October 11 - Today I am grateful for: Godā¦ I am so blessed and grateful for what He does. All the ovvious things ans the things behind the scenes that Im not even aware of. SO grateful for Him My sonā¦ I got to spend some quality time with him yesterday out in nature. We had a leaf fight, took tons of photos, and relaxed on the blanket trying to catch the leaves as they fell.
(Didnt want to show his face but I did want to show how much fun we had) My husband and the fact that we work as a team My job and being able to work My husbands job and the wage and benefits he recieves Natureā¦ specifically the fall leaves Improvements to my health, no matter how slow they are Photographyā¦ that they capture special moments
Thank you! I feel so lucky to have great friendships in my life. We all live in different states but we are consistently in contact.
Iām also making a lot of new friends with all of the fitness competitions Iāve been doing. Iāve been running into a lot of the same people and, well, weāre forced to get to know eachother. But there are so many amazing people in the space and I have been able to connect with a few of them outside of it. Itās all still very new. Itās always hard making new friends as an adult because youāre essentially going to be catching up on a lot of the āloreā they donāt know about.

October 12 - Today I am struggling a bit to think of things Im grateful for. Idk whyā¦ but Ill try. Today I am grateful for: My job and for completing my weekend shifts. I didnt miss work. My husband and son making me smile this morning. A family day tomorrow. Its Thanksgiving in Canada. It will be nice to spend time together as a family. The trains running properly today and tomorrow (as I have to go grocery shopping tomorrow morning). My meds. They help me stay emotionally stable. My recovery. I dont miss active addictions one bit. My husband also being clean and sober. Warm clothes as its chilly and snowing outside today.
My local library and the knowledge and programming they provide.
Quiet morning walks with my dog Ranger.
My health. Iāve made so much progress on my mental health in the last year and my physical health in the last 9 months. My relationship with food is getting better too. Thankful I have privilegeto work on these issues.
Feeling like a good person because Iām doing the work and taking the actions. instead of performing for others to prove my worth. I do feel like Iām slowly building on this.
Good talks with friends who genuinely wish to support me.
Processing my emotions as they come and journaling or sharing about them so that I can recognize that they donāt have to define me. I can pause and think before I react to them instead of burying the ones I deem unsatisfying.
The accomplishment small things like chores can bring to oneās life. Keeping our space and our appearance tidy is just one way we show ourselves respect.
Sunday evening gratitude.
Today Iām grateful for a relaxed, lazy sunday. Iām grateful I worked a lot yesterday and got some things done.
Iām grateful for living at my pace.

I am grateful for the strong body I nourished and built over the past two and a half years.
I am grateful for my mom. She has always been my day one and showed me kindness.
Iām grateful for my Betty Boop and her protective instincts.
I am grateful that my genuine intentions remain unchanged and, if anything, use energies as an opportunity to grow and fuel that fire within me. The Universe will handle the rest. So mote it be.
Grateful for:
387 days booze/poison free
The weekend to rest and relax

This thread and everyone
Just finished up Thanksgiving dinner here and like every year before we eat we go around the table and everyone shares 1 or 2 things they are thankful for. When I realized how much my kids struggled with coming up with something I thought maybe I should make it a nightly routine for them share just 1 thing a day they a grateful for. They will probably hate it but Iām still gonna give it a shot.
Anywaysā¦
Iām grateful we could find a basic coffee brewer for $35 today when ours unexpectedly died. New brewer wasnāt exactly in the budget plan for this week so finding something inexpensive was key.
Im grateful I felt well enough to make everyone dinner tonight
Iām grateful my partner took care of the general cleaning before everyoneās arrival for me
Iām grateful everyone enjoyed the food and each others company
Iām grateful for todayās warm weather
Im grateful for dogs to walk when conversations went the way of conspiracy theories. That shit drives me nuts
Im grateful to be comfy and watching the Blue Jayās with my family
Im grateful to have my home back to ourselves
Iām grateful I wonāt be waking up tomorrow worrying about what I did or said while everyone was here
Today Iām grateful for:
~Sweatshirts
~Playing games
~Laughter
~Following through
~Keeping up with my PT exercises
~Figuring out for sure something that sets off my mast cell issues
~Wonderful speakers that bring a great message
~Not being full of resentments anymore thanks to this program
~Having a few extra hours on our weekly ādateā night this week
~Not getting the intense storm we thought we may but still getting some much needed rain
