Gratitude thread

I am grateful for my son. And my health. I see so much illness & sadness in my work, so it makes me thankful to be well. I’m also thankful for this site and the amazing folks I’m meeting here.
Another side note: I have been very sad that I have no videos or voice recordings etc of my mum. I lost her to pancreatic cancer a few years ago. A coworker asked for a recipe I had and I was searching a keyword in my inbox. A thread of emails came up from mum, back when she was first diagnosed. They brought lots of emotions, tears, etc but I realized how lucky I was to at least have those typed words of hers :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Grateful for the 25 pounds I’ve lost. The hard work I’ve put in being sober. And the results. Grateful to have a clear head in the morning before my coffe as I feed my 4 cats and 2 dogs with a smile. No hangovers. Health. Just generally feeling good. Flexibility. Walking my dogs. And grateful for this app to write my gratitude list ever day.

For setting boundaries with my friend this morning. Basically the original plan was to take the train to Sacramento but because his sister-in-law decided to buy a car out of nowhere they were going to send that old car up to Sacramento for one of my friend’s brother to drive but that would mean I’d have to drive up because my friend works night shift and he worked last night and I’m not feeling good still I’m extremely tired and if I drive we could potentially get into a car accident

For dinner last night with Curtis for his birthday

I guess for somewhat of a clear mind to deal with this enormous stressor in my life at the moment (trying to remind myself to put one foot in front of the other and not overwhelm myself and also remind myself that I’m in the situation because of my previous choices)

To visit my dad today although I kind of vented to him or more like vented at him :disappointed::disappointed:

I guess also for the first time using those electric scooters on the streets. I think i am getting older because it frightened me how fast it was going. But it was exciting and fun

To breathe in and feel all this uncomfortable feelings and know it will pass
