10 % crappy behaviour make 90 % of the additional work needed? I’m grateful I decided today is a no grumpy, no frustration day, only love & chill. I’m grateful I had bases loaded today, 3 cats on the couch, 1 dog on his bed next to the couch. I’m grateful the old boy came for cuddles and a chest-nap to me. On the sofa. And stayed there I’m grateful Missi doesn’t mind the smell of peppermint oil too much and currently sleeps on my legs. I’m grateful today’s yoga session was scratching the dog with one hand, the old boy with the other hand and Missi with one foot while trying not to fall from the sofa.
I’m grateful I cooked today.
I’m grateful I watched Pope Francis’ funeral on TV. Very touching.
I’m gratefulI knitted a bit.
I’m grateful I killed ticks.
I’m grateful I ordered a warm raincoat, I was freezing in the normal one the last days. I’m grateful I thought about it and can afford the extra expense.
I’m grateful my counsellor brought up something I will think about for a while.
I’m grateful for hot showers, the kitchen stove (chill these days), no grocery shopping needed because the fridge is still stocked, tea in abundance, rubber boots, blankies, my heated pillow, dear friends, a pedicure, icecream from the excellent cafe nearby (selfmade!), nuts (the ones you eat), all the love in my life.
I’ve been feeling quite lonely recently and I’m grateful today it’s a bit better. I need more IRL social connection face to face. I’m grateful everything shall pass. ODAAT
Added gratitude: TLC has Book Club. Since my finances are under water, books are something I can’t buy, unless a thrift-find.
That has only been a thing for 1.5 years. My books can fill a room. They are actually filling a lot of my storage facility. Anyhoo…I had quit Audible (I prefer physical books and it wasn’t worth the $$), I got a message that I can have three months for $.99/mo. Yippee freaking ki yay!
So grateful for this Hope Benson starts to feel better and symptom free soon @EarnIt Great to see you practicing gratitude Love my book collection -I too prefer physical books. @erntedank Big hugs friend IRL social connections are important. Hopefully easier to get out and meet people with the warmer weather @madds OOH I did like that movie. It was twisted for sure. Just watched “It Feeds” last week and thought that was a well done story line.
Saturday gratefulness

Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day / evening - sending you all so much love
I’m grateful Missi doesn’t mind the smell of peppermint oil too much and currently sleeps on my legs. I’m grateful today’s yoga session was scratching the dog with one hand, the old boy with the other hand and Missi with one foot while trying not to fall from the sofa.
