Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #9

I am grateful

  • to wake up sober and with a clear mind. It never, ever gets old.
  • for acceptance and serenity. I’ve gotten so much better at knowing what’s mine to change and what’s not.
  • for honest shares and people actively asking for support. There are still lessons here for me.
  • for a good laugh this morning, @tailee17. I love your sense of humor.
  • for furry friends who walk through life with us :orange_heart:
  • for november rain :cloud_with_rain::sign_of_the_horns:

I am grateful for life giving me a second chance. Even though that second chance has royally screwed me over a few times already. I’m just glad it was no one and done situation :mending_heart:

Day 26. It has gotten SO much easier not to drink. I still have the psychological habit of wanting to get a sixer when I feel stressed or exhausted and want to relax (even though drinking will exacerbate both of those problems), but my mental health is has not been circling the drain (Thanks, sobriety!) so abstinence has been much easier.

Today I am grateful for my family and friends and our overall good health.

I am grateful that it is Friday.

I am grateful to have finally found a guitar teacher who seems to be compatible with my learning style. We have only had 3 lessons and he has already inspired a few “eureka" moments for me which have already greatly demystified the fretboard and how songs are composed. I am an engineer, so I just HAVE to understand how things work before my brain can retain the information. Sometimes this can make things difficult, but it will also mean that as things continue to "click”, I will have a better understanding of the instrument than probably 90% of guitar players. (Guitar players are notoriously ignorant about music theory, including many of the greats.)

Have a great day everyone :slight_smile:

I’m grateful for the rain too :umbrella_with_rain_drops:
I’m grateful wifey got up before me and fed the cats :scream: Where am I?

I’m grateful got nothing to do but sit and sip and listen to meditation music and rain.

I’m grateful dermatology appointment went well yesterday. Just froze a bit here and there with their special freeze device. I’m grateful I’m good for another 6 months.

I’m grateful last nights dinner turned out so well.

I’m grateful Gus wiped us out after the sleepover Wednesday night. I’m grateful he lets me sing to him. I’m grateful I got to comfort him after he fell and scraped his knee :cry: I’m grateful he let me. I’m grateful we both had fun swinging on our swing at 7 am while wifey slept. I’m grateful he cried when we told him it was time to go home :joy: I’m grateful we had so much fun. I’m grateful he’s not so stand offish with me anymore. I’m grateful I don’t force it.

I’m grateful I know I cannot control others and trying to control a toddler is Right Out!! I’m grateful when my wife and I look at each other and think and or say at the same time “he’s not our problem.” :rofl: We just get to love him :heart:

I’m grateful he hasn’t asked about Benson :cry:

I’m grateful for the rain :cloud_with_rain: again :wink:

Friday evening gratitude.
Today I’m grateful for reading here, nodding and thinking “yes, I’m grateful for that too”.

I’m grateful for the laughter we share :joy:

I’m grateful the day is over, i felt uneasy today. Maybe too much caffein. But I’m grateful I enjoyed my black tea in the morning and my monthly coffee after breakfast! Oh and how I enjoyed it. Delicious. After 30 years I STILL miss coffee on the regular. Sigh. I’m grateful my stomach tolerated today’s cup well :folded_hands: Already looking forward to my Christmas coffee :blush:

I’m grateful cancer cat had a good day. I love all my furballs to pieces.

I’m grateful I moved a Billy shelf from first floor to ground floor, did some minor fixings and am ready to replace the first wardrobe with it tomorrow.

Grateful I did not flip out with my own chaos today, I started too many tasks and am stuck in the middle of them all :see_no_evil_monkey:
I’m grateful I know the house will look organized again soon. Rearranging furniture and reorganizing the household produces chaos while work in progress. I’m grateful this is temporary and I know what I’m doing. I’m grateful I trust myself in the process. I’m grateful the times when I stayed stuck in chaos are long gone. I’m grateful I can work at my pace. I’m grateful I laugh about myself.

I’m grateful for long walks in the grey, foggy weather. The dog was excited, I enjoyed it.

I’m grateful for Missi cat sleeping comfy on my legs.

I’m grateful I ate healthy today, took my meds, had a hot shower, chatted with a neighbour and a friend, asked a new company for an offer for the last stonewall as the plasterers never sent one.
Grateful for my comfy couch, for a warm house, for modern amenities and for feeling safe & secure.

OOH that is perfect. :hugs:

My sis did the same thing with a very small wedding and was able to get a friend of theirs to officiate the wedding. Found a lovely place in the park to have the ceremony. Sis got her dress from the discount rack too - it was a gorgeous dress! I think she even sold it afterwards on FB LOL. They were more interested in spending money on a vacation rather than the wedding day LOL

I am sure you will have the perfect day and celebration :heart: Looking forward to virtually celebrating your big day with you :heart:
