Intro really good to hear that you are seeing a bit of improvement. Way too many people have treatment resistant depression/anxiety

Tonight I'm grateful for
- a hike in the desert
- tiramisu for desert
- figuring out a few things on my van

Happy Birthday Astro! Have a wonderful day.
Grateful to have heard from Courage congratulating me on my year soberversary. I actually forgot about it. It's been a long four years in some ways, but so glad to be sober and with you all.
Grateful for all of you!

Thank you all, and Aly I’m wishing you a hearty soberversary, that’s definitely to be recognized and not forgotten!

Grateful for delicious shave ice, sushi, Hawaiian BBQ, a healthy breakfast this morning, and beautiful tropical breeze.
Grateful to be 58 years young, and most of all grateful to have so many good people in my life.

Now I have the song You say it's your Birthday, well It's my birthday too..........in my head
Grateful the rain helped to get rid of most of the snow
Grateful for a local apple orchard/apple mill that is just a few miles away
Grateful my oven baked coconut shrimp turned out good and my MIL was very happy with it. surprised her by making it. She asked earlier today what I was planning for dinner and I told her it was a secret. She deserves fun little surprises since she has been down lately due to her husband/my FIL being in a NH
Grateful my PITA sister did not disrupt my happy mood and focus. I am not going to let her ruin any more of my days or time.
Grateful for all of you

Hiya all,

I'm bedded down in my van for the night. I found an RV place where I can plug an extension cord in.

Tonight I'm grateful for
- the friendly lady who welcomed me to the RV park
-the very warm bathroom here
-smoked cheese and olives for dinner
-an opportunity to be a better person in relationships
-figuring out how the van heater works
- the juniper and piñon forests of southern Utah

Sleep well my friends.

Astro happy belated birthday and have a wonderful vacation! You work very hard and deserve an amazing break!
Aly, happy belated soberversary!!!
I received some scary news today that one of my best friends has cancer. I'm grateful that I was sober when she called and that I was able to be present in that conversation. Grateful for the big smack in the face reminder of what's really important and what is not worth my time/worry. Grateful for my beautiful friends.

AT, I hope your friend is going to be ok
Astro, happy birthday!
Aly, happy sober bday!
Least, so glad you got that checked out
I’ve had the same thing happen with the like button not on phone. It drives me crazy when I can’t like you! Lol
Grateful for a good therapy session
Grateful to realize that I’m still grieving over family deaths, as well as those parts of myself that have died along with them. It’s good I let those parts go, but it’s also a little scary when you are trying to reinvent yourself. It’s like being a little bit lost
Grateful to find out the plans for this weekend are actually not until next weekend. I’m so tired and don’t want to do anything this weekend but chillax
Night all!

Grateful for the sight of Billie sleeping on one blankie and covered with the other. I look at her and the love overflows in my heart. We are soulmates and I hope she lives forever.

Good on ya Alpine. Those bad days do show up on occasion. Kudos to you for fighting through.

Tonight I'm grateful for a lovely historic hotel I got to explore as well as a lovely drive through eastern Arizona. The sun was setting and there were piñon trees (I think), golden fields and mountains in the distance. Really lovely.

(((Alpine))) Some days are so trying. But you got thru it without drinking and that's wonderful. Keep going, time really does heal wounds.

(((Alpine))) I’m sorry you had a rough one. Praying that today is a little easier, and thanking God that we are only given what we can work through.

BKA- Glad you got to see some of AZ and yes the eastern part is very beautiful. I love the high mountains and pine forests of our state, the lakes and streams.

Grateful that my wife and I love exploring and sometimes we travel the extra distance to see what others don’t.
Grateful we found a little outdoor Chinese eatery last night.
Grateful for a good night of sleep and getting my laundry done, we’ve been on our feet hiking and walking around Maui.
