my bestie I’m so glad to have her in my life; she gets me, she cares for me, she is fun and she is non-judgemental. I’m really lucky to have a friend like her - she’s a keeper
my job - whilst it’s often hard..I really value and acknowledge what I’ve got and what it means to me.
my car
my family
to have the comforts that are often taken for granted
for a colleague at work who always supports me, listens to me and has a laugh with me all whilst being an amazing example of someone who works hard and has integrity and values
a good night’s sleep
my new sunrise alarm clock - I love waking up to the sound of birds chirping and the ‘sun coming up’, so much better than a jarring alarm noise
I’m grateful I’m up early to get the car down for maintenance at 7:30.
No cat
Coffee
mantra music
Fire in fireplace
Dog on ottoman

Gratitude
I’m grateful I got to my AA meeting yesterday at the bluffs and just listened. I’m grateful it was a good speaker.
I’m grateful I met John and his dog Chica and they accompanied me on my hike down to the beach. That was different. In a good way. I’m grateful for the wonder if I’ll ever see him again as he never goes to that meeting and it was just a coincidence he was there yesterday.
I’m grateful I met Howdy and Howdy’s at lunch yesterday. Nice guy. Nice chat. Excellent sushi burrito
I’m grateful I got my 2 firestick plants planted yesterday. I’m grateful I got a nap in. I’m grateful for leftovers. They taste so good
I’m grateful Jen @Peace mentioned The Producers I forgot I saw that show in London. It was totally mind blowing amazing!! I bet seeing it in New York was excellent too. Not my moms cup a tea though She’s was more old fashion and only into the classics. I can only imagine her face if she sat through that I’m grateful for the love of theatre, especially musicals my mom instilled in me.
I’m grateful I got my gratitude in as I got to get going now.
Gratitude can have such a powerful impact on your life because it engages your brain in a virtuous cycle. Your brain has only so much power to focus its attention. It cannot easily focus on both positive and negative stimuli
I’m grateful for morning walks with the dogs.
I’m grateful I got to watch a colourful sunrise
I’m grateful I have a very needed day home by myself without a shit ton of chores to do

I’m grateful to have all of you here

First so grateful I have caught up reading here.. our sober tribe is growing and so many are posting. I love it.

Grateful 14 months sober yesterday.. no real celebration but I know what an achievement it is.
Grateful I am facing some really hard challenges lately with mostly calm
Grateful when I screamed F**k you at hubby it did not escalate. I may have surprised him because normally I absorb the shittyness.

Grateful I can still drive my crashed car

Grateful I still like that person in the mirror. Yesterdays reflection showed exhausted self and today A lot more sunny.
I’m grateful for so many things At this moment, today, I want to express my gratitude for the fact that we came into this world with our own path, our own direction, and our own goals. Everything around us is merely circumstances that we can use as a compass for our journey toward our goals—or that might lead us astray in one direction or another
Today I’m grateful for:
~Welcoming a change in life instead of dreading it
~Unshakeable faith with that connection to my HP that no matter what happens in life, all is well ~Having that rub off on others I love too
~People that take good care of Gramma when she is sick
~That my immune system has improved enough that I’m not catching the consistent illnesses of everyone around me knocks on wood
~How much my life has changed for the better
~Meditation meetings
~Glorious sunsets
~Getting the gift of knowing and loving myself more than I ever have before
~Progress, not perfection
Grateful for the clothes dryer - sometimes I just don’t feel like hanging out clothes and waiting for them to dry; even better that I can wash & dry my clothes at night and not worry about them being damp
Grateful for convenience food …even though it’s often not too healthy, somedays I’ve just run out of energy (usually because of work) and can’t be bothered cooking
Grateful to be able to save money and use it for travel Grateful that I learnt early on in life to save my $$
I’m grateful I did my journaling today.
I’m grateful like gratitude, once I get journaling I go on and on. Sorry bout that guys I’m grateful they both, gratitude and journaling make me feel good.
I’m grateful the coffee was perfect this morning. I think I have the new machine figured out. 2 double doubles. Should be easy to remember.
I’m grateful I got the maintenance done on my Highlander. I’m grateful Toyota service is the best. I’m grateful I got Benson’s prescription and got his meds yesterday so today I have no must do errands.
I’m grateful wifey is driving to the condo alone and I’m home alone for one night. I’m grateful I’m not already planning at 8:30 am on how I will get trashed while she is gone. I’m grateful I do not believe she will drink while she is gone either. I’m grateful that is not my problem. I’m grateful her sobriety is her sobriety. Frankly I’m grateful handling one sobriety is just plenty for me.
I’m grateful the kids in Dallas texted us and can’t wait to see us. How fucking cool is that I’m grateful we can’t wait to see them either.
I’m grateful when I sober nobody has it as good a me. If I’m drinking? I got fuck all. And a lot of it.
I’m grateful I know I only got one recovery in me. And I’m so grateful to be able to live it with you all.
Tuesday gratitude.
I’m grateful my days are filled with work and joy. I’m grateful I nap when I need rest, it’s a lot at this time of the year. I’m grateful I stay at my pace and don’t try to overdue it. I’m grateful for step by step. I’m grateful I got the first of endless rounds of string trimming done. I went for a full battery charge, that’s nearly 1,5 hours. I’m grateful my fitness increased this much. I remember starting off with 5 minutes last year after COVID. I’ve come a long way by adding up babysteps and minitasks
I’m grateful I listen to my limits. I’m grateful I can loosen boundaries when it’s useful, my boundaries, my learning process. I’m grateful there are no shoulds left in my life anymore. I should … nope. I do, I don’t do, i want, I refuse, I join, I decide later … my life, my farm, my rules. Also my struggles, my loneliness, my consequences of choosing this lifestyle. I’m grateful that my days are filled with happiness, fun, silent smiles and adoring nature too. I chew on the memory that the good sides always came too short in our marriage. I’m grateful that at least I live a good life here at the farm now. Whatever my ex’s life does look like, it cannot be half as lovely as mine. A shame that he prefered beer, denial and refusal of working on himself and us to a happy life together after walking the rocky path of becoming a sober responsible adult. I’m grateful his destructive, negative, loveless energy is no longer lingering around in dusty corners. I’m grateful the dog forces me to clean so much that I clean out all emotional hickups too. Yes, the 3rd anniversary of the big bang is approaching. And I’m still grateful I flipped out, I’m still uncertain if I would have survived if not. I was over the edge of exhaustion depression then, right heading into suicidal emotional burnout. Fuck codependency, by the way.
I’m not sure where this post went as I stopped twice and continued later. I’m grateful that’s ok ODAAT
I am grateful the gardening season is about to start and I will be diving into digging and planting and plucking and harvesting once again. Unthinkable a few years back.
I am grateful for this surprising little moment when I ran into my area representative, just on my walk home. I live in a huge city, so this is not trivial. I smiled. He smiled back. I felt represented.
I am grateful for the excessive sweetness of baklava. Whoever came up with creating these knew how to make this sweettooth here happy.
I am grateful for my body, which heals and strives and moves me every day. It’s doing a good job, although I can feel it not being as agile as it used to be.
I am grateful for a long weekend coming up with no plans yet. So everything is possible.
Grateful for this place, you people, my homethread and my sobriety. Always.
I’m so glad to have her in my life; she gets me, she cares for me, she is fun and she is non-judgemental. I’m really lucky to have a friend like her - she’s a keeper 
She’s was more old fashion and only into the classics. I can only imagine her face if she sat through that

I’m grateful they both, gratitude and journaling make me feel good.
I’m grateful we can’t wait to see them either.
