Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #9

Tuesday gratitude.
Today I’m grateful for

  • Remembering to put the trash bin out, trash collection is tomorrow
  • Remembering to fix the date for moving townhouse to farmhouse
  • Vet visit to check at Schimanski’s weight loss. Dumb me forgot that renal catfood for the old boy (and all others to participate) contained a lot more calories than normal cat food :see_no_evil_monkey: Of course he lost weight as renal food is out of stock at home and not served for about a month by now. I’m grateful I’d rather check in once too often at the vet than overlook something.
  • I’m grateful for a homecooked meal and a nap
  • I’m grateful to declare the big field thistle free :folded_hands: Weeding thistles is annoying but necessary. Me, the thistle killer :flexed_biceps:
  • Good handcream
  • Puttering around the house
  • Autumn-like weather
  • Tea
  • Petlove
  • Feeling relaxed, content, serene and grateful

A day full of gratefulness :folded_hands:t4:

:sunflower: I am so very grateful for the ability to move and socialize (on my terms). Grateful for the human interaction
:sunflower: I am so very grateful for baby energy. So precious and pure. Grateful that I can hold, feed and play with a new born and don’t have to do the diaper stuff :joy:. Grateful that I have accepted this was not in the cards for me and can enjoy from a far.
:sunflower: I am so very grateful for the love and peace I feel in my heart
:sunflower: I am so very grateful for getting my errands run. Found my favorite Yellowstone coffee at another store as my local one was out of stock. My blend tasted off without it
:sunflower: I am so very grateful for having the energy and time to bake treats for my brother and his friend. Grateful for how lovely the counter set up looks with a coffee area and tummy treats.
:sunflower: I am so very grateful for my parents, my siblings, my relatives (blood and choose)
:sunflower: I am so very grateful for my Higher Power and His loving energy all around me. Grateful for my faith and devotion.
:sunflower: I am so very grateful for all you beautiful souls. For this wonderful sober journey and learning to love myself for who I am.
:sunflower: I am so very grateful for meditation and prayer :folded_hands:t4:
:sunflower: I am so very grateful for seasonal fruits. For access to healthy nutritious foods

Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day… sending you all so much love :heart::heart:

Today I am grateful

Grateful for this evening storm that allowed me to snuggle up with ALL my boys and watch a quick show while dinner cooked. It’s rare they’re all home or bored enough to tolerate each other :sweat_smile:

I’m grateful I allegedly cooked a tasty meatloaf for dinner, and I’m looking forward to having some for lunch tomorrow.

I’m grateful for the deeper connection with my husband, oddly enough, he’s opened up a lot more and we’ve been able to have some hard, but important conversations.

Im grateful we’re both putting in the effort and choosing to love each other through both of our BS.

I’m grateful my kid finished off the rest of the lemon Oreo’s while I was at work. I’m never buying those again…they’re too dangerous.

Today I am so grateful for my physical and mental health. I am grateful to be alive. I am grateful that my husband was able to get the kiddos today so I could sit with a patient and patient family longer to provide support. I am grateful for my job. I am grateful for the biggest hugs from my children when I got home from work. I am grateful for having my extended family over for a late night swim/pool time. I am grateful for God placing me in the right time/place to help others. I am grateful for all of you and the welcome backs :slight_smile: I am grateful for my sobriety. :folded_hands:

I’m grateful that I got on my knees this morning and surrendered to a loving higher power for guidance and strength to help me remain clean and sober just for today. I’m grateful that I played nine holes of golf this morning and get to go to work for noon after the late breakfast I am making now. I’m grateful for music that improves my mood. I’m grateful the cat is playing with his toy ball in the shower, watching him kick it up and around the wall and back to himself is adorable :smiling_cat_with_heart_eyes: I’m grateful that when I do the right thing, live in the here and now while following the spiritual principles of the twelve steps, life is good, and I am as happy as I chose to be.

p.s. You’re amazing. Ya you!!

Todayā€˜s gratitude.
For my morning people, my kind, funny, loving sangha from all over the world.
For my work, so inspiring, so fulfilling, such a blessing. For AI as an assistant, discussing, showing me my blind spots, encouraging.
For trails and errors in life and the capacity to deal with it. For my recovery programme that is teaching me every day how to dealt with the frustrations of life. For getting better at it.
For family, for love, for kindness. For tears and laughter, crazy ideas and the silver lining in everything. For the crazy ones and the ones that will support me no matter what. More often than not it is the same person.
For stories, books, movies, tv series. All those worlds visited and lives lived just in my fanatsy.
For workouts, yoga and feeling good in my body.
For a good day and a good life.
For a relaxed evening and the prospect of a quiet night :night_with_stars:

It’s been a couple days because the past couple nights I’ve fallen asleep while writing a post here and I’ve woken up with a half written post the next morning. So I’m coming a little earlier tonight

I’m grateful I did not react when things got ugly at work today. I was able to come home today with no regrets of terrible things said ( unlike my boss)
I’m grateful a bad day no longer equals ā€œI need to get wastedā€ in fact it was the furthest thing from
My mind today
I’m grateful to be home with my family
I’m grateful we had dinner together
Im grateful for this place where I can share so many different things without judgement
I’m grateful for hot showers
Im grateful for my puzzle to work on
Im grateful to go to bed sober
