I’m grateful to be stuck in my chair with Alice purring on my lap listening to my meditation music, hot tea and gratitude and a sporadic meme here and there :wink:

I’m grateful I decided to be inside this morning. It’s easier with all the dew on the cushions outside.

I’m grateful I don’t have jury duty. Wifey? Not so much :squinting_face_with_tongue: I’m grateful at least this afternoon we will find out what the rest of the week has in store. I’m grateful we live in Ventura County and don’t have to drive in to LA whenever we get a jury duty summons.

I’m grateful for the clear sunny morning this morning.

I’m grateful my wife is sober.
I’m grateful for contentment.
I’m grateful I live near enough to the ocean.
I’m grateful I’m surrounded by mountains and hills.
I’m grateful for my health.
I’m grateful my foot pain is a big annoyance and it’s at least not getting worse.
I’m grateful to be able to work on my garden. One bit at a time.

Monday evening gratitude.

i’m grateful for a day to unwind and rest.
i’m grateful for a beautiful weekend with friends and chosen family.
i’m grateful for a lovely wedding :sparkling_heart:
i’m grateful for fun and laughter, for calm and silence, for love and safety.

I’m grateful for leaving early, being in bed at my usual bedtime, being up at my usual wake up time and enjoying early morning walks around my favourite place on earth beside home :smiling_face:

I’m grateful for tasty food, for no stress all weekend, for dogs I got to pet, for leftovers of the wedding cake waiting for me in the fridge :face_savoring_food:

I’m grateful I took my time to visit the nice man I met 2 years ago at the family gathering. It was nice and his garden is beautiful. It’s a pitty he missed the wedding due to health reasons. I’m grateful for our chitchat texts.

I’m grateful for the most beautiful hairdo I ever had and my sis who is a genius in updos and all things hairdo :folded_hands:
I’m grateful I am still good in doing makeup.
I’m grateful for this big, loud, lovely chosen family :folded_hands::sparkling_heart: It’s a blessing to be bonus part of a big family when I’m the only one who is left of my family of origin.

I’m grateful my dog will return tomorrow, I miss my big cuddlebug. I’m glad I have a quiet day to sleep and rest before.

I’m grateful I take it easy from now on. Move done, wedding done. Time to focus on autumn work at the farm and tidying up indoor. Step by step.

I’m grateful the pizza dough should be ready soon, I love homemade pizza.

Today I am grateful for:

the changing of the seasons. Autumn’s my favourite but there’s something great about each of them and the fact that we have to wait 9 months for them makes me appreciate them each time.

TS for making staring at my phone productive.

The fact that I’m going to wake up tomorrow a little healthier than I woke up this morning.

Video games. I’m not even much of a gamer but recently tried a bit of The Witcher 3 - I just find it incredible that the people behind these games can create these whole worlds on our screens from nothing that so many people can just get lost in. Mind blowing.

Grateful today

Survived 1st weekend of walnut harvest. With crew gathered about 6 hundred pounds of walnuts. Hurt feelings occurred all around dealing with the tyrant (hubby) and grateful hubby is an equal opportunist and not all flack ended up on me.

All ended well and just now sold 260 pounds.

Grateful for rain to stay inside and not feel guilty for not doing outside chores.

Grateful for my AA meeting this morning

Tuesday evening gratitude.
Today I’m grateful I woke up rested and went back to my daily routines. I’m grateful I took a rest day yesterday, I needed it.

I’m grateful my big dog is back home, cancer cat enjoys the comfy big chair I unpacked and cleaned this morning and Missi cat is her mischievous self :smiling_face:

I’m grateful today’s pizza was fine, I still giggle about the burnt one yesterday when I fell asleep on the couch and didn’t hear the kitchen timer.

I’m grateful for my reliable car and that we are back home again.

I’m grateful for blankies warming my feet, it’s chill outside and I do not want to fire any stove or furnace, I’m too tired. Grateful I started to get ready for heating season.

I’m grateful I ordered soil and already got it delivered. Planting flower bulbs ahead :blush:

I’m grateful I will have tea and wedding cake for dinner :face_savoring_food:

Today I’m grateful for:

Constants in my surroundings. There’s a steep hill in my village, and if you climb to the top of it at night, you can see a tower that lights up red in the far distance. I’ve no idea what the tower is, where it is, and I quite like the mystery but moreso I like the fact it’s been there my whole life and will likely still be there after my life. Same for many of the trees in the nearby forests.

Weird cravings. I’ve been craving marzipan and Cornish fudge the past couple of days - I never get cravings so assuming it’s something to do with having got sober. I’m treating it as a good sign.

A channel I recently found on Twitch that’s a company selling hot dogs across America - you just follow their work day via. Their Go Pro. It sounds weird but I find some comfort in it and have been using it as background noise while I work and even to help me get to sleep
