Grateful to be able to post from my phone this morning ( though I have no option to like posts)
Grateful to be well.
Grateful to take my mum to do a bit of shopping this morning.
Grateful for all the wonderful, brave and supportive friends I have here.
Grateful for people who show kindness to every living thing.
Grateful that Least has 11 years and 4 months sober, that's such an inspiration to me.
Grateful for coffee.
Grateful to be texting back and to with Mandy, she's not good, she only has the use now of one arm and that is getting weaker. She's in a lot of pain in her legs and back and she's been catheterised. She's only 64, it's so sad, she's the bubbliest, kindest, most generous person I've ever known.
Grateful to be able to write it all down here.
Grateful for memories shared with her filled with love, laughter and fun.
Grateful that my Lulu cat doesn't wander far.
Grateful for all of you
♥️💜💙💚💛🧡🖤

Congrats on 104 days sober CBS!

Grateful for a nice visit with my brother.

Grateful to have gone on a second date with Divorcee #1 the moment my brother left. Deserto thinks he may really like her, a fact that makes him nervous and that he doesn't really like at all.

Grateful to be here this morning, I can't recall how I somehow missed yesterday.
Grateful to read all your updates and grats.
Grateful the house finch pair continue to work on their nest out my window. Can't see the nest, but they're too busy for it to be anything else.
Grateful for feeling well and reasonably sane.
Grateful for spring.

Palmer, lol. We ordered a new brush for our Maine Coon
Aly, I keep looking now every morning. After the 50+ was rolled out, it’s more difficult to get in. I hear 16+ group will open up 4/15. Since that’s most of the population, I’m expecting supply will dry up and it may be some time before availability. Many of my friends already got their shots from using fake ID’s or fake stories. I missed my chance. Lol l Oh well.
Deserto, don’t be afraid of your feelings and love ❤️ 😊
Daisy, thoughts and prayers for sweet Mandy
Grateful even though I still have this cold and low energy, I have not had a fever and there is coffee available to help me suck it up and rally for a day of mini golf. Grateful for sobriety and that this feeling is not as bad as a hangover.
Grateful will be able to rest later
Grateful to level up my German. Grateful to get sonny boy Duolingo Plus

Least, Huge congrats!!! So wonderful. Grateful for your friendship.
Fearless, hoping you get in soon for your shots. I heard we had to get another one in another 6 months. I think that's all they last. I wonder if that is true and if anyone has heard anything like that.
Daisy, prayers to you and Mandy. I am so, so sorry she is sufferring. I think you said you got your new kitten, Loki? I bet she is the sweetest thing.
Grateful so much for all of you. Missing Rusty today. Prayers to him as well.
Love and peace, have a wonderful day.

Daisy, I’m so very sorry for Mandy—and you her lifelong friend. I hate ALS so much.

Grateful that I like Fearless had mostly given up on getting vaccine—but got on a wait list for extra doses at a local pharmacy. And two days ago they called me to come in! Got the J&J and felt like crap yesterday but am feeling better today. People were getting appointments all around me but the level of effort they had to go to (or half-truths they had to tell to get there) was pretty far beyond what I was ready to do. I signed up at four different places and still haven’t heard a word back after a week ... from any of them.
Grateful to try out a new therapist yesterday.
Grateful for a relatively calm work day—and for a plan to go to a local amusement venue with my daughter and her friend and ride go-Karts (them not me!)
Grateful for coffee.
Grateful for this kind group.

Grateful I have an appt to get my taxes filed even though I don't have to. With the stimulus checks they are saying that you should file even if you don't have to. I'll be happy to have that over with.
Daisy, so much love and support to you and Mandy. ALS is cruel. I'm so happy Mandy has such a wonderful friend as you.
It looks like another nice day. Maybe cooler this morning, but it will likely warm up.
Love and peace to all the wonderful people on this thread.

Grateful that NL and I have had the exact same approach to the vaccine - I don't have mine yet for the reasons you mentioned, but I need to be more proactive!
Grateful for coffee.
Grateful to have a mini-breakthrough (breakdown?) regarding a challenge at work yesterday.
Grateful to recognize once and for all that someone on my team is undermining me at best, and actively sabotaging me at worst.
Grateful that I was able to sit down and calmly record the specifics so I can figure out the best way to address it, as well as my own role in the problem (making assumptions, not having great initial communication, and ignoring early red flags especially).
Grateful it's Saturday and my younger son is hiking.
Grateful my older son is starting a new SAT prep course today - I hope it helps!
Grateful to be sober.
