Grateful I thought of a way to get out the penny that I dropped down the garbage disposal without having to take it apart. I sucked the penny up with the vacuum hose! Lol

Grateful to slip and slide with the dog, walking along the icy veneer on top of the snow. I laughed out ooud at how funny he looked.

Grateful to watch the sun set with the ice and snow reflecting it beautifully.

grateful band2 landed the AA IG Valentine dance gig

I've heard about a zillion explanations of what "cross-talk" and none of them applied really. Then the person told me she really meant I was breaking someone's anonymity, which I wasn't doing either, so it was just a misunderstanding. Glad your gig went off alright, RZ!

Grateful for remembering how I used to shake and shiver going to parties until I got enough alcohol in me. Yes, I am also definitely an alcoholic. I forget this because I never had alcohol withdrawals. I was remembering the FEAR I lived in for decades, even up until about a year & a half ago. Glad I remember because it makes me even more...

Grateful I don't have to live in fear anymore. Hallelujah!!

Love and hugs,
Eddie

Grateful that today, my ninth day of sobriety, I did not feel any anxiety at all. I am thoroughly enjoying this feeling!

Grateful to have a lovely, warm house, and grateful to have several books to read when I finally crawl into bed tonight!

Grateful:

For connecting and opening up.
For a massage.
For different ways of looking at the same thing.
For more letting go of attachment, grasping, clinging, and expectations.

For enjoying silence.

For a bed to rest my bag of bones.

For another day alive.

Grateful that, even though a kitchen re-organisation took me five hours instead of the expected two, I bit the bullet and got on with it, I didn't whinge. Ah, sobriety equanimity.
Grateful that I now have all my cooking and baking supplies completely organised for when I go back to work.
Grateful for the time to do this.

uncle holmes

Grateful to look for gratitude in any situation.

Grateful to have the whole weekend off (Sat & Sun) even though it means less money and enjoy and appreciate extra free time.

It also means much needed rest and recovery for my mind and body and allows more free time to open up my mind and getting in touch with my creativity, which I've always considered a strong point of mine.

Grateful to also work on some Saturdays because it means more money.

Astro

Grateful for an afternoon fishing with my son, even though we didn't catch anything. Any day fishing is a good day!

EternalQ

Grateful for a splendid walk in the snow with the dog. Grateful we went up into the 40sºF in the daytime today. I'm worried for the people in prolonged freezing conditions in the West and Midwest.

Grateful to clean out the fridge, clean out the hall closet, and tidy up the patio.

Grateful to admit I have more to confront in myself.... and playing Candy Crush is not going to get me there. Grateful I deleted the game off my phone. Even if it leaves me holding some uncomfortable feelings with no addiction to distract me from them.

Grateful Season Four of Downton Abbey starts tonight! I'm a happy geek.

eddie z.

Good for you, EQ!! Sometimes we need distractions, but I confess my video streaming and Rock Band drumming were out of hand at times and kept me isolated. Glad I have found moderation with these things and can "use" them appropriately.

Thank you, God, for getting me back to one of my old NA home groups. It was great to see old friends and to share my immense GRATITUDE.

Thank you also for helping me bite my tongue when I went to lunch with friends who couldn't seem to put their smartphones away and in other situations today in which I was tempted to snap. Glad to know I don't have to judge, and that if I do judge, I can keep it to myself.

Love and hugs,
Eddie
Happy Kings' Day, y'all!!

Grateful to feel calm and tired in the evening, looking for my comfy pants & t @ 8:30 rather than a bottle. To be able to fall asleep peacefully at night at a decent hr. Reflecting on a day well lived and looking forward to tomorrow.

grateful i only slipped on the ice, and not the booze

FLBeachGuy

Grateful:
For my first neutral or level day in a very long time.
For having motivation back to work on the garden, pool, and deck projects.
For living another day and having some peace in my heart.

For the SR community and especially the morning and bedtime gratitude threads. It's helps so much sharing, writing and reading.

For a bed to rest in.

Marcher13

Be careful Rusty!

Grateful for a happy contented holiday day.
Grateful that I am still doing a few useful things as well as holidaying because I have a better attitude these days.
Grateful for a cool evening which will make sleep easier to obtain.

Astro

Grateful that I will make it through today, no matter what, because all days come to an end.

EternalQ

Grateful for a friend at work who is very supportive.
Grateful that I know struggle and fear is actually progress, because avoidance will get me nowhere.
Grateful to hope tomorrow will be better.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!

Saturday evening into Sunday evening we got 10 inches of snow.

As of this early Monday evening the temperature is minus -11 degrees Fahrenheit, wind gusts 33 mph, and wind chill minus -39 degrees. And it's going to get colder through out the night. I'm about 7 miles north of Detroit.

Grateful to be in a warm house with a roof over my head.

eddie z.

Take good care and stay warm, Uncle!! I was just talking to a Program friend in Wisconsin and I'm grateful I'm not there or where you are, although I wouldn't mind some snow...

Grateful for realizing the value of cultivating "spiritual principles" of childlike-ness — fun, play, curiosity, open-mindedness, wonder, and awe.

And grateful for becoming a NICER person, a KINDER person, every day. Glad God has given me this gift to share with others. I feel so much better!

Love and hugs and WARMTH (except for y'all in Oz),
Eddie
