Grateful for the grat pack and all that is shared.
Grateful to be employed and to have all I need.
Grateful for dedicated and wonderful healthcare workers and for all they do.
So very grateful for first responders and the sacrifices they make as they serve others, who are in need.

Happy Birthday to a wonderful you! How cool that you were born on the first day of spring. I am so, so glad "spring has sprung," hearing the birds singing happily and seeing the daffodils up and beaming brightly in my yard. I am crossing fingers there will be no more snow here where I live.

Grateful to be able to let go of the fear, at least for today.

Grateful for another day sober.

I miss Rose! And I also miss seeing Deserto and Daisybelle more but I know I can’t have everyone on here every day

Grateful for the adoption of the dog left in the rain!
Grateful we are headed home tomorrow. Not sure what that is going to look or be like but will be glad to get there.
Grateful for coffee.
Grateful we are going to cook up a turkey that has been in my mom’s freezer for a couple years and have Thanksgiving in March on our last night here.
Grateful for all the people who are NOT hoarding and stockpiling.
Grateful to be sober through it, though being here around my family as well as my hard drinking husband it is definitely a challenge.
Grateful to play with my daughter last night in this food truck in my parents’ driveway. I had to be lots of different characters! My son eventually joined in after first just being more of a menace and firing a fake air gun and rough housing my daughter. He eventually transitioned to being our security guard. Then my husband and I just played chase with them both and they loved it. The weather was beautiful.
Grateful to come here and reflect on all the good with all of you.

Grateful that I am sitting here in bed typing at 9 a.m. on a Thursday.

Grateful that I can take a nap later since I had a terrible night's sleep last night.
Grateful for technology and all the connections it allows!
Grateful that we have plenty of food and supplies in our house without going overboard.
Grateful for a house that's big enough to hide in.
So grateful for SR and this thread!

Grateful the dog was adopted. So awesome!
Glad you got to a meeting, RZ
Happy almost birthday, Aly!
Numblady, I miss Rose and Deserto too and hope they are well. Daisy has been hanging out at the bedtime thread 😊. Your energy always amazes me!
PS, I hope you get a better night sleep soon

Grateful I have finally been sleeping better last few nights
Grateful that if there is another Great Depression, I just can’t imagine it would come close to how bad the first one was with modern society, technology, lessons learned, etc. Regardless, grateful to know that the world will get through this crisis. Whether it’s six months, 18 months, or 10 years, we will rebound and come back stronger.
Grateful to remember what Viktor Frankl said about always having a choice about our own attitudes and behavior
Grateful to slow down
Grateful to be walking this journey with you all and for our online computer family

Fearless, thank you for your inspiring post. We have to remember we will get through this. That really resonated with me, my sober sista.♥
Thank you for the almost happy birthdays! ♥ Maybe Spring falls on the 19th this year, because we had leap year. Not sure. No wonder I never know when the first day of Spring is, some years it's my bday.
I miss our friends too. Last we heard from Hevyn, who I miss on a couple/few threads, she was having internet problems. Prayers, love and peace to those who can't get on SR for some reason and that they are safe and sober. Rose hasn't been around for a while or Deserto. Hoping they're ok. I did see Daisy somewhere. I think the poor woman is just exhausted.♥
Rusty, glad to hear you sounding so well. I hope you are feeling well and things are progressing as they should. Love, peace and prayers to you, my dear friend!
Grateful for our SR friend who come to mean so much to us.♥

Grateful to be here today - missed you all yesterday.
Aly - 'puter still acting up - must replace it. A dinosaur at only 5 yrs. old I suppose.
Least - Thrilled to hear of the happy ending for that sweet boy. Thank you for helping him!
Zip - I remember when my Breakfast of Champions was something different. Not sure how I justified that.
Grateful to catch up on all the posts.
Grateful for sun and the threat of snow less & less.
Grateful to have ventured out yesterday to buy essentials. No TP or bread anywhere.
Grateful for kindness, patience, resilience, & the knowledge that we'll come out of this & thrive again.

Happy Bday Aly! I feel like I may be messing up the day but happy Bday whenever it is! Sorry that it’s under this strange cloud of the virus but may you find a way to mark the occasion that is special and reflects back on how you spent the last sober calendar year.

Grateful I haven’t cracked. Hard to explain the pressures of work right now but they are immense.
Grateful for our strange pop up celebration of Thanksgiving in March with my mom’s old turkey. Which I cooked and which ended up being quite dry and not great But hey! It had been in the freezer a long time so I’m going to blame that for some of it.
Grateful for improvisation when ordinary ingredients are not immediately available.
Grateful for the chance to be a kinder person today than I was yesterday.
Grateful for bonding in the trenches.
Grateful for all of you.
