Grateful my daughter and husband drove his daughter to start college down south. It is a big moment for everyone. Glad they sent me a great picture.
Grateful i used store credit (from donating used books at the book store ) today to buy gifts.
Grateful I juiced tonight for the first time. The apple, carrots and fresh spinach made a delicious juice! I was afraid I wouldn't like it but I loved it. Grateful fruits and veggies will no longer go to waste in my home.
Grateful for some tips on handling social anxiety today.
Grateful for all of you.

Grateful that the anxiety we woke with is gone. Mr Marcher has hurdled two big jumps lately -- his heart and prostate -- and he's come through the other side. Grateful we will have an early night and face a "normal" weekend.

Grateful for fresh fruit and veggies and their brilliant juice. I fear I am obsessed with juicing! Lol
Grateful I am slowly learning to care for myself better.
Grateful sobriety is what carries me to each little landmark.

Grateful to be back home from a trip to Chicago to get my son started in his first year of college.
Grateful my wife ended up pulling through a very emotional experience from getting our son off. She awoke early on Fri morning in the hotel room in Chicago crying uncontrollably and kneeling on her knees rocking back and forth. I thought she was having a nervous breakdown.
She had just remembered she had forgotten to pack our son's comforter, bed cushion, and pillows to his college dorm bed and was screaming what a terrible mom she was and that she was going to drive back 5 hours home (metro Detroit) to get it and then drive 5 hours back to the college in Chicago.
I had to hug her and calm her down for several minutes that it was going to be okay and it's not near a big of a deal as she was making it out to be and that there's no way she's driving back home to get the bed stuff.
Grateful I convinced her we could just drive to a Bed Bath & Beyond store on the way to the college to buy what we needed for his bed.
Grateful we moved all his stuff from our car to his college dorm and met his roommate.
Grateful he's living his dream of going to an out of state college and to play college football.
Grateful that tears welled up in my eyes as we said our final good bye to him and that I hugged him and told him I loved him.
Grateful we had a safe drive back home.

Hey Unc, it gets easier the second year. I still get wistful but man am I ever proud of my son. This year he's renting a house with a couple guys from his triathlon team. My ex and I got him moved in, it's exciting for everyone to watch our kids mature like this.
Grateful for our children and the wise decisions they make.

Grateful that I now have a lovely little quiet room, away from the tv, with all of my books to hand and a cup of peppermint tea. This is heaven!
Grateful that most of the laundry is washed, dried and put away.
Grateful for my comfy bed, which I will migrate to in about 30 minutes.
Sleep well everyone.
