Least, I too am compulsively punctual! If I'm ever late, I'm horrified.

Praying that all is well with Daisy and I hope she's fine.

Grateful that I don't have meetings downtown today, I'd prefer a day at my office.

Hi Citrus! Good to see you.
Grateful for my CBT group this morning.
Grateful for lunch at a neighbor's home today, with her, another friend, and her husband. It was nice and no one was much of a drinker, so I didn't think about it much at all.
Grateful for my nice walk with Luke.
Grateful for all of you. Love and peace. ♥♥♥

Sounds like you had a great time, Daisy
Grateful to see Stella Blu
Grateful for other early birds. My motto is it’s better to be 20 min early than 5 min late. Lol. I get anxious when I am just on time because it’s too close to being late
Grateful for Universal Express pass
Grateful that butter beer does not actually have beer or any alcohol in it
Grateful to try a ****** donut! This one had vanilla frosting with crushed butterfinger (my fav childhood candy bar) on top. I rarely have such treats now.
Grateful that some things are ok in moderation. Alcohol will never be one of them, in my case, and I’m grateful for that too.
Grateful for nice weather
Grateful to remember plans and where I’m putting everything. When I was drinking, especially on vacation, I’d forget so much - flight times, where I placed my room key, my wedding ring, etc.
Grateful to be going to bed sober

Grateful for my OCD most of the time, yep I'm also a believer in being early.

Grateful for a Stella sighting! Love and peace to you, my dear!! ♥♥♥
Grateful for a somewhat restful day. I'm trying to rest my back for my shift at 9:30 am at the ARF thrift store, which pays for the vet bills. Praying my back holds up. Considering the doctors haven't given me anything for pain, I'm trying to be the best I can be within my limits. Kind of goes back to boundaries. Grateful I'm learning to be more comfortable with boundaries.
Grateful for lunch with mom. Grateful for my walk with Luke, but with all of the noises lately, he is very wary.
Grateful for all of you. Have a wonderful, sober evening. ♥♥♥

Grateful that I rarely think about drinking anymore. Grateful that when I get the odd thought of it, it's like "yuck"!

Me too, least. Yuck! 🤢
Yes, thinking of you too, Aly.
Thank you, Daisy. It is good to be back home. But I always get a little sad after a vacation.

Grateful the patio furniture order arrived today and husband set everything up. Patio and yard is looking less higglidy piggeldy. Not that there is anything wrong with that if that is the look one is going for. I realized, though, that part of the higgeldy piggeldy look was more of a reflection in my case of my drinking days where I just didn’t care about maintaining things because I was drunk or hungover. I want everything to look beautiful now. I want the flowers to grow so I care for and water them. I wipe away cob webs, sweep away the leaves, etc. There are still some mismatched things but I like the word hodgepodge with a little bohemian better
Grateful husband is cooking dinner and working on replicating the yummy spicy shrimp tempura we had on vacation
Grateful that I did a little work today. I know I shouldn’t because I’m on vacation, but I know I will feel better officially coming back Monday not being completely swamped
Grateful for my son’s connection with the cats. It’s so adorable!
Grateful for all of you!
