Thanks for the new thread Dee, I'm grateful too.

Grateful to be going to bed sober tonight because that means I've ended the day on 2 years sober.
Grateful for the support I've had from my Grat pack gang, couldn't have done it without you all.
Grateful for a very productive day in the garden.
Grateful for a telephone conversation with my 86 yr old mum who still doesn't 'get' why she needs to stay home. Big sigh.
Grateful for a drama free day.
Grateful for all my 'gots.'
Grateful for a peaceful evening at home ( not that I could be anywhere else anyway.)
Grateful Astro thinks so much of his lovely wife and family.
Grateful my dear Aly is here too.
Grateful for all of you and the gratitude that we share.

Love always, stay safe.

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.

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.

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.

So grateful for the kind Verizon rep who just credited my account with enough to avoid disconnection of my service! There are so many good people in the world if you just look for them.

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.

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

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!

Fearless, the wine corks...oh the shame

Grateful to be sober tonight and happy about being that way.
Grateful that I am well and my family are well too.
Grateful for Wattsapp messages from my 10 yr old granddaughter, I'm missing her so much.
Grateful that the sun has shone all day.
Grateful for a really productive day in the garden.
Grateful for some heart shaped, silver solar lights on a thread that I found in the cupboard. Someone gave them to me as a Christmas gift a couple of years back and I have never used them. I put them up in the yard today and they look lovely.
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 a good cup of tea.
Grateful for a hot bath and a hair wash.
Grateful to see Fearless's post.
Grateful Aly's nerve test went well, phew. Think elephants Aly.
Grateful for each of you and for reading your grats.

Stays safe, love to all. xxx
