I am SO happy for you!

Grateful I got to spend a lot of time outside today tending to flowers and just relaxing. Grateful my dog got to stay outside a lot today too, because the weather was so cool and I was home. That hasn't happened in a long time for him.

Grateful to catch my own self judgements in my head.... sometimes. Grateful when I started feeling depressed this afternoon, I suddenly realized what I had been thinking that would certainly depress me. I hadn't been aware of it, and suddenly, I was. It was so obvious. I made the connection. Grateful I refocused my mind and changed my activity.

Grateful that is only possible through sobriety.
