Grateful to see Ardy. It’s been a long while and hope you are well, friend
Grateful abraxas has joined
Grateful Hev is enjoying the new shopping area
Grateful for Aly. Hope you are hanging in there love
Grateful for Mags fish and chips. I think I’ll have to order some take out at the pub! Without the beer of course
Grateful RZ mention of perseverance
Grafteful for Sunpeng, Daisy and NL’s discussion of nature and beauty. I have been up early too and hearing birds singing earlier and more fervently than ever. Perhaps less air pollution is causing this wonderful effect
Grateful NL’s son got through the math test
Grateful NCJ had a party for hubby

Grateful to spend much time here after a few days of missing out. Have not been feeling well. Plus the days are still blurring together. I pour myself into all sorts of extra projects at work and around the house and trying to control everything and be productive because underneath it all I am anxious and fearful. Grateful to stop and pause, recognize what I’m doing and how it is hurting me, and spend some time relaxing and meditating.
Grateful for a good session with therapist
Grateful to order self help books on the role of shame, guilt from my past and how it creates anxiety, perfectionism and contributed to my past alcoholism. Grateful for insight and awareness
Grateful for my t-shirt that arrived that says Heavily meditated
Grateful for some other mail order packages for things I don’t need like blouses from Venus catalogue. Lol. I have no where to wear them at the moment
Grateful To stop the online shopping and save money. Day five of no purchases!
Grateful my article for work got published
Grateful to think about integrity and authenticity and there’s many political games I don’t have to be a part in at work if I don’t want to.
Grateful for gradual reopening across the country. Slower progress is being made in my small county but progress nonetheless
Grateful to plan a trip to visit a far away girlfriend for a small outside gathering this weekend, even though I know I probably shouldn’t. Grateful to plan another get together so sonny boy can go for a bike ride with his BFF. Will be his first face to face encounter since mid March
Grateful I did not receive a call in the middle of the night last night that my dad fell again. He’s fallen three times since his move but is ok and settling in
Grateful for a supportive manager at the mortgage lender office who is giving me assurance that despite delays it will all work out
Grateful for each of you and for always being here

Very grateful for the uptick in Rusty's eating, and that FBL's mom is having a birthday!

Grateful for the people who were ahead of me in sobriety who gave me tools I will use today.
