Grateful for a restful day. I was a lot more tired than I thought I was. Grateful I could get caught up on some sleep.
We have some great neighbors on our other side. There was a moving truck outside their place today. I sure hope they are not moving. We love them. Next time I see them, I hope, I'll have to try and find out what is happening. I only wanted the bad neighbors to go, not the good ones! :eek13: Maybe they won't go. Whatever happens, I'm practicing acceptance and what will be will be.
Have a great evening all. Pleasant Dreams! :inbed :v8

Grateful Billie ate all her supper (topped with a hard boiled egg) and did her business afterward. :) Grateful for her company in the den. :)

Grateful for my fellow 'grat packers'. :grouphug:

Bekindalways 09-06-2020 08:37 PM

Sigh . . . I was kind of grouchy today which made me grateful for some errands to run. Getting out and about always helps me on bad days.

One errand was to a grocery story. It was the first time I've been since March. I was so impressed that every single person old, young, male, female wore a mask . . . . . it made me feel some hope for humans and for this I am grateful.

Astro 09-07-2020 06:26 AM

Grateful for the start of a 9-day road trip adventure to CA. Grateful we've got our little camper and some yummy meals to eat along the way. Grateful that my best friend is always with me for these, as well as every day.

Alysheba 09-07-2020 10:15 AM

Astro, have a great time and be careful!
Grateful for the Grat Pack! :grouphug:

Grateful for my sobriety thus far. Grateful for the work the universe is giving me and grateful that I am not freaking out. Grateful for learning to take a breath. Grateful for a productive day. Grateful for my bed, home and cat and to have a sober night sleep.

Fearlessat50 09-07-2020 08:37 PM

Grateful to be here tonight
Grateful to have a great time in Nevada with my close friend who is moving there. Went for an 8.5 mile hike and feeling sore! Grateful to be fit. I couldn’t have done that had I not been working out and if I was still drinking
Grateful for AC. We have been having record high temps.
Grateful to be back home with my boys and cogs. Little miss Daisy missed me the most. I can just tell
Grateful to get back to eating healthy. I wasn’t completely awful over the weekend, but too many carbs
Grateful sonny boy is settling in to distance learning. The first two weeks were stressful (more for me than him)
Grateful to find a Youtube station called Therapy in a Nutshell. Don’t know how I came across it but I’m grateful. Grateful to listen to a talk about catastrophizing and relate so much, get some good tips on how not to do that and what to do instead

Thank you! It's been interesting so far. We drove 6.5 hours to our campsite yesterday...where they turned us away. All campgrounds in southern CA closed due to wildfire danger. Sooo we just started driving towards the ocean, my wife made some calls and we're currently at an RV park in Ventura across the freeway from the beach. It's noisy, quirky, and definitely not the campsite in the woods we expected but hey at least we're away from work for 6 days!

Grateful that sometimes plans changed and we can just roll with the flow.

Daisybelle 09-08-2020 02:03 PM

Astro, have an amazing time and stay safe. xxx

Grateful that I don't drink anymore.
Grateful for my health.
Grateful to have running water and food in my cupboards.
Grateful to have enough.
Grateful for some sunshine today.
Grateful to sort my cutlery drawer out.
Grateful to be getting a bit more organised.
Grateful for thank you notes.
Grateful for my kindle.
Grateful for all my grat pack friends. xxx

Alysheba 09-08-2020 06:06 PM

Grateful I didn't have to go out much today. The air quality, heat, and smoke are so bad and all the irritants and yuk in the air give things kind of an orange hue. The sun is even red, bright red, for a while in the morning. I think it has been making me unwell for the last couple of days. Prayers for all the fires to be put out everywhere. CO is burning in part too. Prayers to those working the Line in life threatening work. Cal-Fire, volunteers, inmate volunteers blessings for the safety of everyone involved in or near fires and the great work being done to put them out. :tyou
Love and peace to all. :love:
Sleep Well. :inbed :yup: :doggy: :VGRearth:

Hi Astro :wavey: Hope you're having fun and were able to find an open campground


copperfield 09-08-2020 08:03 PM

Grateful for a productive couple days and to be going into my day job gig tomorrow. Grateful for waking up sober and tackling everything and heading to bed tonight with a clear head for tomorrow's work.

Fearless, I looked up that Therapy in a Nutshell and it looks interesting! Thanks for the tip! :hug:

We're at an RV park until Friday, hopefully our campground reservation at Point Mugu won't get cancelled. I took a walk to the beach for a bit yesterday and did a lot of reading. At least it's nice and cool. We eat yummy stuff when we're in the camper, I'm grateful for this experience even though it wasn't what we planned.

If you're near these wildfires I hope the air quality and respiratory situation improves soon, and I too am praying for the firefighters, this is just crazy. The sun is so surreal looking, it gets redder as you near the coast.



Bekindalways 09-09-2020 08:01 PM

Grateful today for:

having a better day
getting a couple of piles boxed up and mailed
doing lots of yoga

Fearlessat50 09-09-2020 08:09 PM

You’re welcome, least. I need some more therapy in a nutshell and will go there again tonight
Astro, I hope you are enjoying camping. I hope you are no where near wildfire. Some campers in Fresno CA got trapped. But I believe they all made it out
Grateful for my professional pedicure. Yay! Loving the purply brown color
Grateful my Dads place had a birthday celebration for his 85th and sent me videos. One of the videos was of the residents trying to eat donuts hanging from strings with just their mouth. They couldn’t use their hands. They were all sitting in their wheel chairs around a big round table. It was such a hoot. Laughable and cryable at the same time. A little bit Cocoon and a little bit One Flew Over the cuckoos Nest.
Grateful for fresh grown zucchini from the garden

I've made my share of breaded fried zucchini slices and enjoyed every bite. A little butter, salt and pepper, delicious! :)

Grateful that Billie ate the spinach I put in her supper tonight. Just a couple Tbs but she liked it. :) That dog eats better than I do. ;)

We couldn't be much safer, we're "stuck" at an RV resort on the coast until tomorrow (and enjoying the time to just relax) , then we'll hopefully be able to check into a campsite across from the beach, assuming they don't close that one down! I'm looking forward to being able to do some hiking and lots of walks along the beach for 4 days.

Fearless, that made me smile to read about your Dad's place. I'm sure that many elderly residents in homes are just confused or scared right now, it's nice to hear they're doing activities that might help to keep their spirits high.

Although we're on vacation we still had a Zoom Bible study with our friends in Phoenix last night, I'm grateful for their friendship, the experiences we share, and the laughs that we have.

Grateful that my brother took me to the store to get some food. :) Grateful for my brother. :hug:

Amen. Grateful to go to bed sober and wake up hangover free.

Well I'm grateful for our experience with RV resort life but it's time to move to our campground for the final four nights of our vacation. Grateful for seafood last night and a restful breakfast before we pack up.
