Aly, I’m sorry you have to get all this dental work!
Hi Zen, Alpine, Peke, Astro, purps, BKA, Least, 424 Alive
Grateful to purchase pet insurance for new dog (Hennessy- we did not name him. Lol) Grateful that even though he has a couple preexisting conditions that we must continue to pay for anything out of pocket, these expenses should be minor. Grateful the coverage for other stuff is good with reasonable premiums. Overall, had not thought about how expensive dogs are. But the trade off is lots of fur love and companionship
Grateful sonny boy went to school. He is a little sick but not much and he is doing better now. Stayed home yesterday
Grateful to sign sonny boy up for summer swim program.
Grateful to go for a run today
Grateful to know that everything changes and passes and if I’m down it is only temporary

I am grateful that my nails seem to be growing….maybe it’s the vitamins I’ve been taking, but I also haven’t been biting and fussing with them lately….so I must be doing something right?

Grateful for peace and quiet

Grateful for another day of recovery

That sure hit the truth for me these last few days.

Grateful to be alive and sober.
Grateful for bananas and pineapple.
Grateful that my mood is starting to lift up again and I realize I am going through uncharted territory and it's not permanent and it will always be changing.
Grateful that a fairly new scar I have is finally starting to flatten and not looking so bad.
Grateful that I am doing this, staying sober. I am showing myself that I really am stronger than I thought I was.

Really true quote on how it feels sometimes Alpine.

Your job sounds quite busy Astro, but it also sounds really rewarding and interesting and fun.

I wanted to plant some tomatoes but the animals and birds ate more than I did past years. I think I’ll pass this year and go to farmers market instead.

Grateful to be alive and sober.
Grateful for Organic Jojoba Oil. I found something that really works and agrees with my skin.
Grateful for the warmer weather, it's time to pull the cooler clothes out to wear.

Take care everyone.

Grateful all of you who post here.
Have a wonderful evening. Pleasant dreams to everyone.

Good evening all. I had a good day today

I'm grateful for

- the shop woman that sat down and knit with us
- a hamburger with bleu cheese for lunch

Sleep well.

Congrats on the new pooch! And smart of you to get pet insurance. As a mom of three dogs it’s wise.

424, my "real" job is as a Buyer for a municipal water department which is sorta mundane and task oriented, but I also have my "fun" jobs doing event security and I usually have a blast doing those. Meeting the artists sometimes and having fun with coworkers keeps me motivated, hopefully I've got another 6 years in me and then I'll retire.

Grateful to satisfy my seasoned butter braid pretzel craving and come home to leftover pizza.
Grateful to be having a somewhat healthy breakfast sandwich while I'm on SR.
Grateful for yard watering, dishwashing, and getting my heart med refill phoned in this morning.
Grateful I have a Dr. appointment this afternoon for a wellness check.

Grateful another difficult day is coming to an end. The cycle will turn, I know that.
Grateful I'm safe and ok.
Grateful for my blessings.
Grateful for the wonderful posts here.
Alpine, you're going to have thick, beautiful, curly hair when it all grows out. Do you like it curly? I wonder if it will stay that way. Sometimes it's a little easier.
Grateful for all of you here.💗
Have a wonderful evening. Pleasant dreams to all.

Thank you for explaining Astro. Your fun job really does sound interesting and enjoyable. You are busier than I realized! Maybe you can keep the fun job after you retire.

Hello everyone and wishing you all good days and good feelings and warm hearts.

Grateful to be alive and sober.
Grateful my thinking is improving a little, there is truth to alcohol stunting mental growth. Kicking myself for all the wasted years, but,
Grateful I finally did quit drinking and I believe there can be healing and change for the better.
Grateful that my flowers are growing even though I have neglected them a little. I've been hiding from the sun lately.
