Saturday gratitude.
I just remembered that I forgot the vet appointment for the dog in the morning. I’m grateful I don’t stress about it, it will be possible on monday too, formal necessity. I fell asleep again and completely forgot about it I need to set an alarm for everything, it’s exhausting. All this fuzz for something that’s obvious, the dog is healthy. I’m grateful for this big, snorring, farting cuddlebug. I’m grateful Missi purred me to sleep twice today, heavy warm fluffball on my chest. I’m grateful the big red furball kept me company at the office, sleeping on the desk.
I’m grateful I tackled cleaning the first floor today, vacuum and mopping done, steam mopping and window cleaning tomorrow. The guest room will be ready when my sisters from chosen family visit Grateful for texting chitchat all morning.
I’m grateful for this rest day. I’m grateful the canned food tasted mediocre, motivation to cook fresh again. I’m grateful I got several hours of naps, I’m still tired from yesterday, maybe the whole week was a bit too much. I’m grateful next week is the last week packed with appointments, then it gets quieter. Maybe. I hope so from today’s outlook.
I’m grateful it was a cool morning today and not so fucking hot later. Praying for rain, we need it.
I’m grateful for warm showers, fresh washed hair, washers of all kind, tea, water, comfy furniture to fall asleep on. I’m grateful for opportunities, that I don’t have to decide or give a fuck if I don’t want to, for no stress and much quiet time. I’m grateful for this cozy home, feeling safe and secure, nobody nagging or guilt-tripping me. I’m grateful I am home where I find peace of heart and mind. ODAAT

I miss @I.cant.We.can @acromouse @EarnIt @eph-M-eral @LAB @Laner here on this thread. A grateful shoutout to you
Happy Saturday friends! I’m grateful to be here and be sober!
I appreciate the notes from people and I can assure you that I am well.
I wanted to take a break from my Saturday posts while I adjusted to my summer routines. I have been away from the classroom for a month now and am in a good spot. My sobriety and recovery work is strong and I am grateful to be sober and happy and healthy.
I’m grateful for my cozy and loving home and the great little town where we live.
I’m grateful to get this time to spend with my husband and my pets every day.
I’m grateful that my sons are well. My oldest had a very rough winter but has landed on his feet and is in a better place. I’m grateful that he allowed me to help him. And allowed me to love him through his hard times.
I’m grateful that the relationship I have with my mom is coming along. Therapy last summer, some work on myself, and bringing some different tools to our interactions is helping.
I’m grateful to be safe. There is so much danger in our country right now and my heart is so sad for so many who are suffering directly and who are suffering in fear.
I’m grateful to have adequate resources to care for myself and my family right now.
I’m grateful for the amazing free resources of the public library and all that I get to enjoy.
I’m grateful to find joy in my summer garden and the beauty of nature.
I’m grateful for this community and the feeling of renewal that I get to have here. I’m grateful for all of you. Keep being strong and caring for yourselves!
Oh, thank you for this nudge! Just last night I was thinking I gotta get back here on more of the regular.
I’m so grateful for you.
I’m grateful we are on parallel though different journeys with our canine companions.
I’m grateful to be sober and laughing about my wild man, oops I mean dear doggo, and his goofy antics. I’m grateful he brings structure and levity and joy and some manageable messiness to my life!
I’m grateful it’s a new month. I feel reflective, introspective. It’s been a lot the last sixish months. Well, I guess when is it never a lot? This month I have some milestones, sobriety and age. They are 99% exciting and 1% churn. Roughly. I’m grateful that I know myself so much better, that I accept my introspection and hit up my journal, or the trail with my wild man, when it gets to be a lot. I’m grateful I so enjoy my me time. Sober me, of course.
I’m grateful for the basics. That I will go get some groceries this afternoon and not wonder if I can afford them. That I have a roof over my head, clothes in my closet, everything I need, really, and I don’t think twice about it.
I’m grateful for dear old friends and technology to keep in touch with them. I’m grateful for this app and this thread, for dear pals here too. @I.cant.We.can and @Sunflower1 and @Its_me_Stella I was thinking about all of you and am grateful for you too!
I’m grateful for another day.

I also understand how you feel. I am humbled by his loved one sharing with us his passing. Sorry to say you folks would not be notified if I were to pass. Maybe I should put a note on my last requests to get a post on here. Then at least you wouldn’t have to wonder where I’ve been.
I’m grateful today was easier than yesterday in my head. I’m grateful I know this is always an inside job.
I’m grateful for the rain today, a nice cooler day, pleasant walks with my dog pal, for long ago giving up on caring about what humidity and moisture of any kind do to my hair.
I’m grateful for time and energy for creative projects.
I’m grateful for the yummy dinner I made myself, for the long chat with a pal tonight, for the support of this place, that I feel ready to tackle this week (mostly. Could always use another day!)
I’m grateful for another day.
Monday lunchtime gratitude.
Today I’m grateful yesterday I did little: sleep a lot, cooked a yummi meal, watched crime series on TV. I’m still exhausted today This summer is straining.
I’m grateful for a warm, heavy fluffball on my legs, it’s couchtime and I can’t move allthough lunch is ready and waiting on the stove. I’m grateful I cooked healthy today.
I’m grateful the dog was ok and behaved well at the vet. Another item ticked off. I’m grateful it’s cooler and it rained. Not so grateful the sun is out again.
i’m grateful for my lovely home, for freedom, for feeling safe and secure, for blankies, cuddles, friends, fresh air, hot showers, tea, for my sleeping pets
i’m grateful little things bring me joy, make me smile, warm my heart. i’m grateful i’m a kind and caring person and i’m grateful for people being kind and caring.
i’m grateful for the comfy jogger i’m wearing, for the lighting mounted last year, for everything I achieved and survived.
i’m grateful for my life as it is, it’s astonishing how far i’ve come in the last 3 years. i’m grateful to be me.
I’m grateful I can rest for the day remaining, I nearly fell asleep typing this.
