Grateful for a new day.
Grateful that I returned my friend's call even if it was late. I was out when she left a message, I called her at 10 p.m. and at 1:52 a.m. I said, we have almost talked for 4 hours, should we talk another 8 minutes, and when we got off the phone it was 4:01 a.m.
Grateful for the awareness, experience, the new concepts, and healing.
Grateful that I got to go down to the library today. I went to pick up the 8 books that I had ordered and returned the one book I had read. I just had to go by the express shelf and there were two books by two of my favourite authors, so what is a girl suppose to do. I left the library with 10 books, and add them to the 6 I got the other day,plus the 5 I didn't get read from before, makes me grateful that I have good eye sight. That makes me grateful that most of what is on TV is reruns, so I have time to read.
Grateful that I bought myself a treat, a Freshly Squeeze juice special, strawberry and banana.
Grateful for the guy who helped me onto the bus to come home. I lost one of my grocery bags and he returned it. Really grateful it was in one piece as I had a dozen eggs in it.
Grateful for a good day, even though there was pain, I was able to work through it.
Grateful for all of you who walk this journey with me.

Grateful for another day.
Grateful for a quiet day.
Grateful I woke up to watch tennis. Not so grateful that I fell asleep for 3 hours and missed most of it.
Grateful that I got the inspiration and motivation to make brownies. I figured my 3 hour sleep had to be put to good use.
Grateful that it is raining, not so grateful that there is suppose to be thunder storms tomorrow. I have 7 books waiting for me at the library when I am mobile.
Grateful that I was told to phone at 9 a.m. tomorrow morning for an appointment to see my doctor. If they don't feel it is important enough or I don't phone in time, appointments are gone and I have to try again. Not holding my breath, buy trying to have hope and faith. I really want to come off the Lyrica. I don't want to go around feeling stoned, after 22 years I don't need that. Better to be in pain than going around stoned. I have always found anti-depressants to be mind altering, and just because they come from my doctor, doesn't make them right for me and my sobriety.
Grateful that I want to be me, no someone who sounds and acts like they are out to lunch. Even if others don't see me that way, it is about how they make me feel. I am grateful that my God offers me a solution.
Grateful for the gifts and blessings received.
Grateful for all of you who share this journey with me.

Grateful for another day. My days sometimes feel like a day and a half.
Grateful that things are quiet, and I have been willing to accept the do nothing to the BEST of my ability.
Grateful that my God doesn't give up on me, He is always gracious and forgiving.
Grateful that I had the thought to make stuffing for my chicken yesterday, lately I have been buying it from a box and doing my thing to it.
Grateful that I have books to return. Checked my file and have another 10 to pick up, authors that are new to me, and I ordered all their previous books.
Grateful we are suppose to have sun. I have to call my doctor's office at 9 a.m. to see if I can get into see him about my medication. I really don't want to take it. It helped some pain, but it seems to cause more in other areas.
Grateful that I can change my mind, all I have to do is try to make my doctor see my way of thinking. Better to be in pain than walking around stoned. It doesn't happen all the time, but once was too much.
Grateful that through my God all things are possible. Grateful that means for my Higher Good, if it isn't good for me, my will or not, He says "No" not right now, or "NO way, you got to be kidding."
Grateful for all those who walk this journey with me.

Grateful for another day, even though it started at 5:30 A.M. when I am generally going to bed at that time, don't do mornings well.
Grateful I went to sleep, was surprised because I had an afternoon sleep. Going to bed at 10:30 p.m. is a rare thing.
Grateful the test was over, not sure I liked the results. I think I had expectations that it would help take some of my pain away. Didn't happen. I was just more awake to feel it.
Grateful when I get all this muck off that they slathered on me to attach their wires. Haven't been alert and stable enough on my feet to shower yet.
Grateful that I have an appointment with the Holistic Center to get a treatment on my hip that is out. My leg keeps giving out and I ache all over, so hopefully I will find relief. It is a place of prayer, and can't lose with that.
Grateful that I am able to post, even though I am a bit slow on the uptake.
Grateful for all of you who share this journey with me.

