Dang it…I keep getting out of practice with this thread…back in the saddle I go:

  1. The long weekend ahead

  2. Going out to dinner w my husband after a long work week

3.Epsom salt baths

4.my new coworkers and their attitudes that are lovely to be around

  1. My seemingly new found ability to handle stress and anxiety better than I could previously (not sure if it’s the lack of caffeine these many months, pregnancy causing hormonal shifts, or maybe all the ā€œinner workā€ I’ve been doing for the last many years buuuuut…………I WILL TAKE IT!!)

Thanks for bumping this thread!
Lots to be grateful for.

  • Tons of support from loving and knowledgeable, experienced people as we journey through another big life change.
  • A very successful nap after some sleepless nights.
  • Green things popping up everywhere, finally!
  • Quality alone time with my thoughts and meditations.
  • Stability during uncertainty. A major source of that stability comes from being in recovery.
