Grateful that I am remembering how to write blog posts that are clear, concise and entertaining.
Grateful that I smashed through a barrier today, I realised that I am not who I thought I was, I am better than that.
Grateful that, if I have to be an alcoholic, I can be a sober one.

Grateful for the busy days even though I'm sore and worn out. Grateful to know I'll probably sleep well tonight.

Grateful for google! Felt rubbish today. Anxiety, fear and stress.

I googled stress relief and it said you have to work at your own stress relief. You have to learn to relax and slow down.

I said I will have have a bath, so I did. I put on a twenty minute mindfulness meditation and I got into it. I felt great afterwards.

I think I can do this!

Grateful for the warmer weather that made it possible to walk my dogs. It's been two weeks since they've been walked and we all have cabin fever.

Grateful for giving my nutritionist goosebumps when I was sharing with her about all the AMAZING things in my life today. She has seen me through so much, so much change.

And grateful for Chelsea Roff.

Oh my gosh, I was so moved by this last set of posts. Too many to single one out! Truly beautiful.Thanks guys.

Grateful for the beginnings of a plan in my mind as to proceed in my career. Grateful to make a plan where I am not at the mercy of others, but can take action for myself. A plan in my mind is a start! Lol

Grateful my girlfriend is finally taking off to have a knee replacement. She will be out a long time and my job will be harder for me when she is out, but I'm so relieved she is finally getting it done.

Grateful -I think?- that the last two nights I've been tired when I got home and took naps. Though I dont want it to go on like this for long, grateful to sneak some extra rest in and not just be wired all night.

Grateful to have a new book to read. The Sixth Extinction. It's startling but well written.

Grateful that I appreciate my new therapist after initially thinking she was not for me. Grateful for a session today that helped us get to know each other. I find her easy to talk to and she is making room for me to see her more often that she has to.

Grateful I remembered a troubled teenage boy I used to know in a prayer the other day. He turned up outside my condo today looking haunted and lonely. I spoke with him for a bit, gave him a hug, told him I was praying for him. Caught me off guard and kind of upset me a little, but I am glad I prayed for him out of the blue and will continue to do so. I found the sequence of events with this kid I haven't seen in over a year surprising and a little other-worldly.

Grateful for a small, but thoughtful gift from someone I recently met at church. I was touched.

Going to bed with 22 days. My wife is by my side, my dogs on the bed (hogging the room), my cat pattering around, my son safe. I have a job that appreciates me that I will go to tomorrow, only after going to my 6:45am home group meeting.

Truly grateful.

Grateful to see our new and old gratees.
Like EQ I'm grateful for a great batch of posts -- I love reading everyone's gratitude & being inspired by you as well as seeing your growth.
Grateful to say good night as some of you wake, some of you eat lunch and some of you, like me, go to sleep.
