Iām grateful my my shift at work today was short and easy
Iām grateful to understand that people who repeatedly let you down arenāt worth getting upset over. They donāt deserve the power to upset me anymore. So it just is what it isā¦
Iām grateful my kids are enjoying all their new stuff.
Iām grateful there was more leftovers to use so dinner was easy when original plans for tonight got cancelled

I am grateful for the relaxing day I had today. Laundry is done, house is stocked again with groceries and I was able to relax for the afternoon and have some self care in the morning with some sauna time for myself.
I am grateful the kids are home for winter break. Seeing them play and grow is always a joy. I took them out to the store today with me. They saw Christmas sweaters on sale and wanted. I said yes, they got a lot over Christmas but I know itās something more they will wear and love as they picked. I love seeing my kids happy and being able to give them what they want.
I am grateful for another game night with the family, we are enjoying this more and more as a family.
I am grateful things are going well in our home. No arguments. No fights and no insults. Itās a different kind of peace going around and I am enjoying it.
Time to enjoy a movie in bed. Night!
I am greatful christmas holiday is over and our last house guest leaves in the early am!
I am greatful i took 2 long naps today and im still going to go to bed at a regular time. My body must of needed it.
I am greatful for quality time.
I am greatful to get back to quieter days and a week off work to get shit done
I am greatful we had house guests as it pushed hubby and i to clean
I am greatful for the new dishwasher and being motivated to stay on top of dishes
Day 38
Iāve discovered that balance within myself and day plays an intricate role in my peace of mind.
Iām grateful that I was able to balance my ambitions for the day with the capabilities of my mind and body.
Iām grateful that Iāve started to clean up my storage room for my gym. Iām grateful that I can physically see the progress that Iāve made.
Iām grateful that my room is organized. Iām grateful that Iāve decided to buy a desk to have my own space for writing, reading, working & meetings.
Iām grateful that I understand that I can only do so much in a day, with the allotted time that I have. Whatever is accomplished or not is within my capability of the day.
āGrass doesnāt grow at the same rate everyday. The grass doesnāt know the conditions and care itās getting, it reacts to the environment that itās living in.
I am not grass, I have control of my internal conditions, I am responsible for my care. I create the environment for my growth, my growth is dependent upon my effort. My effort will vary day to day based on my capability to balance my mind, body & spirit. I am not grass, but I sure do grow like it!ā
- Me
Have a great night everyone!
Today Iām so thankful for:
Audio books being free through the Libby App with the help of my local library. Having a book to listen to on long car rides with the kiddo is a must so I donāt have to feel guilty about gobs of screen time.
My sister. Sheās a great host who makes a point to have entertaining things to do.
My kiddo getting to have some unsupervised time with his cousins in the hot tub.
My dog. He has done SO WELL visiting a home with 4 other dogs around. He was so calm and affectionate like 95% of the time. And of the other 5%, like 4% wasnāt even his fault. Feeling proud of him and more confident that he can come on more trips.
Family that I shouldnāt take for granted. They love me and I love them in spite of any differences we may have.
A bounty of delicious food to eat and gifts for my son to enjoy from his aunt and uncle.

Sunday, 28th December 2025
Yep, had to look it up, I have completely lost track of time.
Today Iām grateful for another day doing the same things: Give the dog lotsa fun time in the snow, chat with a neighbour, cuddle & play with all cats and dog, do some chores & laundry, eat whatās in the fridge, tea, shower, watch series, nap, calls with friends. Iām deeply grateful I can get lost in such a lovely life and modern amenities to have it warm, comfortable, safe and stay connected ![]()
ODAAT

Grateful that even when I donāt want to post on here - I know itās important. I also know it can be hard but super beneficial to notice everything youāre thankful for.
Yep to the present @Cjp The more depression and anxiety I feel - the more to the past I look. The present is a place to be and be grateful for.
Love, peace, power, hope - grateful for knowledge of all of thatā¦..
Tomorrow is two years alcohol-free and what is PRESENT should be very interesting as time moves along.
Today I am grateful for a Sunday to catch up on things around the house. I was able to get some workout in and stretch.
I am grateful I was able to get some cleaning done around the house as well as organizing.
I am grateful for the dinner my husband and I cooked together and cleaned up the kitchen sharing the task. Dinner was delicious.
I am grateful for staying in today, freezing rain and then rain all evening. Wet and cold out.
I am grateful that situations come up and it still shows that neither of us knows how to handle it. I thought I did myself a favour by not bringing up what was bothering me but he picked up on it and then I told him-I am blamed for his anger now. I could have handled it differently but even when I explained to him what the issue was he still treated me like he did before-raising his voice and behaving offended. I am grateful to know that we both still need to grow and learn to speak to each other. I am grateful that I didnāt yell, I didnāt accuse him, I didnāt get loud.
I have to work tomorrow and need to clear my mind before I sleep.
Have a good night!
Iām grateful for my morning coffees
Iām grateful quiet moments
Im grateful I was able to get groceries today
Iām grateful for my partners good driving skills and quick reactions that prevented us from hitting a pole after sliding on a patch of ice on our way home from shopping
Iām grateful we are all home and safe this evening
Iām grateful we have a generator to keep things going while the power is out from this freezing rain storm.
Im grateful I got my washer working again today to catch up on some laundry . Iām grateful I managed to figure it out myself. And didnāt have to pay some repair guy. ![]()
