Grateful to share my grilled cheese sandwich with Billie. :) She gets a small bite out of each half. She begs so politely, sitting quietly anticipating her snack. :) I am so grateful to share my life with her. :hug:

Least, I hope they get that sorted out soon. I'm sure it's very frustrating, we are at our wits end with the State trying to get our tax refund .

Grateful for anything we have right now because there are so many who are getting by or struggling with much, much less.

Grateful for my friendships here.Grateful for Least's devotion and kindness to the less fortunate of some of God's creatures. :love: Grateful they found least!
Grateful for Daisy's sweet, kind and thoughtful posts. Hope all is well, my dearest one. :hug:
Fearless, Astro, Buttermarsh, love that you are all posting. :)Grateful that all is well here, as far as I know, anyway. Luke is annoyed that I'm spending too much time on my computer instead of him, which he's right. I have to do something about that very soon! He's getting a little pushy about his likes and dislikes...LOL. Who would've thought?? :lmao:
Grateful for A/C as not looking forward for an intense heatwave predicted tomorrow and for a while.
Welcome TC! Gratitude is one of my best tools in sobriety. :hug:

Love and peace to anyone struggling or suffering tonight in anyway. :grouphug:

Grateful that you guys are always hereÂ

Grateful that tired carpenter is making amends and reconnecting with old friendsÂ

Grateful for least and Astro’s patience and being proactive in sorting things out with tax refunds and stimulus checks. Big bummer you have to deal with this. You are a model to me of how I need to be. I’ve had to deal with so many screw ups with my Dads various financial affairs, creditors, insurance and mortgage stuff.  It’s been extremely stressful for me not to mention I’m also trying to manage medical stuff remotely. The healthcare workers are just swamped and have to prioritize so things are getting delayed. I am sorry as I don’t mean any of this to be a complaint. I know you understand. I am grateful that things aren’t worse. Grateful for my relationship  with m dad and that it is a positive one. Grateful he has a strong faith. Grateful he didn’t screw up his finances as bad as some. Grateful that if I end up inheriting some of the debt, it will still be ok. Grateful I have a job, a house, my health and my family and every day is a new day.Â
Grateful to remember the serenity prayer, sick man prayer, and just for today Â
Grateful for each of you.Â

Grateful to go to bed sleepy because of a productive day and not because I've been on the wine. :24:

Grateful to be well and grateful my family are well too.

Grateful to receive a lovely postcard through the post from my daughter's 2 children, it had a pic of them on the front and a message on the back telling me all about what they'd been up to, it made me smile and made me cry too, but in a good way.

Grateful that the home schooling went well today, some days my grandson is somewhat reluctant, hmmm or maybe I should say extremely reluctant.

Grateful to be able to get some aquatic gravel for the mini pond I am making out of an old Belfast sink.

Grateful for coffee.

Grateful that Fearless had a trip down memory lane with her dad. Treasure those trips Fearless, I used to love going down memory lane with my dad.

Grateful that TiredCarpenter's apology went down well with 2 of his old friends, that's a good start T.C and in situations like this, you find out who your true friends are.

Grateful Astro has plans for next week.

Grateful for Least's perseverance.

Grateful that Aly is always here for everyone of us, it's kind of reassuring to read her posts.

Grateful for Fearless's reminder of the serenity prayer, sick man prayer, and just for today, all 3 are my go to prayers and are very special to me.

Grateful to see Beckoningcat here.

Grateful to be grateful, gratitude plays such an important part in my sobriety.

Grateful for each and everyone of you. xxx

Astro 05-06-2020 10:29 AM

Fearless, years ago when I was dealing with my Dad's estate and he was in assisted living I just had to stop fighting everything and go with the flow, fighting with creditors just made me crazy and in the end everything worked out, or it was minor and I had to let it go before it consumed me. And after all was said and done, and after my Dad had passed away, everything had been paid and whatever was left my brothers and I were grateful for. Truth be told, I just wanted to be left with good memories of my father and that's what I have now. I can laugh about the quirky stuff.
Grateful I snagged an opening to donate blood today. Grateful we had tacos last night. Grateful my brother's 61st b-day was yesterday and he's still with us in spite of numerous cancer treatments.

Lol, I'm grateful that I have two good arms cuz the blood tech stabbed my left tendon on his first try! Oh well, they got their blood from my right arm.
