I am grateful for another opportunity provided by today of becoming the person my dog thinks I am.

Grateful to be sober.
Grateful for the Grat pack.
Grateful to be applying what I’ve learned from sobriety in the manner of ‘one day at a time’ to get through the present challenges.

Sending love to anyone struggling

Sunpeng, so glad you are cancer free in addition to being sober for so long
SnoozyQ, Australia is such a beautiful country! My husband and I were blessed to travel there (Sydney and Brisbane) many years ago. You guys are probably naturally already more socially (physically)distant than we all are, which is good for the numbers.
Numblady, I love the stories you share about the time you spend with your kids. You are a much better parent than you give yourself credit for
Grateful I did my own pedi mani finally. Nail salons are t going to be opening up anytime soon
Grateful to go for a two hour walk in the refreshing rain with a close friend yesterday wearing masks and trying to stay distant. We wanted to hike but surprisingly (or not) the park rangers are now monitoring the open space/trails and limiting use.
Grateful Mr. F is going to BBQ Beyond Burgers tonight. Love them!
Grateful for Enya music
Grateful for the trampoline. Also may be ordering an indoor gym set up which has a doorway swing, ladder and other stuff
Grateful to spend a great deal of time putting together a lesson plan for sonny boy for next week and beyond. He will be on Spring break with no camp and no activities. We are now told school is likely to be closed with distance learning for the rest of the year. The teacher recognizes that some kids need more challenge but is only leaving it up to the parents based on the district’s recommendations. Grateful to commiserate with the friend I walked with (sonny boys BFF’s mom) and agree this is not good and they definitely need more academic stimulation. So we collaborated and worked on a lesson plan with special projects and things to do all supported by the teacher.
Grateful my Dad received his groceries
Grateful the sun is out now

Grateful that today I woke up to 2 years of unbroken sobriety, no hangover, no guilt.
Grateful to love and be loved.
Grateful that I and my family are all well.
Grateful, very grateful that my brother brought me some surgical gloves, masks and a couple of hand sanitizers back from Thailand. Not his usual type of gifts, lol, but I'm delighted with them all the same.
Grateful that the sun is shining this morning.
Grateful that Mr D.B has just brought me a cup of coffee.
Grateful to laugh at the antics of my little cat, not so grateful to see another dead mouse on the back doorstep.
Grateful to read about Numblady's interaction with her children. You're such a good mum N.L. xx
Grateful for SunP''s kind words and grateful that she has 34 yrs sober, wow, I hope to be in that place one day ( I'll be in my 90's lol) . I'm also more than grateful that she is cancer free. That is the best news ever.
Grateful to see Snoozy here and grateful to see that smiling dog.
Grateful Nev has joined the Gratpack. Welcome.
Grateful Fearless is putting together a lesson plan for Sonnyboy. Good idea.
Grateful to read all your grat posts.
Grateful for each and every one of you. I couldn't do this with you. xx

Stay safe and remember to wash your hands. xx

GO DAISY!!!! CONGRATS ON SOBERVERSARY!! Two unbroken years is a beautiful thing.

Grateful to see SnoozyQ and Nez.
Grateful Fearless also got to go to the home nail salon. My daughter did my nails and let me just say it is quite the flashy combo of colors I have going on. Two shades of green, one pink, one turquoise, all in an asymmetrical pattern.
Grateful that in between meltdowns yesterday I did do special time with each kid. My son taught me how to play his video game, and it was so cool in a lot of ways. He wanted me to keep playing even when his friend joined our realm. They worked on building our base while I just kind of went in a circle because I am terrible. They were working on making me a bedroom when I got killed, but it was still fun. And it makes me understand some of the allure of what he is playing and see it’s not as bad as I thought it was. Grateful the boys got a laugh out of me wanting to help the other players.
Grateful for time with my daughter where I let her “drive” the car. Idk. Desperate times. I let her sit on my lap and we both held the steering wheel. Pretty fun, especially driving by other people who were looking at us so funny. To be fair, I only got this idea because my sister then my husband did it.
Grateful to try and let go of worry for my parents. I think my mom really believes that since she’s healthy it would be fine to just get it and then be immune. I’ve always valued her unconventional thought process but now. Is. Not. The. Time!!
Grateful for everyone here and your kind words and uplifting thoughts.

Yay, Daisy! Big congrats!
Numblady, I think my son is too big to sit in my lap driving. I like that creative idea in crazy times like these though. I saw the neighbor drive down the street with their three kids in the back of their pickup truck the other day. Lol
Grateful to just stop in for a quick hi. Busy day and dreading sonny boy being home all week for spring break with Mr F and I working. But grateful for perspective and we will get through it!

Grateful for Daisy's 2 years of sobriety!!!! Huge congrats to my great gal pal.
Grateful for all of you and your wonderful posts.
Grateful to be doing laundry. No matter what is going on, laundry and vacuuming always have to be done. LOL! Trying to do normal stuff. The hardest thing living in condos is that there are SO many people home all the time now. I think we have to work really hard to avoid getting on each others nerves. Some work harder at it than others...♥♥♥
Grateful we are all well. Prayers to stay that way.
Love, health and peace to all.

Congrats Daisy on two years sober! That's great news!

Grateful to be sober and to have gotten the back yard cleaned up of dead grass over the weekend, even if it did a number on my allergies. The grass is looking greener!
