Monday evening gratitude

my renters moved out and left the house in decent shape inside

my aunt has a great landscaping guy that can tidy up the yard as my renters let everything grow wild.

for my families support

was able to see and briefly talk with some of my old neighbors

Irrigation system valve was not faulty and the tech did not charge me to re- blow out the sprinklers.

Today I am grateful for:

  • being sober, 32 days and today
  • community (TS and refuge recovery, sangha)… So, a community that understands me. That doesn’t question if I realy (!) drank too much. I was in hell. And nobody out of this circle noticed. So I am grateful for understanding and support!
  • nature and feeling more energized
  • pool availability in my area
  • moving soon

Hey guys,

I just saw this thread and thought it was a good one to follow and contribute to.

In no particular order, 5 things I am grateful for today:

  • Being sober (alcohol) for over 8 weeks
  • The miracle of greatly-improved physical health and fitness, thank you Lord!
  • The gift of greatly-improved mental health since I became sober, which considering my past issues is an absolute miracle
  • The loyalty and support of my family and friends
  • The joy I am getting from finally taking time out to work on creative projects after years of having little joy in anything I did

Thanks and I look forward to reading more of your gratitude lists, I hope they bring you peace and healing.

Encouragement and blessings from Australia :heart: :koala: :kangaroo: :sunny:
