Grateful FBL went on his favorite radio show and even stayed up late!
Grateful for the return of RZ’s appetite.
Grateful for those fantastic elephant pics, Daisy. Definitely brought a smile.
Grateful about 35-40% of my sense of taste seems back. I can even taste the coffee now!
Grateful Dad is doing ok and I’ll call him today. He called Friday night and among other things went on a political rant so I think he’s doing all right. At least, he was in that moment.
Grateful to work but only a little yesterday.
Grateful to get some lingering household stuff done. Not nearly enough but at least I can open the garage door without a pang of regret that my area is in such disarray.
Grateful that although my son did not want to hang out with me yesterday and leave his video game/friends, he did at one point tell his friends “hang on. My mom needs a hug.”
Grateful to hang out with my daughter and try to make some experimental candy. Didn’t work out and just fyi don’t try to melt gummy bears in the microwave unless you’re really into a sticky mess. But it was nice to just goof off.
Grateful for a good long nap and that in spite of that and a Venti cold brew at 4 p.m. I slept well.
Grateful that because we are quarantining I used that as an excuse to do something extravagant like having Starbucks ordered and delivered.
Grateful we did family movie night, even if my son left halfway through and even though I kind of forgot how absurd Bill & Ted’s is.
Grateful there is a drive-in theater near our house and we’ll probably check it out next week.
Grateful for all of you and your uplifting posts.

Grateful for Daisy and that she remembers my love of elephants. Grateful for the hope I can work/volunteer at an elephant sanctuary someday. Such smart, amazing animals. Thank you Daisy, so grateful for you!
Grateful to practice acceptance about something that got so messed up regarding my health. They say Mercury is in Retrograde when everything goes wonky and I think it may be true. Lol. I sure hope I can get this situation straightened out tomorrow.
Grateful it is supposed to cool off tomorrow.
Grateful for the lovely posts.
Love to you all. Prayers continue, Rusty. Hoping you're feeling well, or better.
So grateful for all of you and your posts. So glad for this group and wishing everyone a great day. All my love to you all.

Grateful that I'm starting to figure out this new phone. It's my first smart phone and it's definitely smarter than I am... But I'm getting the hang of it, a little at a time.

Grateful to be sober and despite some random AV thoughts over the past week, I remain confident in the knowledge that sobriety trumps any rose tinted 'benefits' of drinking, all day every day.
Grateful for this place and all of you.
Grateful two of my friends at the stables completely surprised me on Saturday with a brand new grooming bag they had filled with horsey goodies such as brushes, treats, socks, etc. to thank me for helping them out over the past few months as they train in their horses.

Wishing you all a wonderful, healthy and productive week ahead

P.S. Aly, I gave my sweet horse a snuggle from you and he sends a nuzzle right back your way!

Grateful for manicotti, too, RZ, and for people who have the patience and dexterity to stuff the shells. Manicotti, lasagne, enchiladas...all of these end up more like casseroles with me.
Grateful that a friend brought us a homemade chicken pot pie because she knew we were dealing with covid. It was so good,
Grateful for some beautiful flowers that randomly sprung along a vine in our backyard.
Grateful for beautiful things that grow when you let things alone.
Grateful to go back to our old house yesterday to pick up a package from the front porch. Yard was pretty bad looking but it was still nice to drive through old neighborhood with my son.
Grateful to spend some time with my daughter, making a dessert. It turned out kind of gross but I liked spending time with her.
Grateful she has a virtual camp for part of the day today.
Grateful to work as a family (minus my son who mostly sulked and was surly) to get some cleaning done yesterday.
Grateful to come to this group.

Love your post! My new smart phone is smarter than me also, lol. My kids usually know the solution at the snap of fingers but I don't bug them too much, don't want to take advantage of them. You know...trying to not be the annoying mom.

In thinking over what's occurred in my life already today, first thing (!) -- I will try and be grateful for rising early this morning to get ahead of the game; although, I will admit I am irritated that other peoples' errors were the reason for the early jump out of bed!

Doing some deep breathing and working toward going into wise mind as I type.

Grateful for cloud cover after a scorching but relaxing weekend.

Grateful for Daisy's pictures of the elephant on the beach. I think Henry must be part elephant (and certainly feels that way when I have to lift him up).

Grateful to start the workweek feeling refreshed.

I just caught up on all the grats I missed. We had a lovely little service for MrH's dad & he is now buried with his wife of 74 yrs. where they both grew up. Rockport & Gloucester (Mass.) were gorgeous - grateful for the beauty that surrounded us.
RZ - Grateful to know your appetite is back - what a blessing.
I love elephants too! The pictures were wonderful.
I'll be back to reading & posting more tomorrow. Love to all. I missed you.
