Nov 20 Today I am grateful for:
Day 32. Iām craving much less than I was. Sobriety is beginning to feel more like a habit than a constant daily struggle. Not letting my guard down, though. My son has been very challenging at times lately. Fortunately, I have been so much better equipped to respond with my best version of parenting rather than attempting to do so while also dealing with alcohol withdrawal or alcohol in my system.
I am grateful for what I said above.
I am grateful to be spending less time at work and more time with family and having fun this and next weekend.
I am grateful for my great job, despite my frustrations with it.
I am grateful that my dadās injuries are improving and that my brother has had such an incredible recovery from a car accident in Feb 2024. He could have easily been killed or permanently paralyzed (he was partially for months).
I am grateful for art.
Warmest Regards,
Brent
thursday gratitude.
today iām grateful for all the hard work i put into personal development and the progress iāve made in the last years.
iām grateful i didnāt loose my shit when i fucked up today, i shook my head, left my wonderwuzzi where it was stuck in the mud and took steps to a) donāt make it worse 
b) reached out for help 
c) did what i could towards solving the problem in the future. not today. not tomorrow. maybe saturday when the soil is frozen. shit happens. no harm done. problem solvable. just life being lifey on the farm 
iām deeply heartfelt grateful that i stayed calm and mumbled WTF instead of feeling overwhelmed, panic, overthink and get desperated over another burden on my plate. what a fucking mess i was in this toxic marriage, how lost and disconnected from myself. now i have calm, quiet, strength and serenity in abundance, enough to even grin about fucking up. last time same episode was 12 years ago and my ex got stuck in the muddy grassland with the Land Rover. Fortunately my memory is good and I avoided some problems today taking instant steps 
when you fuck up, do it decent is my motto of the day.
besides farm shenanigans iām grateful the zoo is as fine as possible and the dogfarts didnāt make me vomit. God knows where this comes from or what this dog catches to eat when I donāt look. iām grateful for my farty dog, i love him. iām grateful cancer cat had a quite active day, grateful for quality time with both cats.
iām grateful the plumber finished repairs at the townhouse, one item off the to do list
iām grateful i ordered the stonewall, they will start early december.
iām grateful step by step things get done.
iām grateful for therapy, for tea, for the heated pillow in my back, for parcel delivery, for online shopping, for washers of all kind, for trash collect, for lovely neighbours, good friends, all the blessings in my life, joy, laughter, a piece of chocolate cake I treated myself to today, hot showers, a warm house, comfy cloths, leftovers, Christmas decoration, ā¦ the list goes on and I go to sleep now.
ODAAT
My gratitude cup is over flowing.
Number one is grateful for recovery. Without it, I would be nothing.
Iām grateful to recognize that today.
Iām grateful to be teachable. Im an old dog and I can learn new tricks.
Iām grateful to be on a safety oriented boat. Drills, constant safety reminders we had a four hour safety course today from the Coast Guard on our boat. Everyone is up to date on what to do if anything happens. This is a first for me.
Iām grateful to be so focused on recovery that Iāve even been thinking about how to stay safe(clean and sober)no matter what.
Iām grateful for the reminder that I play a dangerous game crabbing. This isnt just going fishing. This is the real deal.
Im grateful for the ability, the courage, and the opportunity to get to do this.
Im grateful to live life to the fullest.
Almost 2 days.
There is so much to be grateful today!

Iām grateful our school system here, I have no concerns about the devotion of the teachers, the curriculum or course material.

