What are you celebrating today?
I believe that every day I need to look around me and find something to celebrate - some small thing to be grateful for, even on the worst of days.
Today, I can look around and see several things to be grateful for. My funny little legs, which have carried me for seven straight days of walking for an hour each morning, part of my renewed effort to lose weight. The fact that the basil in my mini-garden is ready to harvest. My AB found a new job - just for today, he'll have an income.
What are you celebrating today? What one small thing can you look at and smile, just for today?

Great thread!
Today, I celebrate the health of my kids and family and friends. My dog. My kids playing their sports. My husband totally addicted to, loving, and looking forward to coaching our son‘s football team.
I even celebrate my dust bunnies. They remind me that nothing is or should be perfect!
I celebrate the fact that I can find many things to celebrate, if I just spend one moment thinking about it!

I am celebrating a change in wind direction. 
All last week the air here was thick with smoke from wildfires. Today, the air is clear and the sky is blue! Yeah!
Also, ssshhhhhhhhhhhh, I believe I will also be celebrating something BIG later on today, but don't want to say anything until it's for sure.

Everyday I celebrate the fact that I have the greastest hubby in the world. I spoke with my son this week-end which will make this week a little easier. I know he's working and says he's OK!!! I want to believe him. The weather here is fantastic and not so heavy with humidity so I got to get out in the gardens. Life is good~~~~~today!!

Rode my bike to work today- and it didn't rain!
My lovely daughter- everyday I am grateful for her.
My crazy Jack Russell- he keeps me busy.
I have "nothing" to do tonight but make earrings with dd, eat dinner on the porch overlooking my garden, ice cream. . . whatever I want!
p.s.- I am dying of curiosity LTD- hope whatever it is that is BIG works out for you!

My 3 older kids....they are such support for their mommy.
My baby. Her smile brightens my day and there is nothing I wouldn't do for her.
My mom. She loves me unconditionally even though my life is one drama after the other.

Today, let's see....
It's wonderful because it's here and I can see it, and yes, Anvil, summer has made a renewed appearance in Seattle.
My dog is partway on my toes and she loves me so much!
My husband is committed to sobriety (at least for now) and my house is feeling the beginnings of what some other houses probably have always had..... peace.
All three of my daughters are here at home with me right now, a first in 9 months.
I've recommitted myself to SR to post at least 1X daily the things that are GOOD in my life (so thanks for the thread, cuz I'm done for today!)! It's too easy to focus on the bad.
Have a great day all!

I am grateful for being on day 58 drug-free
for allowing my kids to have a drug-free mother
for the smile on my husbands face when he looks at me
There are so many things I am grateful for, that is just the beginning!!

My return to SR
I celebrate my return to SR and the time I got to read and enjoy the sunshine poolside on a lounge chair today.
...and this post because I may not have thought to celebrate anything otherwise.

Doin' a little dance for everybody. There's always something to celebrate, and those little celebrations give us strength to stand up to....to....well, all that stuff we wish we DIDN'T have to deal with.
I'm celebrating the rain here......a month of awful heat, and finally it's coming down in buckets, washing the dust off everything and cool air in the windows......sigh, so nice.....and free!
p.s. LTD......any updates?

I am very grateful that even tho Tropical Storm Edouard is heading in our direction, possibly to be a Hurricane before landfall - our AD is NOT in jail and we don't have to have concerns about what happens to inmates during a Hurricane/evacuation.

I am celebrating the light tropical breezes in the trees - and while I don't wish this on anyone else (especially not you, Japic05!), I am happy Edouard is aiming further west along the coastline!
