Tuesday gratitude.
Today I’m grateful I did what was necessary and took it slow besides it. I’m grateful the last stonewall will be set up thursday, today machinery and material was delivered, more material tomorrow. I’m grateful for an interesting talk with the guy who will build it.
I’m grateful my finances are straight for december, a bit tight, but everything covered. I’m grateful I pay all insurances at once for the year, it makes calculating cashflow easier. I’m grateful I managed to afford the stonewall. I’m really grateful that now my headache about potential landslide will be gone in a few days. Can’t imagine I fixed all the stonewall crap in 1,5 years. Holy shit, I made it I’m grateful for tenacity, persistence and the funds to cover all this. I’m grateful I did not wait last year for my ex to finish what he started. I’m grateful I organize to get things done. I’m grateful I get things done myself.
I’m grateful for laughter. I’m grateful that my pets tolerate slow days when I’m not cuddly.
I’m grateful the new washer/dryer works. So much laundry to catch up.
I’m grateful for my comfy couch, my warm house, for peace of heart and mind, for leftovers, for christmas decoration, for naps, for living at my pace, serene, peaceful, joyful, grateful. I’m grateful the Lonely in HALT will pass. I’m grateful I feel connected. I’m grateful for a spontaneous happy christmasy small talk with two strangers, mother & daughter while I was waiting today.
I’m grateful for the nice pot of tea I’m gonna have this evening.

People who stay engaged in public discourse at the local level. I think it’s the most impactful move you can make to affecting change in a meaningful way. Don’t just participate in the “big elections” folks. They all matter.
Having the abilities to be given the responsibilities that amounts to meaningful work.
Walking with my dog and communing with my HP almost every morning.
Having the improved emotional skills to navigate relationship with others. To discern who is safe to open up to and who is not.
Having a gratitude practice that I get to share with all of your wonderful people who recognize the power in its simplicity.
The winter and the clean slate that it creates for the new year.
You are a joy to read @Pandita. Thanks for sharing yourself here and congrats on 4 years. I’m chasing that milestone but I’ll get there in February. Lead on to year 5.
So glad you were handed your package! Mine came on Sunday, he threw it and when I opened it I found the skincare jar cracked up. They refunded me and sent me a new one! Grateful for their amazing customer service always.
Like everyday there are many things for me to be grateful for. I’m just too exhausted tonight so I’ll keep it simple.
I’m grateful for the shepherd’s pie that I made today. I made it from scratch with fresh ingredients and it tasted amazing!
I’m grateful for attending my kids school Christmas concert. It was fun seeing them dance and sing.
I’m grateful for recording and posting my shepherds pie recipe. I’m grateful for the new subscribers and all the watch time.
I’m grateful that I was able to help two guys that had a burning desire not use for the time we spoke on the phone. Lending an ear can go a long way and I’m grateful that I was in the position to listen.
I’m grateful that I was able to adjust my day and not feel off in the moment. My schedule was behind, I ended up missing two meetings that I attend regularly and enjoy. I recognized by 7:30 that I needed a meeting to feel reset before bed and attended an 8pm meeting. I’m grateful that I’m finding comfort in these meetings, recognizing faces and people remembering me.

I’m grateful for another hangover free sober morning. Never gets old.
I’m grateful I’m sleeping in til 7:30 these mornings.
I’m grateful when motivation is low it’s ok.
I’m grateful I forgot to sign something yesterday and it was not the end of the world. I fucked up. I signed it this morning.
I’m grateful to be learning not to be so hard on myself.
I’m grateful the little annoying things my wife use to do while she wasn’t sober she still does them. Maybe it WAS me I’m grateful for Al-Anon and I can see that’s just her and her little annoying things. I bet I have a ton of annoying little things I do. Nah… I’m perfect
I’m grateful wifey and I make such a great team especially now that she is sober.
I’m grateful my DIL texted yesterday and she graduated from the IVF clinic I’m grateful Jack is measuring right on time. He’s moving and has a strong heartbeat. I’m grateful she sent a picture of herself wearing her uterus sweater for the occasion
Omg I’m grateful for the best, artistic, funny, loving, mother to my grandchildren.
I’m grateful wifey has her 2 week post op checkup and they will take the bandage off. I’m grateful I drive all the time anyway because she can’t drive for another 6 weeks. I’m grateful my chores around here are getting back to normal. I’m grateful that will give me more time for whatever the fuck it is I do. Or wanna do.
I’m grateful for my little family near and far. And my TS fam
I’m late to the party. Happy 4 years @Pandita
I’m grateful to catch up a bit here. Not all, but a bit. I’m grateful it makes me feel connected
Today I’m grateful I cleaned Missi cat’s ears, she was not amused. I’m grateful for my lovely cat and dog. I’m grateful I kept the walks short today in this foggy, moist, muddy weather. No motivation to clean a big dog today.
I’m grateful my Christmas decoration looks shiny and lovely, more to come. Does anyone know where the Christmas decoration thread is? I’m too tired to search for it.
I’m grateful for my psychiatrist, it was a good and helpful appointment.
I’m grateful I work on calming down my emotions, they are triggered by tons of gravel and stones along the streetside of the farm. The last stonewall. Tomorrow. Sigh.
I’m grateful for glasses, my eyesight is
I’m grateful I did not need to fire the furnace today, I had zero motivation for it. Grateful for hot water buffers and that they last for 2 days in winter.
I’m grateful for the no bullshittery rule in my life. Sometimes uncomfortable but I’m grateful I speak up for myself and don’t accept being fobbed off with blabla.
I’m grateful for a long nap, I needed it.
I’m grateful

This has been a really good day of personal growth and self realization. The universe works in mysterious ways and it has been working in my favour (Maybe my ego talking).
I’m grateful for the understanding of my wife with my grumpiness this morning. I’m grateful that I am able to recognize it too.
I’m grateful a friend called me on his way to work. We chatted for a bit, he was grump too. He blamed it on the super moon tomorrow, but I found value in knowing I wasn’t the only grumpy one.
I’m grateful for my morning meeting. It’s fun people, with laughter. I always take something away from it. My mood changed very quickly after the meeting started. I’m very grateful for experiencing different feelings and understanding that all feelings come and go.
I was fortunate enough to go to a men’s speaker meeting. The theme was that dads are super heroes to their kids and it’s the kids that make that choice. I was very inspiring, it was truly a story of hope, inspiration and motivation! I’m grateful for the entire experience.
I’m grateful that my AA book came in today. I’m looking forward to getting some reading done tomorrow. I’m grateful that I feel like I’m in a better position for success by physically having the book.
I’m grateful that I’m laying in bed watching a show with my wife. My body and mind feels relaxed. Recapping my day has given me a sense of hope. I’m grateful to be going to bed with a good mindset.
Goodnight everyone!
Ps. It was my night to do the elves, check it out.
