Grateful for Daisy's friendship and grateful we share an anniversary date - today is six years to the date that I adopted Lily from Chicory. :) :) :) It was a Sunday and my brother drove me there. We had cake and coffee and didn't stay long due to brother having to work the next day and couldn't get home too late. But we had a good visit and I came home with a Very Good Cat! :)

Thanks Dee for looking after us Gratters. :hug:

Grateful for a productive walk with Billie after she ate her supper. Grateful God let me keep Billie with me when he took my sweet old man to be with him. :hug:

Congratulations Daisybelle on 2 years!! That's great!! :) Thx to Dee and to all of you on here. Tonight I'm grateful for will power that I know comes from a higher power. Tonight was a super challenging evening in the parental realm. Normally I would've instantly reached for a bottle. But tonight, I vented frustrations to myself, took some deep breaths, and fixed a cup of hot tea to decompress. Day by day, I'm learning to be the new me.

Astro 04-07-2020 06:35 AM

Daisy woot woot congrats on two years!! I'm very grateful for your presence here :hug:

Grateful for morning walks with the dog and the WFH routine we are developing around our house.

Least that's great about the Verizon rep helping you out! Good news indeed. Today I'm grateful for food in my cupboards, and grateful for the health of me and my kiddos. Between quitting drinking and this pandemic, my perspective is certainly one full of gratitude.

Daisybelle 04-07-2020 08:19 PM

Grateful to catch up with you all and for all the new regulars and all the sober milestones!
Daisy, the wine corks in the pots made me laugh 😂
Astro, I love avocado toast. Sometimes I make avocado egg toast with hard boiled egg. I like the hot sauce idea
Thanks, Dee, for the new thread
Least, omg I was on with Verizon for near three hours today dealing with my dads account. Long story but I went from legal dept to account transfer to billing dept, got disconnected a few times and finally got to someone who resolved everything. So grateful and glad you got a helpful person too
Grateful for your trampoline time with sonny boy
Grateful he’s keeping up on reading, guitar and some other non ex box activities. I worry with the extended shelters there will be a rise in video game addiction!
Grateful for each one of you for always being here. Love you all

Astro 04-08-2020 06:49 AM

Fearless, I tried it with an over easy egg and loved it, gotta make some this weekend!

Grateful for nice morning walks in the cool air and crunches to get me motivated, I'm dragging a little but eventually my momentum kicks in!

ButterMarsh 04-08-2020 01:58 PM

Grateful for making new experiences and new memories.

Grateful for sobriety and for grace.

Alysheba 04-08-2020 02:18 PM

Grateful to decorate a small Christmas tree in a container in my front garden, with fairy lights and pretty painted eggs ( plastic, not real). I thought it would be nice for any passing children to see.

Grateful for several walks with Billie, my constant companion and best friend. :)

Alysheba 04-08-2020 04:01 PM

Least, I really need to walk more/longer more frequently than I do. You remind me of how fun it can be with a dog. Although my ortho guy told me walking a lot isn't so good for my back (which I could tell when the pain settles in) and riding a bike is probably better.
Anyway, grateful for your example of doing something productive with your time! Do you feel any different walking so much, like a better mood or more energy? I'm sure Billie is in Heaven!!
You worked up to quite a lot of walking, seemingly in a relatively short time.
Congrats and good for you! Thank you for reminding me of how fun moving with your animal can be. One thing I used to absolutely love was galloping my horse with another horse on the mountain or over by the BD Coal Mines, but it had to be a horse I could trust at least a little, boy can they run away with you quickly! What a completely exhilarating feeling. Nothing like it. A good walk in beautiful scenery with my pup is often just as fun! :love: :hug: :puppy::SteprobL::wave::flowers1::bbj::kitty: :egg21:

ButterMarsh 04-08-2020 05:29 PM

Here I am, at stupid o'clock (to steal the phrase from daisy), and I thought I'd squeeze in a few more grats...

Grateful that I finally, at last, found God. Took me long enough!

Grateful I have everything I need.

Grateful for my miracles, everyday.

Grateful for having learned about vulnerability and how it relates to courage today.

Grateful to be going to bed with a huge smile on my face, even though it's 2:30am and I'll likely have a tough day tomorrow as a result.

Grateful your nerve test went well, Aly. Thoughts and wishes and prayers for your health and wellbeing.

Grateful for the grat pack.

Grateful for sobriety and for grace.

least 04-08-2020 05:40 PM

Aly, I started walking much more after I sold my car. ;) But I've always liked walking my dog(s). :)

Today I'm grateful that I don't drink anymore. :) It would just make a bad situation worse.

sunpengwn 04-08-2020 05:50 PM

Loved reading this, and God doesn't have a clock or timer on you, this time is as good as any!

Aly, I walk 1.5 miles with my dog every morning and take two 1/2 mile walks late morning and early afternoon with her too. It keeps my metabolism up and always lifts my spirits!

Daisybelle 04-09-2020 04:52 PM

Grateful to be sober again tonight.
Grateful for a productive day in the garden.
Grateful to remember to stand at the front door at 8 p.m tonight and give a round of applause for our wonderful N.H.S workers, as with most of the street.
Grateful for all key workers and for all they do.
Grateful to drop some supplies off for my daughter ( left them on her doorstep, safe distancing.)
Grateful for a telephone conversation with my mum and grateful she is well, though she doesn't get it that she needs to stay home just because she is 86 and my brother, who is staying with her, only flew back from Thailand last Monday! Grateful she's not home alone.
Grateful my live in g.son is sleeping peacefully, he's really missing his 2 cousins and his class mates.
Grateful to read about your grats though I'm far too tired tonight to reply to them all.
