GypsyHeart

grateful my mom didn't say anything negative when she stopped by today (that was a first)
grateful for being able to open the windows today (probably one of the last times this year for that)
grateful for a relaxing day and a book to look forward to before bed

Astro

Thank you, Carol!

Grateful for a good nights sleep, and fried egg sandwiches for breakfast.

eddie z.

I'm enjoying this, too!

Grateful for PLAYING Scrabble with my oldest friend and NOT once asking the score. I didn't even know she won until after we walked her dog after the game. Imagine learning to play at the age of 45. teehee.

And grateful for being back in my neighborhood for our annual block party. I missed that neighborhood feeling when I was living in the previous place, i.e., that house that was robbed.

N&H,
Eddie

ditto, i had the windows open too for a while, the fresh air is nice....i sometimes will turn the heat off for a while on a warmer winter day, open the windows for a 1/2 hour. i like to "exchange" the stale air too.

grateful for feeling good and liking myself today...much better than hating myself.
grateful that i am not filled with anxiety and depressed.
grateful to remember that i need to schedule a mammogram, i am overdue.

grateful to hear a young kid tonight i met four years ago,

and grateful to hear and see he has turned into a honest and decent young man

GypsyHeart

grateful for the fresh air again today - the cats loved it. the wind just blew and blew, but no rain so far
grateful for my vacuum cleaner (it's a shark)
grateful for online friends checking on me

EternalQ

Grateful i washed my dog and he behaved.
Grateful i didnt hate myself today when i couldnt function. This too shall pass.
Grateful this thread is always here to come back to.

Pondlady

Grateful to be back home, after flying to a family wedding. Grateful to hear hear the sound of falling rain through my open bedroom window.

Grateful for the service people do around here Carol.

EQ I so related to your post when you wrote about "not hating yourself when you couldn't function." I felt that way pretty much all weekend. I managed yesterday to go to my car and get something out of it, and then go to the mail box. Today I didn't even get dressed just vegged out and watched football and slept on & off. But I am so grateful I didn't even think about picking up, or doing other destructive behaviors.

IndaMiricale

Grateful to be able and honest even when it hurts. And so grateful to be here for yet another new BTG...

Sleep well.

Astro

Grateful that my daughter and I could be couch potatoes and watch hours of the Walking Dead marathon, then the season premier together. We had so much fun.

EternalQ

Grateful I had off today. The sun never actually came out today so I never actually felt awake. Did function slightly better than yesterday. I started to straighten or organize in each room. But never finished it in any of them!! : (

Grateful my Dad and brother arrived safely in Missisippi; my brother has taken him on a little trip there for a few days.

Grateful I made plans to meet up with a friend on Thursday morning. (I used to drink with him, & he still drinks so we don't meet in afternoons or evenings. Too intense.)

Sooo grateful for my new bed!! Love diving into it at night!

Very grateful that even on a bad day, my life makes more sense to me now.

Grateful that my K's have their own transportation now.

eddie z.

Grateful for being better at setting boundaries. A friend who is using and suicidal wants me to come over, but I am trying to get someone else to take her to the hospital, like the police or an ambulance. Glad not to let myself get sucked into her chaos.

Also grateful for finally going back to a CoDA (CoDependents Anonymous) meeting. After the insanity with my friend, I needed it.

Love and hugs,
Eddie

GypsyHeart

grateful i made it thru yucky monday at work
grateful for when i went to cvs to get b vitamins... i scanned my store card and out popped a $3 coupon for>>>>CVS vitamins. it gets better -- the b vitamins i found were buy one get one free, there was only one bottle so the girl let me have it for hallf off so they only cost ~$4. i was excited!! haha - yeah it's the little things that trip my trigger!!

grateful (having cats) that i can get away with passing out on the couch. guess work just stressed me out today. and....
grateful i woke up right at 8pm when friday the 13th is coming on - my 2nd favorite scary flick i watch every year in october (i'm such the horror fiend!) first year in many that i've watched it sober!

Rusty Zipper

grateful i have plan A and B as options and workarounds to an ebay issue,

and grateful for those liabilities turned into assets

Panacea

I am grateful to be back on the BTG thread on a new page after a long weekend and day at work.
I am grateful for the conversations with my kids at dinner tonight - which I will remember in the morning and smile.
I am even more grateful for the last black out (@46 days ago), after which I woke up, didn't remember any conversations with the kids, my husband or what we had for dinner -- that scared me/shamed me/made me so sad and brought me to SR and my new life.

Grateful to remember past good times...and let the others slip away.


Good night ..
