Lights out in about an hour.

Thankful for a pleasant day, was able to get outside for a bit. Thankful to get some more work done on a few projects. Thankful to have my basic needs met whether I deserve it or not. Thankful for another four-day weekend coming up.

Thankful for reasons to be thankful, if that makes sense.

That makes sense to me. I am grateful to have discovered the art of practicing gratitude. It has improved my life in so many ways.

Tonight I'm grateful for Billie sleeping the contented sleep of a happy healthy dog. I've leaned so heavily on her (and the cats) to keep me sane and relatively happy this year. I am grateful that I adopted her almost 5 yrs ago.

Boy does it ever. "This is an experience you must not miss". I can't even begin to tell you how good life has gotten over the past 15 years, I just implore you to stick around.

Grateful to get back to another shortened work week, and it'll be a busy one, but I'm looking forward to what the next year brings.

I'm grateful for things to be grateful for.
Grateful to be able to help my mom out with something today.
Thinking of Fearless.
Thank you Daisy for remembering my nephew. He worries me so with his MD and very low thyroid and he not taking his treatments. I've never seen anyone look so tired in my life. Praying for him. I'm worried about him.
Grateful for all the good people here.

Welcome Chancellor, good to have you join us.

I'm sorry your nephew is such a worry Aly, I have a low thyroid and if he isn't taking his meds, he will be very fatigued. Prayers for him. xx

Well done on your week free from Cannabis, LPG, that's really good.

Stay safe all of you xxx

I'm exhausted but happy to read all your posts. Grateful to be back home in Philly after traveling back to Denver for Christmas. So grateful that I got to see my nieces and nephew - I love them so much and they're getting so big so fast. Grateful for my chosen family as well... They get me. Grateful to have gotten through the holidays thus far without drinking.

Grateful to accept my win/loss no matter what'
Grateful I don't owe $3.000 to a shark because I'm blasted and bet crazy large.

Grateful to be here tonight
Grateful my Dad’s service was more beautiful and perfect than I expected
Grateful for hugs from sonny boy
Grateful to just let tears flow. I am feeling sad and empty at the moment. Grateful I am not numbing myself with alcohol. It’s been a good trip and going back home tomorrow. I feel that I am saying goodbye to so much. Goodbye to my dad, goodbye to TX - maybe even forever, goodbye to my family of origin, goodbye to a year of heartache and stress, goodbye to 2020 . Finally with space and nothing left to plan or do, I have this time to reflect. It breaks my heart. I am grateful for so many beautiful memories of my Dad, and that so many people loved him. Grateful to always remember my dad as a good person
Grateful for a book I am reading - The Wild a edge of sorrow. It is giving me a very enlightening and positive perspective on grief, loss and love and the important role of each in our lives.
Grateful you are all here.

I'm glad to hear the service went well Fearless, and please know that we're all sending you virtual hugs for emotional healing I hope that both our fathers smile about the way we're living and the families we raised. My Mom always wanted a granddaughter, my ex and I gave her the first and another one followed from my younger brothers family. I know my Dad was pleased with his grandchildren. Sweet memories.....

Grateful that in recovery I just do the best I can and try not to beat myself up when it doesn't go perfectly.
Grateful for cell phones, my older brother called early AM, I'm hoping he'll call again to let me know he's alright.

Daisy thank you so for thinking of my nephew. His Muscular Dystrophy really worries me too. I appreciate it. I hope Mr. DB is well these days.
Grateful so much for all of you.
If I have the energy, maybe I'll post back later. I feel like I had more to say.
Love the Grat Pack.!

Tonight I'm grateful for a nice nap with Billie today. I sleep so well with her beside me.
