I’m grateful for:

1. Heading towards sober day 4, I will again put my head on my pillow sober tonight.

2. Getting back into reading books. The Luckiest Club does a book club and we’re discussing Braiding Sweetgrass, which looks fascinating (starting it after this post).

3. An excellent morning trail run in the woods. I met 3 beautiful dogs and had lovely chats with their people before carrying on with my run. Not buggy either

4. Having a very different perspective on life. Recently as some minor hassles have arisen, a fresh perspective has arisen concurrently with them, which allowed me to stay in presence and not get bogged down by them. Staying in flow I guess.

5. My silly dogs chasing each other around the yard, playing with sticks and digging holes

@Hoss

we’re discussing Braiding Sweetgrass

One of my all time favorites after reading it this spring/summer. Enjoy!

[RosaCanDo]

I’m grateful for:

• Really effective air conditioning on this 100 deg day (feels like 112, and unusual for Northern Iowa/Illinois where I live)
• The ability to stay inside during excessive heat warnings and take care of my migraine-y head yesterday and today
• Getting a few household chores done including fresh linens on the bed
• The sweetest letter/drawing from my almost 4 year old niece sent to me by my dad and a plan to send one back. Pen pals!
• The weekend approaching and plans to dig deep with my husband and knock out some major unpacking, sorting and putting away of things. And that we can do these things together.

[Hoss]

I can’t put it down! It’s heartbreakingly beautiful.

[RosaCanDo]

I’m grateful for:

• Kicking my own butt this morning and getting some work done
• The few hours of light but steady rain that we enjoyed this morning, including some (short lived) cooler temps
• Finally a break in the heat tomorrow!!! And possibly some light landscaping to beautify the front of our home
• Planning for a long awaited camping trip next week for a couple nights followed by a long weekend. It will be a much needed vacation for us to enjoy together
• Gathering boxes and bags of good items to donate (and declutter!)

I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful to be back home in my own apartment. Found that my charges will be decreased by 85 Euro per months. How cool is this.
I am grateful for my neighbours and chatting with them.
I am grateful I made it through the past 5 months of adventure-like experience. Not really adventure but still.

-the new döner in my village… its turkish street food but this one took it up to another level with the ingredients quality and freshness… hats off

-stopping myself from ruminating, worrying, feeling guilty for several times today, at home and at work

-reading your replies to my posts and your understanding, connection and support through them

• laughing. with others, about others and about me

-all the things, skills, knowledge we can obtain through the Internet. Languages, cooking, crafting… the worlds limitless curiosity is at our disposal 24/7

Love to everybody, one day at a time.

Today I’m grateful for:

1. Sleeping in a little this morning, doggos only slightly late for daycare lol;

2. Changing my reactivity to rude/bad drivers, now instead of being annoyed/pissed off I just say (don’t laugh ), peace be with you. It really works!

3. 4.46 days sober as of right now

4. Getting some photos from the builder of our new house in New Mexico, it’s really coming along nicely

5. The sweet old cat at doggy daycare, she lets me hold her and she purrs like crazy, it’s so comforting

Thanky for:

-having been to a restaurant with my family even though they are all obsessed with discussing politics while the only thing I care about is fiction

-having a strong breakfast everyday so I don’t fall over at work

-having somehow gained a lot of weight in just a few days but being chill with it (used to hate myself when I gained, now i take it super easy… still have to lose it though :^)

-stopping rumination… its constantly attacking but im almost constantly deflecting. who’s the fool now

-making progress accepting my imperfections, insecurities, embarrassing moments, failures, all the uncomfortable stuff… im no longer on my ass about everything. I take it easy and let everything go. Go with the windddd
