Grateful to be sober.
Grateful to be doing my best.

Grateful for the good moments. Yesterday when my son was stewing, on a pretty stew-ful pouty day for him, I did get him talking about Minecraft and how it works and it was great to see him come alive, talking about how he would protect me if we were in a survival mode world together. And for hearing him talk about going back to a spot where we hiked so he could try to catch fish with a buddy.

Grateful for the good moments with my daughter. Not only did she litter the house with encouraging sentiments she wrote out on different pieces of paper, but after I told her she couldn’t create profiles on Twitter and Reddit we managed to end the night on a good note. She started by storming about telling me I didn’t support her dreams of her becoming Internet-famous etc. I held my line and told her I wanted her dreams to come true but i wasn’t going to have her get there in a way that compromises her safety.Â
Grateful for a story my therapist told me about Brene Brown (who I have tried unsuccessfully to get into) doing research and having kids trading off stories about how strict their parents were, and that there was a small group of kids who didn’t say anything and just kind of slunk down in their seats. Later they polled those kids and they talked about how they wished they had a curfew or limits, etc. Anyhow, it is helping me to remember to be firm in my boundaries. I am in concept but then in the heat of the moment i tend to go to a place of compromise, which is my go-to in life.Â

Grateful my dream about everybody crowding together at work was just a dream.

Grateful I like Hev was able to kind of bust through some middle of the night negativity. Well, bust through is too dramatic. The most I could think was that it would pass and that if I had messed up by not prioritizing my mom and grandmother and MIL better and showing them more love, they probably still loved me :)

Grateful things generally seem better in the light of day.
