Iā€™m grateful for:

  • finding out our new bed/mattress will be delivered on Friday afternoon! Only two more sleeps on the foam bed on the floor!
  • feeling like Iā€™ve gotten over a hump and through the overwhelm that was causing me to procrastinate on house chores and unpacking.
  • seeing progress in my spaces with a better attitude
  • a cloudy and cooler day today while I was working hard, a break in the heat and humidity
  • the roof over my head, the material items that I am rediscovering and organizing, my ability to let things go and donate to those in need, and my easy access to nature right outside my back door.

So much to be grateful for and Iā€™m glad I am intentionally connecting to gratitude everyday.

Hi, all. Before I start my list I thought Iā€™d share something interesting I heard. I was watching this career coach on You Tube and he was talking about how to maintain a positive attitude when youā€™re job hunting and dealing with a lot of rejection and disappointment. One thing he highly recommended was keeping a daily Gratitude Journal. So it seems like this is a useful tool for all aspects of life, in addition to addiction and recovery. I know Iā€™ve been seeing a difference in my own outlook on things for sure. ā€œThe power of positive thinkingā€, indeed! OK, here we goā€¦

Grateful for our early morning coffee ritual every dayā€¦for the last 20 years.
Grateful for having some ā€œMe timeā€ yesterday.