Today Iām grateful for:
The story my son told in his writing project about the first time he and I went ice fishing. Iām always amazed when I hear about a core memory I created with him.
Having a growing sense of self worth. The old me probably wouldāve been in the midst of a mental breakdown with my divorce 4 days away. Now itās just another step in the right direction.
My body telling me that I need to rest even though being under the weather sucks.
Good coffee
All the amenities of home that are taken for granted and are missed during a camping trip.
Getting to have a beach to walk my dog on just 5 minutes from my house. That dog found a castaway chicken wing washed up on the rocks. 
Maybe I shouldāve let him keep his treasure.
Some sunshine after a couple of gloomy days.
Iām grateful for game time decisions like right now deciding to stay home and get wifey coffee, breakfast (just her blueberry muffin) meds and just wait for her to wake up instead of going to my beach meeting. Iām grateful I really wanted to go but happy with my decision to stay home. Iām grateful I can go to The Bluffs meeting on Sunday, after she has a couple more days recovery in her.
Iām grateful I can be so flexible now with āgame time,ā decisions.
Iām grateful I can get a bunch of cleaning done around the house and a good walk in my hood.
Iām grateful the rain is easing up and a sunny week in the forecast.
Iām grateful I found a second pair of Sketches in my size @JazzyS and they work great as they didnāt have the old ones that are working great. Iāve never worn Sketches. Didnāt think they had size canoe 
Iām grateful for my meditation music and on to my hot ginger turmeric tea and now a slow easy morning.
Iām grateful the Dallas kids arenāt coming today. The morning sickness is wreaking havoc on her. We understand.
Iām grateful for a conversation with niece/daughter yesterday about her problems and we both just listened. Iām grateful we never said āyou shouldāve doneā¦..ā and she shouldāveā¦ā¦.., oh boy she shouldāve! But we just listened. She really shouldāveā¦ā¦
Iām grateful I think I have decided to cook Thanksgiving dinner here just the 2 of us. Another game time decision.
Iām grateful Trader Joeās has brined half turkeys that I hopefully can easily roast for the 2 of us.
Iām grateful I got my tuna dip supplies.
I grateful my Thanksgiving shopping list is small and I can pick up a couple of things here and there as needed.
Iām grateful for the gorgeous sleep I got last night after listening to Meditation for Serenity 2021-2025! (tips, tricks & discussion/ 4 years running woot!) - #1663 by Dazercat
Worked like a charm.
Iām grateful I made time for gratitude 
Iām grateful I believe it works.
I am grateful for my winter jacket.
I am grateful I took the call from a friend. She didnāt receive the things she needs to refill her insulin pump and was venting. I think she is panicking somehow and I went to the mail office to send her what she needs. I am really hoping sheāll get it tomorrow. Iād be panicking and frustrated and angry as fuck as the fucking diabetes shop is too stupid toā¦ (Sorry for all the fuck in this thread)
I am grateful for a short chat with a friend here this morning.
I am grateful I cleaned the coffee machine which made me feel good.
I am grateful itās the weekend and itāll be sunny tomorrow.
Hello 
Happy Friday. I think I will add to this list as my day goes along, to help me stay grounded and positive. Other than the fixed standards like my home, wife, daughter, and work, today specifically I am grateful for:
-beautiful sunrise this morning, of purple, dark blue, red, and orange
-my bike rack came off my car in 3 seconds this morning, as easily as possible, and my car has a full tank of fuel for the weekend (gotta celebrate the small wins!).
-I have a perfect workflow at the office these days
-Did 2.5 hours of exercise yesterday; Iām not sore, and Iām feeling healthy. Hit my 7-hour sleep target 
-Have delicious leftovers for lunch today - The Pesto and Pea Ricotta Rigatoni from Canadian Living.
-My wife has a surprise weekend away planned for us. Iām packing right after work.
See you soon. I hope you have lots to be grateful for in your life today.

Better get my gratitude down now as my time will not be my own in a few hours
Grateful even though hours spent with hubby at new work home Wednesday were just horrible today is a new day and will pray for peace and reconciliation . I must believe eventually like a light switch life will click on and become extraordinary in our relationship.
Grateful got my shopping completed for weekend meals and new recipeās to try
Grateful for gorgeous sunny day- I can hear little Mike crowing he apparently likes the weather too. Although I donāt think my rooster knows what time it is @Dazercat 11am really shouldnāt be crow alarm setting. He is confused.
