Tursiops, so great you get to spend time with your grand baby 👶
Welcome Elly. This is a great place to start the day (and end the day too. The bedtime thread is awesome too)
Labgirl, way to go!
Palmersage, you are the first person I know who has family that has been vaccinated. That’s great and hopeful
Grateful to reorganize the living room. Loving that the comfy chairs face the view now. Don’t know why I did not think of that before.
Grateful for a second cup of coffee
Grateful for a wonderful sunset hike with a friend last night. Grateful that even though she has over 30 years of sobriety, she has decided to return to AA and get a sponsor to restart the twelve steps. She feels her emotional sobriety slipping and is aware of this putting her at risk for a relapse which she has actually been thinking about. Grateful for the reminder that no longer how long we are sober, we must remain diligent in our efforts
Grateful to be going for a run soon and for the sense of rhythm, balance and meditation this brings
Grateful to make some more bread today with a different starter recipe for extra sourness

Grateful my new healthy eating plan starts in 3 days. It'll be a difficult change from eating whatever I please - but I'm ready.
Grateful for the attempt at being more open minded. Always thought I was, but I need to work harder on it.
Grateful for a feeling of contentment, despite all the negativity swirling around us. Things can and will change.
Grateful for the good intentions of most people in this world!

Grateful for online grocery ordering and the fact that you can supplement your order if you (like me) always forget things!

Tursiops, it’s always morning somewhere!
Elly, glad you are feeling great
Palmersage, grateful for your comment on things being possible when sober. Strangely, it’s something that I take for granted nowadays. It’s important to remember this sober journey, how we took control of our drinking and how it’s changed our lives. Just realizing my four year soberversary is in two days!
Grateful for my therapy appointment yesterday. This is a new therapist I sought because of her emphasis on mindfulness as well as grief and loss. We were able to meet social distanced in person the first time because of nice weather. She has a beautiful zen like garden setting with Buddha statues, a pond, bamboo and wind chimes. I felt like I was in a different world. Grateful for this self discovery journey. We are always growing and learning
