Grateful for you all and for the joy of being a part of this very special community.

Grateful for peace.

Grateful for picture memories...

Grateful for the hard times. What doesn't kill us, truly does make us stronger. We only die once so that makes most things... Grateful that I understand this now.

Grateful for sobriety and for grace.

Grateful always for the wonderful souls here

Grateful NL got a solid night's sleep - a beautiful thing indeed! Workouts with your kids sounds so cute.

Grateful to be able to read the posts in between the code or whatever that stuff is!
Grateful the site looks fancy and so far feels easier to use. I’m even braving quick reply but also going to save my post.
Grateful for what Hev said about the drinking person not being our real selves. That is definitely one of the greatest gifts of sobriety, the gift of being closer to our authentic selves. I’ve come to find there are other ways we mask that—through distraction, through working too much, through not making forward progress in life situations. But still, we had no hope of it while entombed in booze.
Grateful to hear about the very sweet video Fearless’ son sent her.
Grateful for Zip’s Zooms.
Grateful for ButterMarsh’s perspective on the hard times.
Grateful I have been humbled by the bragging i did about a good night of sleep. Last night was...not so good.
Grateful we only have two more weeks of distance learning. Entirely unclear what I will be doing with my children to occupy them while I work a super busy job (Which should ease up later in the summer as I transition ... just not quite yet) and camps are supposedly going to be virtual if they occur at all. But I will be glad when it’s over nonetheless.
Grateful for a new day and new opportunities.
ETA: Grateful I can edit posts again! And use quick reply! And it looks...normal!

Grateful that although I have to listen to a particularly obnoxious colleague, she isn't breathing on me.

Yay, Least, so grateful!
Thank you, NC, you are always so kind.
Grateful to have gotten some grocery shopping for my mom done. Grocery shopping is very difficult to me (weird, I know) and I have such a hard time in the big stores, so grateful, I got up early, stuck my chin out and went! I went to a smaller store, so I'll have to face the big one eventually! LOL.
Rusty, prayers continue. Hoping you're feeling better.
NL, wishing you the best with your new job. So hoping it suits you better.
Grateful for for a good night's sleep.
Grateful to be going on kind of a probiotic, sort of cleanse. I'm eating very little right now for some reason, so as good a time as any to try and clean up my diet a little.
Love and peace to all our Gratpackers. Grateful for you all!

NC - That sounds like a lovely romp with your horse.
Least - Wonderful news! Been so worried for you.
Aly - Those huge stores are overwhelming. Sometimes there are just too many choices.
Numb - I hate when I feel very tired, read a while, turn out light - then lay there with my mind spinning....I did that last night.
Grateful for a cheerful husband.
Grateful to not be pining away for our old house the way I thought I would.
Grateful for the determination to dump this quarantine weight. Not getting on scale to see the damage just yet though.
Grateful for today's positive posts!

Hev, so funny. I hate that too. I’ll be reading and dozing off in the middle of reading, repeatedly. Then turn out the light and it’s like a comic strip where it’s dark and all you see are two kind of crazed big eyes. Oh, it’s officially time to go to sleep? Okay, let’s WAkE UP! It’s usually not too prolonged for me but still.
Grateful Least got her check and paid bills.
Grateful Aly faced her fears and went to the grocery store.
Grateful I’ve already ordered a new keyboard case (again!) to replace this busted one. I can’t really see Very well while I type so that has to change.
Grateful last night my daughter told me she was a mommy’s girl. Not that I want to be the preferred parent (okay part of me does let’s be honest) but just that she was saying it. She sometimes goes out of her way to say things to me like therapy isn’t woirking because I still don’t care about her, that she’s more like Daddy,
Grateful to keep sharing tasks with my replacement — they won’t be mine for too much longer. Very liberating!
Grateful to go back to one of my favorite Thai places for takeout yesterday. They only sell mango sticky rice for a short window of time each year. And we’re in the window! I ate dessert for lunch and it was AWESOME. Highly recommend.
Grateful to be here with all of you.
