Grateful for:
317 day sober and hangover free and zero desire to pick up
Cutting caffeine out odaat
Open communication with my doctor to talk about my concerns and knowing when to ask for help
Time to rest and not worry about what gets done or doesnt
Cuddles with will, rubie, and frank the tank
A break from the scale
A break from pressure to exercise a certain amout
Taking the pressure off
Progress not perfection
To be here with everyone on this sober sunday

Today I’m grateful for:
- A really good workout at the gym this morning
- A food truck called “Beinet Babe” that parked in my neighborhood this morning and made amazing coffee
- My last meditation class in the course I’ve been taking. I’m grateful for the class being pertinent to mindfulness as it must exist in my profession to make vets resilient against the things we’re up against.
- I’m grateful for my goofy dog making me laugh
- For new art projects keeping my attention and interest when life slows down
- For a friend who is fighting for our friendship when things get tough
- For my sweet kitty and her silly sounds while she watches the birds through the window
- For the relationships in my life that feel like home when my home doesnt always
- For my last two weeks of work, finally, and the new job coming up quickly, and the vacation in between
- For the comforts of home: clean clothes, warm showers, cool air on burning hot summer days, a cozy bed, and a car to get around in
- I’m supposed to write gratitude about my husband too so i love that he’s a carer who cooks for me, takes care of my car, and halfway tolerates my emotional swings, and that he’s funny and adventurous

I am grateful I withdrew my interest in work that wouldn’t pay enough to live.
I am grateful to make some money with pick-up and deliver work.

Late Day Gratitude…
I’m grateful to read all of your lists, how much I can relate to and appreciate so much of them.
I’m grateful for a day of getting more done. Grateful I took the pressure off yesterday. Thank you, @Peace! And for this: “Time to rest and not worry about what gets done or doesn’t.”
It was a weird day here. Thick, unsettling smoke. And then a storm tonight that turned the sky eerily dark when it rolled in.
I’m grateful the rain cleared most of the smoke. The dog fella and I just came back from a refreshing walk, in cooler temps post-rain.
We don’t walk the trails at night. Not far from home, along comes a bear ambling out of the trails and heading for the sidewalk we were on! (Behind us, thankfully). I’m grateful I saw him. He saw us too. I’m grateful the dog fella was clueless, probably thinking about liver treats…
I’m grateful tomorrow is a holiday here.
I’m grateful for music, well-curated radio shows and playlists, and being able to listen to live music from afar.
I’m grateful for all of you.
I’m grateful for another day.

As I finally lay down for bed- I reflect and I am so grateful for my busy day. I am grateful even though kiddos went to bed very late- I was able to squeeze in a cup of tea and meditation. I am grateful for the retail therapy today, it was much needed. I am grateful for a late brunch with the family. I am grateful for the home cooked meal my mother in law made. I am grateful for fresh and clean water. I am grateful for the warm sunshine today and heat- was able to get some evening swim time in. I am grateful for my plants. I am grateful for the current snuggles from my cat. I am so grateful to just be alive and experience this moment. I am grateful for this community and for all of you. I hope everyone had a good night/a good morning. ODAAT

I left off writing down gratitudes eons ago, so here I’m trying another go.
I’m grateful for:
- Vacation time
- My sister-in-law who is peculiar in her ways but unvaryingly hosts us for over a week at the beach every year
- A house where you can see and hear the sea from every window
- My brave sister who’s facing cancer, and her resolve to lean on all of us
- Doctors, teams of specialised doctors, and living in a country where cancer will not bankrupt a family
- My husband who is not the smartest emotion-wise but is willing to do anything to help
- My son, even as a pre-teen, he’s my light

Today I am grateful for
- the challenge and the opportunity of my daily emotions - currently I am travelling with envy, resentment, and some shame and fear; I also have love and gratitude - because they are grist for the mill of my recovery
- fatigue, because it teaches me to sleep - rest matters
- music: I appreciate being able to play the guitar and having people who want to hear me play the guitar
- my wife, who is insightful and determined and who has been invited to a conference this week; she got on the plane this morning (I am lucky to married to her)

Monday lunchtime gratitude.
I’m grateful the workers cleared the carport in half a day, they just startet working with the digger outside. I’m grateful I ask for help. I’m feeling ashamed that I did not clear it by myself from all my stuff that piled up out there since jannuary. I’m grateful I can let go of this feeling and acknowledge that it is just too much for me alone to keep up with every spot on my farm. I have long covid, I do my best, i respect my need for rest and abstain from overdoing it which would exhaust me badly. I work on structuring work in efficient ways, do everything that is necessary and give myself permission to skip things that are not important nor urgent. I’m grateful this learning and evolving process sometimes hurts like today. I’m grateful feeling so uncomfortable makes be look deeper at the whys. I’m grateful I will be chewing on this for a while and take it to therapy this week for discussion. Maybe I found a very old belief system that is not healthy and I can adress it to work on it.
I’m grateful for my toolbox, I feel overwhelmed. I’m grateful that I can retire into my house, construction site outdoor, me indoor. I’m grateful that I know I will get accustomed to the daily working outside soon, the noise is stressing me at the moment. I’m grateful I notice that I’m not in best shape today and need to take it slow for the rest of the day.
I’m grateful that I’m surrounded by my pets, dog to the left, cat to the right, they calm me.
I’m grateful I can check in here as often as I need it, read, answer, contribute, laugh. I’m grateful for this community. My emotions are a bit too much today, anxiety, nervous, grateful, happy, curious and some more all at once.
HALT tells me that I crave a shower, feel hungry, need another pot of tea and rest. I’m grateful I will meet my needs accordingly

Similar to giving, gratitude triggers the brain to release neurotransmitters and hormones associated with happiness, including dopamine and serotonin. Low levels of these hormones can cause depression. Regularly practicing gratitude can be a natural antidepressant because it produces feelings of contentment and pleasure.

Sorry you’re dealing with smoke from the prairie fires. I hope they are far away from you and your family. Be safe.

@Dazercat thank you , we are completely safe here. Just Smokey and smells like campfire and being outside for an extended period of time or being active out there makes the throat sting and who knows what it’s actually doing to the lungs lol . So dogs are getting for business only trips outside and the kids will have to be happy with movies or YouTube nonsense for the time being.
