Day 2.
Happy to be at home with my boys today unexpectedly as their daycare had to close. (Not so happy the reason is an outbreak of hand foot and mouth disease )

Also happy my boys are healthy!

Day 2

Thankful for a beautiful warm autumn day and running into a wonderful friend of ours who's a freshman in college now. She recognized DS8 at his climbing class, came over to see me when I picked him up, and volunteered to kid-sit sometime.

Thankful I'm learning how to gather phone numbers, reach out to people and have healthy relationships, instead of self-isolating.

This morning I feel like singing. It finally started getting into my head that being divorced is not such a bad thing after all. I am grateful for not being tied financially to my ex AH, and some really bed financial decisions that he made, and still makes. The weather is beautiful, that autumn colors are amazing, and the world did not collapse on my head after we divorced.

Thankful for my Alanon home meeting this morning, and very grateful for the person who stepped up to chair the Alakid / Alateen meeting today.

Thankful for warm weather.

Day 3-- Grateful for being able to get to an Alanon meeting this morning and to be able to enjoy beautiful fall weather with less anxious energy and focusing more on myself and my own needs in a healthier more genuine way.

#3 - Lemons!! Last Christmas, DD gave me a lemon tree and we planted it in the back corner of our yard. ... which proceeded to flood in the summer rains. We put on high waterproof boots last night & splashed out there to check on it & found 2 or 3 gorgeous baseball sized lemons growing, yay!!!!

Grateful for Sunday and my dog. Adopted him almost a year ago and he grew to be a handsome lad. We are about to go for a walk.

Day 3
The first words out of my three old's mouth when he woke up "it's a beautiful day!"
And it was

Day 4
Well...I'm struggling today.
But when I think back to where I was a year ago... I do see a lot of progress. So I'm so grateful for that!

Grateful and happy for a nice sermon at church today, and a fun day with my girls that included a lot of singing and silliness.

Today I am grateful for and happy that I have been able to devote more time and energy to my friendships. I am rediscovering old friendships, and forming new ones.

I'm also grateful and happy that I'm discovering a new stage of my own recovery. Many people here have discussed learning to "sit with uncomfortable thoughts." That has always been a huge struggle for me, but I'm happy that it's something I can do more easily now.
