Grateful for the detour on the interstate that got me onto the back roads.
Grateful for lilacs, cherry trees, dogwoods, apple trees and azaleas, all blooming at peak now.
Ended up going on Rte 40, which took me through the heart of farm country.

Grateful for the beautiful area I live in and thankful to own a home - something I thought would never happen for me.

Grateful for the memory of my brother, who crossed my mind quite frequently today. Grateful the memories have turned to the happier memories instead of my last memories.

Live life to the fullest, guys, it's all too friggin' short.....

Have a good night.....

Grateful for these grats.
Gratefully
Good night

Grateful to stay out of other people’s drama and not create my own by drinking.

Grateful for a peaceful day, great super, and quite family time... now some me time, reading a great book.

Have a wonderful sleep everyone!

Grateful for podcasts...I belonged to a phenomenal church a few years backk and have never found one that can come close...now I can watch on my iPad:)

Grateful to learn it's a girl, she's gloriously average, and her Mom can finally feel her dancing around.

Grateful to be sober and present for this.

Grateful to work with people I respect. Grateful for my sweet dog. Good night!

Grateful the first of the tasty red watermelns appeared...:yup:

Not our local Ga. ones..it's months to early but the produce man said they were from Texas.....Yummy!


Night everyone...:wave:

Super-congratulations of quitting smoking, IO!! I went through that and it sucks, but you're past the worst for sure.

And Sneezy, I relate to the stuff about your dad. Mine seems to be developing some dementia and he gets so frustrated and escalated over the littlest things these days.

CArol, MMMmmmm....watermelon!!

GRateful for a helpful sort of mini phone session with my home therapist this morning. He knows me too well to let me get away with my usual M.O., even from a great distance.

And grateful for a "successful" lunch out with the group from the treatment center today. I accepted a challenge rather than playing it safe and it turned out pretty well. VEry encouraging.

Nighty-night, folks!
Love and hugs,
Eddie :brain

Grateful for feeling grateful throughout the day :)

Grateful for fresh rubber on the motorcycle, a new rear tire! :wild

Grateful today to do all our laundry. Some do not have clothing. Grateful to vacuum today. Some do not have a home...just plain grateful!

Love this, IO - really helps me think about the ways I've been blessed :hug:

I am so so grateful tonight ....

I thought I had really screwed something up at work and I've been worried about it for weeks now. Well, today, my prayers were answered. The problem went away ... POOF! (I'll spare you the long explanation - suffice it to say, someone with power changed their mind :) )

YEE-HOOOOOOOOOOOO!

And thank you God, so so much for looking out for me. I won't make that mistake again!

This is great news Sneezy... I can feel your relief in your message.

Grateful for my comfy dog-hair-covered bed.:) Grateful to live in a safe place. Grateful for good neighbors.:)

Honesty time people.

I had "the talk" with the husband. Told him that my truth is that alcohol is a problem for me and that I am now a non-drinker. Not just taking a break because of training for a race. He is completely normal about alcohol. He doesn't know about my shame and how my drinking was increasing.

He said: That sounds good. Do you want me to stop drinking? Because I will if that will help you.

Oh my goodness, I am so grateful for this good man.

Admire you for laying it on the table, Frances -

and what a great response from your guy! Happy for you both!

Grateful for the extra good vibes on here tonight...especially that things went well for Sneeze at work and Frances with hubby

Grateful for quiet peaceful evenings with the family
