Grateful:
Yesterday I reached out to a lady who is huge in a company I loved being involved in. I do love her. She is a magic and caring person AND honest! Pretty sure I will find the start up $$ to be back in that. I was solid there from 2008 to 2023, when so much twisted my life. Grateful ACTION is big in my head. Needy makes me mad.
I actually raised the blinds and let the dogs bark more because I need sun.
The announced to me that I WILL BE a helper in my Luckiest Club. Whoohoo!!!
Steak, mushrooms, onions, sweet potatoes - it was soooo nice.
Four Days until my sonās EOY art show. That makes him a senior. Grateful and teary.
My older kidlet is teaching at the zoo. Rock on, Kiddo!
Full day nicotine free. Much more difficult because I used to gnaw on cinnamon and mint - canāt taste them. Ton of pressure but reality gratefully says my taste will never increase if smoking stays. Just wonāt.
I know things. ![]()
What am I grateful for today?
I am grateful today to live in a country where there is good, healthy food. I am grateful to live in a country where democracy is actually defended.
I am grateful for my friends, I am grateful for the sun and spring.
Iām thankful for the work I was able to do today, the deep dive and the help I had along the way.
I am grateful for all the confusion of life, the chaos, the mess. I am grateful for this day.
I will never catch up here ![]()
Monday gratitude.
Today Iām grateful that I digged through some old posts and found gems. This one had set a reminder for later today. I donāt know what it is, but for sure no coincidence. Whatās something you wish you could have said to pre-sobriety you? - #39 by erntedank
Iām grateful for my pets, love, cuddled and work galore.
Iām hrateful I mowed as much as I could. This weekās forecast: rain. I hate spring, heat, constant rain, hayfever and being outdoor. Iām grateful I love my farm and take good care of it besides that. Iām grateful itās ok to be weird.
Iām grateful for naps, leftovers, my washer/dryer, the holy dishwasher, my handy dyson vacuum, my reliable car, our local grocery store, simple food, blankies, lovely chats with nice neighbours, peppermint oil to ease the headache, raincoats, rubber boots.
Iām grateful Iām kind to myself and others. Iām grateful I can mostly live and work at my pace. Iām grateful the ex disappeared for good, the upcoming anniversary of the initial separation makes me reflecting. And some of these thoughts and memories are far away from friendly. Iām grateful I work on letting go, shooing codependent hickups (those thoughts ARE mostly originated in variations of codependent feelings, patterns, behaviours, āneedsā etc.), being grateful for my life as it is and admitting that I have a hard time keeping the what-ifs and good-times-fantasies out. Iām grateful I keep them out. Not at bay. Iām grateful I draw this hard boundary to protect my softness, vulnerability and fragility. Iām grateful I do not allow the past to mess with my present life Iāve worked for so persevering. The past stays in the past, even when itās my own past. Pasta. ĆƤƤhm ⦠Basta!

Im grateful for central vacuum to keep all this animal hair at bay
Iām grateful to be going to bed sober again tonight
Im very grateful for my life basics today: food, clothes, shelter, furniture, employment, insurance, car, phone, computer, tv, and the ability to pay my bills (for the most part anyway)
Grateful for making new sober friends and the confidence to hand out my phone number to new women.
Grateful for the small joys of sobriety Im starting to see after 2 months: saving money, healthier medical labs, the ability to be present when im needed no matter when that is. I have more āfree timeā to do things I actually want to do, and remember making plans with people. I remember everything (okay, most things) that happen and dont have to pretend like I remember what someone is talking about later. When i get sick, feel extra tired, or have an emotional reaction I know thats how im actually feeling and its not alcohol related. I can tell my doctor my true symptoms without worrying in the back of my mind that its really alcohol. When i call in sick to work or cancel plans i dont feel guilty because I was actually still drunk/hungover.
A lot of what I mentioned above really gets down to honesty. Im grateful im learning how to be more honest and that Im capable of it now.
Grateful for a lot of great experiences in AA meetings recently, hearing a lot of things that I know I perfectly need to hear.
Grateful to my Higher Power for everything ![]()

Taste and smell will come - I have decided.
I talked with one of the most powerful direct sales company people yesterday. I am not sure if I said that. I love her and she is so kind and understanding of all things. Itās odd to know we differ politically and spiritually but sheās that person who lives within herself and doesnāt ask other people to believe as she believes.
Apples and Peanut Butter
You. Me. Here.

What am I grateful for today?
I am grateful for chatting with my friends, for sitting in the sunshine, for reading, for thinking.
I am so grateful for my work, working on prototypes, developing. After yesterdayās tidying up, I feel this creative leap again, this new step, that things that were bogged down before are finally clear again. I am very grateful for that.
I am grateful for the here and now and for today.
