I’m grateful for my health. Not so much today as I’m suffering some arch pain. But it’s a grateful reminder how healthy or basically healthy I’ve been for awhile now.
I’m grateful we can laugh that we look like a couple of old creeks limping around the house.
I’m grateful I got to do much, probably too much gardening yesterday and maybe why my foot has acted up.
I’m grateful with rest and ice and stretching these things sometimes go away.
I’m grateful I can hear the trash truck picking up my trash and recycling. I’m grateful I can leave it on the street every Sunday night and someone comes by to dispose of it.
I’m grateful I can cook. I’m grateful the salmon was delicious last night.
I’m grateful I just walked Benson down the cul-de-sac and didn’t over do it this morning.
I’m grateful I’m all caught up on my chores so I can get to stretch my calves and foot etc….
I’m grateful I stopped by for a gratitude adjustment while resting my 🦶
_There are a number of health benefits to regularly practicing gratitude. In Alex Korb’s article, “How Gratitude Shapes your Brain,” he shares how studies have shown that a consistent gratitude practice helps with the following:_
**1. Releasing negative emotions**
**2. Reducing pain**
**3. Improving sleep quality**
**4. Reducing anxiety and depression**

Monday gratitude.
I’m grateful another day is in the box, construction site wise.
I’m grateful the fence removal went ok, I was flashed how they did it. I’m grateful the dog’s enclosure will be finished tomorrow. I’m grateful I don’t move a finger today anymore, mowing where the old fence stood can wait until tomorrow 5.30. My neighbours will kill me 🙈
But it is so fucking hot now, I would just do dumb shit instead of careful mowing.
I’m grateful the paving proceeds, looks fantastic.
I’m grateful for all those professional workers.
I’m grateful for connection and friends.
I’m grateful for ME time.
I’m grateful for catfood delivery.
I’m grateful for washers of all kinds.
I’m grateful for tea, showers and my comfy bed. Not so grateful I must walk the dog later, I want to go sleep NOW.

Today‘s gratitude.
A busy day: errands, plans, some downtime, a bit of exercise, family time.
I am grateful for it all, for all the ups and downs and upside downs and downsides up.
Sleep tight sober friends 🌃

Grateful
The house I had my eye on and my dream about sold. Things happen for a reason.
Things will keep happening for a reason - note to self.
Upcoming appointment with the VA to study my current brain, inside and out.
Knowing that things I tell myself are harmful and not helpful
Grateful - I do mean something. I am intelligent. I am prepared to be who I need to be. I matter.
You. - And just for fun…it’s only 9 days until I start beboppin’ around in the 600s.

So just curious … did you sabotage a load so you don’t have to do it anymore? Take it from me that subterfuge never worked in my house. I am told how exactly it should be done. As long as I follow the steps all is well. 😻

I am grateful for a delicious meal and time spent with parents. I am grateful for my job. I am grateful I have almost everything ready for vacation. We leave in 4 days 😄 I am grateful for my children and the snuggles tonight. I am grateful for the hot day, the summer days will be coming to an end soon. I am grateful for God and his plan. I am grateful I spent some time in prayer with him. I am grateful he placed me in the right time and place to help a homeless man. I am grateful for my sobriety and for laying my head down sober. I am grateful for you all and hope everyone had a smooth sailing monday 🖤. ODAAT 🙏

Hi everyone, I just found this site and have been reading it nonstop because it’s so helpful.
I’m grateful for the gift of learning from the experiences of others.
I’m grateful I have a boring job that lets me read and journal so I can prioritize healing and recovery.
I’m grateful that I’m feeling so motivated and hopeful this time around.
I’m grateful that some people in this world are just so hilarious because I tend to take life way too seriously.
I’m grateful for the people in my life who stick around despite all my issues.
I’m grateful for technology that lets me track my sobriety and connect with others living with addictions and compulsions.
I’m grateful I’ve made it through two weeks of picking up tools and reaching out instead of indulging in my DOC.
Thank you all for being here.

This morning I’m grateful for:
💭 Nice breakfast, cold watermelon in this heatwave is the best
💭 Good mood, despite sleep being fitful in this heat
💭 I don’t have to go anywhere this morning, so I can cook while it’s not yet sweltering
💭 The safety of my friends who live in an area that was evacuated due to a wildfire close by. It turns out they are away at this time.
💭 My mother’s strength and positive attitude
💭 My husband and kid. Sometimes they drive me bonkers, but I love them to pieces
💭 Family
💭 Creativity. Even if it’s just cooking, it’s a sanity saver.
💭 You lot in this place 🤩

I will catch up some day on here, I’m sooo tired.
Tuesday (?) gratitude.
I’m grateful for all the progress at the construction sites. I’m grateful I can help out with stuff and doing when needed. I’m grateful it will be beautiful.
I’m grateful I throw away jam that tastes like soap, nothing, idk. Anyway, I fucked up today’s jam, this experiment was NOT tasty 😂
I’m grateful I laugh about it, I like to try new experimental fruit combos for jam and this one … nope 🤢
I’m grateful I killed the fly in my bedroom, geez, this bzzzbzzzbzz was enervating.
I’m grateful for tea and air condition, both very much needed today.
I’m grateful I nearly burst of happiness and gratitude that big things finally become like I wanted them to be for years. Waiting ends soon 🙏 I’m grateful I hire professionals and know exactly what I want. I’m grateful most remains from my ex are gone now, the deck gets a new paving and the oldest field fence gets replaced. THIS is how decent work looks like. Keeping those spots tidy and in order will be so much easier resp. actually doable. I am excited 🙏
I’m dead tired, grateful, worried, proud and a dozen more emotions. I’m grateful for all my blessings. ODAAT
