Grateful Fearless shared her 4 yrs, congratulations!
Grateful for Elly, RAL and lyddie being here.
Grateful for the feelings of relief and release from fear I'm experiencing this week.
Grateful for touching base with my siblings by text this morning and sharing some happy memories.
Grateful for a shift in my mindset, to realize that morning exercise and quiet time/meditation are not a "duty" or yet another chore, but a precious opportunity for me to experience something I treasure that helps me feel so much better throughout the day.
Grateful for this Grat Pack!

Grateful I’ve made it to four years! Yup, today is the day 😊. So much changed since getting sober. Even though life continues to be challenging at times, that’s just life and it’s so much easier handling life problems sober than drunk. A few thoughts I always remember when I am struggling : This too shall pass, Don’t look back - that’s not the direction I’m going, When bad things happen don’t go with them. Of course, Aly’s reminder of one day at a time and Daisy’s comments about the serenity prayer, sick man prayer and just for today are always helpful too.
Speaking of Aly, where are you love? Missing you and hope you are ok
Grateful to see RAL
Grateful to watch the inauguration with sonny boy yesterday. It was one of his school assignments too
Grateful for Amanda Gorman. She stole the show!
Grateful the yard is looking nice
Grateful to receive the new earrings I ordered on Amazon. Perhaps I need to slow down shopping again 😊
Grateful to have time to do some spiritual and self help reading today
Grateful to get together with a new group of friends virtually tonight

Grateful that it's 42 F and sunny so I could take Billie for a long walk. First walk she's had in a week. She enjoyed checking her peemail. She looks so cute in her little parka.

Congrats again Fearless!! Proud of ya!

Grateful to get here to post this morning, I keep forgetting about this thread, only because I'm mithered with the home schooling and things. I need to make a bigger effort to manage my time better.
Grateful for a few hours of good sleep.
Grateful for being sober.
Grateful to feel well.
Grateful for my daughter, it's her birthday today so I need to go and do a socially distanced gift drop.
Grateful to live on a slight incline as my house hasn't been affected at all by the terrible floods Storm Christoff brought to our town. As if being in lockdown isn't bad enough, we have houses close by that have water up to the kitchen counters in them. Families have been evacuated and the emergency services are stretched to the limits.
Grateful for warm clothes and my boots.
Grateful that there is no home schooling today.
Grateful that my daughter has put her old house up for sale at last.
Grateful that Fearless has 4 years sober, that is just so good.
Grateful that Tursiops999 has joined us.
Grateful for F.B.L's sober time, very inspiring.
Grateful that Rusty had a good visit with his doctor.
Grateful for the grat pack and grateful to be here with you all.
