I am grateful that the neuropathy pain in my hands and feet wasn't too bad today. I have good days and bad days, but I have had two good days in a row, and for that, I am extremely grateful.

Ya know, that's exactly how they feel! For the first time in about 10 years I can walk with my toes facing forward and my right foot didn't go numb last night from pinched nerves!

Daisy, Astro got his insoles and although there's going to be some initial discomfort for a couple weeks while my feet learn to curve over the arch I'm very confident in their effectiveness. For now I'm walking much slower but my legs and feet are straighter. Yay!

Grateful for good insurance, initially I had been told I had to pay out of pocket for these but it looks like my provider might cover them.

Thank you Least. x

Great work MJ1987, you can do this, good to have you with us.

Thank you Mags.

Thanks Astro for keeping me posted. It all sounds very positive and it will be excellent if your insurance provider does cover the cost. Fingers crossed.

Grateful for another sober Friday night.
Grateful to be listening to some old music Mr D.B is playing, Todd Rundgren, Daryl Hall, it's really good.
Grateful for the lovely sunshiny day it's been today.
Grateful to have eaten healthily all day.
Grateful my g.son is safe in bed upstairs.
Grateful to read about Fearless's Sonny boy's first day at school, he's hilarious, he'll go far with that sense of humour Really made me LOL.
Grateful that Least has reminded me of how important gratitude is in my life too. It's the very thing that keeps me on the straight and narrow. There is always, always something to be grateful for.
Grateful that Suki has had two good days in a row, I'm praying for a hat trick.
Grateful Astro got HIS insoles and he is feeling confident in their effectiveness.
Grateful to have started painting 2 pebbles tonight, so therapeutic.
Grateful to each and every one of you for your kind words and support. xx

Mr D.B is playing, Todd Rundgren,
Oh, I love Todd Rundgren! Grateful that others have the same good taste in music as I do.

Tonight I am grateful that I don't drink anymore, nor have any desire to drink.

Grateful to have had a good yet extremely tiring shift at ARF. Grateful to be a part of such a great place. Thankful for all of the resources they have.
Grateful to be tired from physical activity and not from drugs or alcohol.
Grateful to be sober.
Least, I love that song by Todd R. Thank you.
Daisy, I am praying for your step grand daughter. No one should have to deal with a husband like that. She is very lucky to have maybe 1 or 2 people like you in her life, otherwise she'd probably never get a break. I hope her health issue is better. Such a worry. I've been worried about her. I am praying she is well. All my love Daisy to you and your family. ♥
All my love to everyone posting here. ♥ This is more like I imagine a nice, kind, supportive family. Definitely something I didn't grow up with.
Grateful for all of you so very much.
Love and peace to anyone suffering or struggling tonight. ♥♥♥

So grateful I heard the song by Todd Rundgren, who until today had never heard of. I’ll be listening to more later. I love YouTube for that.
Thanks Daisy and least.
Grateful for another day gone by sober.
Grateful for all of you. ❤️

Grateful Least reminded me of Todd. Here's Todd at Daryl's House, which I believe Mr. DB is/was watching.

Loved reading these posts, Todd performed where I work a few months ago and my daughter got to guard stage left. In a couple of days we have Ringo Starr performing, it will be the first time I get to see a Beatle perform live!

Grateful for some down time this morning before I run off to work an event, I just want to cook my wife breakfast and relax a bit.

Grateful to be sober and grateful Suki is here.
Grateful for my volunteer work that I really like at ARF.
Grateful for all of you and grateful that gratitude is my best tool for staying sober.♥♥♥

Fearless I'm sorry today was a rough day, may tomorrow be better.

Grateful for this reminder to express gratitude.

Suki, grateful you've had a few good days without pain.

Grateful for my strength and health, it enabled me to help hubby plant 15 boxwood shrubs today, felt accomplished.

P.S. I love Todd R. too

Thank you for your kind words. Ups and downs again today. I know it will pass. I. Grateful things aren’t worse. Things could be so much worse. I have a supportive spouse. Son has lots of great qualities. Just going through a rough patch. He has a good therapist if that is needed again
Grateful for the discussion of music here
Grateful to have painted some pebbles today too, Daisy
Grateful for each of you
Grateful to go to bed sober

(((Fearless))) I'm sorry your life is turbulent right now. I will keep you in my prayers for peace of mind and strength.


Tonight I am grateful for another day with Billie. I used to say that about Jack, when I knew his time was short. Billie probably has another 10 yrs if her health stays good. She's 5 now.

(((Fearless)))

I'm grateful for this calm and peaceful morning. Have to run my bride to the airport again but we're not in a huge rush, it was nice to have coffee and a bite to eat.