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for a new day. It started an hour ago.
Grateful that I found out some answers even though they were ones I didn't like.
Grateful that they could get my hip back in the socket and the swelling is down, hoping to get some laundry done.
Grateful for sunshine but not so much for the humidity. There is a promise for more thunder storms for Canada Day on Tuesday.
Grateful that I got to talk to my friend last night. She gave me the idea of putting my crystal in a bowl to clean. She made the suggestion to put the bowl of water in front of the fan to clean the air.
Grateful that God is and will always be.
Grateful for the quote in Alkiespeaks. Reminded me how we don't think we are alcoholic. We think we are a 'wee' bit of an alcoholic, and that is like being a little bit pregnant.

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for a new day.
Grateful is started early, woke at 9 a.m. and left at 10 a.m., that is early for me.
Grateful that I got done what I needed to do, even though I fell asleep on a comfortable chair at the library. I slept for almost an hour, didn't fall out of the chair and didn't drop my book.
Grateful for the buffet at Nation's World, had a fruit salad today for lunch.
Grateful that I met two friend from the rooms of recovery and got a hug. One friend offered up prayer and said she would send me some healing thoughts when she got home.
Grateful she did, because I got all things done, filed my late tax report and because I had it done there last year, I only had to wait about 15 min. and the papers were ready for me to sign so they could send them away.
Grateful that I learned my lesson, was going to take a cab but chose to go on the bus. The ride was totally insane. I took a cab home. I chose to go with my friend instead of listening to the thought about the cab. Needless to say, my body made me very aware that it was not a good choice.
Grateful that an AA member was sitting alone and I was able to sit a moment and connect with him. He was a very big part of my recovery.
Grateful for the rain last night, thought it would cool things down. It is 27 deg. C (80.6 deg. F) and it is about 10:30 p.m. at night. We are suppose to get more rain and thunder storms tomorrow. I have no problem with it, unless it interferes with my tennis.
I did 3 loads of laundry when I got home, so was very tired. Had to change the bandages when I got done, felt like they were bleeding, but then I have a big magnifying overworked imagination.
Grateful for all those who walk this recovery journey with me.

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for yesterday and today.
Grateful I got done what I needed today.
Grateful that I decided to walk to the pharmacy downstairs. It made me realize I could not walk downtown, so my son went grocery shopping for me.
Grateful I had the sense to quit and then come back to post. I like to do it all at once, but lately it is taking me 3-5 hours and that is too long on the computer.
Grateful that Canada is still winning in tennis at Wimbledon.
Grateful that I have the food to eat, just don't feel like cooking it. Wanted to make a potato salad but didn't have green onions, so will try another day.
Grateful that my God makes Himself known to me each day.
Grateful that I unearthed some crystal (they could be plastic), but inside they have totems that I bought that were my own personal ones that I picked from Jamie Sams Animal Medicine Cards. I have the Bear which means Introspection, the Eagle which means Spiritual, and the Spider which says to go within for your answers.
Grateful that even though they say no rain, my body is inclined to disagree, and now they have changed their mind and say rain tonight and tomorrow. My sun is hiding behind a gray sky.
Grateful for all who walk this journey with me.

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for another day.
Grateful that I have made it through a few difficult days.
Grateful that the rain is suppose to stop tomorrow. My body is not grateful even though I tell myself rain is good, it is cleansing, and allows for growth.
Grateful that my son helped me with dinner. I haven`t been eating enough because I haven`t felt like cooking it. I look at food and turn away. Something my God and I are working on.
Grateful that our Canadian tennis players are through to next round. Eugene Bouchard has moved into the final and Milos Raonic is playing later this morning to see if he can get there too. The are both making Canadian History.
