Gratitude before Summer Solstice :folded_hands:

Today I’m grateful it’s again time to let go, to burn the old, heavy, hards, to invite light into my heart and soul, to give wishes and let gos to the universe. Whatever I’ll do, I will enjoy it and celebrate.

Besides this I’m grateful for a productive morning and an afternoon nap. I’m grateful I’m up before sunrise and it’s ok to be done by early afternoon.
I’m grateful I finished a book I started reading long ago for the second time. I’m grateful for reminders and insights I found there.

I’m grateful for pimped freezer pizza, my will to cook was not existant today.
I’m grateful I picked up soilbags, more tomato plants on the balcony, I’m fed up with the fucking weed on the field, I have to rototill one row again. Grateful I had brains and nothing planted there up to now.
I’m grateful for a cuddly, funny dog, a snuggling purring Misdi cat and a pet-willing, brush-willing red furball. Love my zoo :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I’m grateful the boarding kennel confirmed my request to take the dog on the submitted dates. I’m grateful I will be able to go on my annual fasting week in december and attend my sister’s wedding without headache or worries.

I’m grateful for rest, for the air condition, for fresh water, showers, pillows, blankies, Missi on my foot, tea, yoghurt, nuts, washers and cleaners of all kinds, that I have enough petfood at home, my comfy bed. Oh boy would I like to go to bed now. But naaaaa, the dog and his evening round after dinner to do a poo. Enervates me every day. Me - evening - sleep. Not outside. Well, I wanted a dog. So it is evening walks.

  • the professionals who work with me and do quality work; the quality of what they do makes it easy for me to excel in the quality of what I do
  • air conditioning (the next few days are going to be very hot)
  • my daily check-ins with my wife - we do one at the end of each day, and I’m grateful to be able to nurture our relationship like this :innocent:

I’m grateful for my sobriety. 481 days without any mind altering substance or alcohol. It’s almost unreal to even say that number.
I’m grateful that today I realize most of my fears and anxieties are not real and they have nothing to do with anything in the moment. So I try to stay in today.
I’m grateful for my mom and dad and also my brother. I’m grateful for all of my family members.
I’m grateful for my friends and coworkers.
I’m grateful for my sponsor who has 10 years sober and continues to stay dedicated to recovery and helping others.
I’m grateful for my apartment and all of the comforts of home.
I’m grateful that it’s summer and in the 90s. I don’t like cold weather anymore. I’m even grateful for this rainy season. It’s funny because in Florida there’s no point in even watching the weather. Mother nature makes It’s own random choices.
I’m grateful for my bike and my skateboard which really helps with my anxiety and is my favorite things to do in my free time- exercise
I’m grateful to have options, goals, plans.
I’m grateful that recovery has been actually really easy. I’m not saying I don’t have issues or bad moments. But I do not have bad complete days.

I’m not homeless, I’m not in the hospital , I’m not in jail or prison!!!

Life is good :smiling_face_with_sunglasses::sun_with_face::sun:
