Grateful for another day.
Grateful that I was able to get some posting done.
Grateful that I got the prayers posted. My hands have been bad and I am having trouble grasping the mouse to highlight large pieces of material.
Grateful that it is close to dinner time. My stomach is saying it is hungry, and that is good.

Grateful that I have two TVs!
Grateful that the sun has shone for most of the day although rain clouds are threatening.
Grateful that I got out to have lunch with my friend yesterday. My lunch today was cancelled, but that was good, I think I needed to stay home and catch up on my posts and take it easy.
Grateful to hear from my sister the other day. I called her the other day because I realized we hadn't connected for a few days. We don't have a lot in common, but she is my sister, and I love her dearly.

Grateful that what seems so important and such a big priority in my life, really doesn't matter in the spirit of things. My recovery does have to come first followed by my health and well being.
Grateful for all who walk this journey with me. May you continue to walk in God's Love and Light.

The skunk means respect. Respect yourself and others. It is something earned, not something to be just given because you feel it is your place to do so. If you don't respect yourself, how do you expect others to respect you?

Grateful for a new clean and sober day.
Grateful that I felt well enough to start catching up on September prayers.

Grateful that I remembered to go downstairs for my Blister Pack of medications for the week. I am grateful for the concept, it helps me to remember to take my meds and lets me know when I have missed them.
Grateful for sunshine and cooler temperatures.
Grateful to have talked to my sister today. I love her dearly, I just can't stand being there when she is looking after 2-22 kids. I figure she should retire now that she is almost 70, but kids have been a part of their whole life. Her daughters refused to have children of their own, which is kind of sad.
Grateful that my dancing shows finale is on and The Voice is just beginning.
Grateful for those who walk this journey with me. Keep on truckin'!

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for a new day, even though it didn't start out too well.
Grateful for the lesson, "I don't have to have a bad day, I have the tools to change it. I can have bad moments in a day, without it spoiling my whole day.
Grateful that my son brought me some fresh tomatoes yesterday. I had them last night for dinner, a bedtime snack and had a sandwich for breakfast.
Grateful for the blessings in my life. I try not to discount the small ones and remember to say thank you for all things.
Grateful that Thanksgiving is coming up, even though each day is one of gratitude. It is one of my favourite holidays. Mind you, any time I have a meal of turkey, stuffing, cranberries, mashed potatoes and gravy, I am grateful.
Grateful that I made it here to the site today. I was hurting and tried to lie down, but it didn't happen, so came online to get some spiritual food after doing a meditation. My thought for today was "Release." Let go, not only of the old, but all those little things that can add up to be a big thing if I hang onto them. How important is it? Let go and let God.
Grateful for freedom of choice. I try to use the gift wisely.
Grateful for all those who walk this journey with me. God Bless! May you always be surrounded by His Love and Care.

Grateful for music. It always seems to connect me to my soul and grounds me in the moment.
Grateful for all of you who walk this journey with me.

[MajestyJo]

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for another day of sobriety.
Grateful that I got to go downstairs to the mall, even though I didn't go down town.
Grateful that I got a phone call from a long time friend. We don't see much of each other these days, but when we do, we just pick up where we left off. People like her are special in my life.
Grateful that my food was edible, even though I didn't enjoy it too much. Lessons learned every day, I think I tried too hard and thought too much.
Grateful that Dancing with the Stars and The Voice are on tonight. I also tape Antique Roadshow and Chopped from the Food Network.
Grateful for the gift of meditation. The Cow card (was blank and I put a sticker on with a Holstein cow on it). I have pulled it several times this last week.

Grateful that today has been relatively pain free. I could stay out of bed today, and kept feeling the need to go back to bed. I guess I needed it. They say you never get caught up, but today feels like I am almost there. A sure sign is that when I look in the mirror, I hardly have any wrinkles and tired lines, which isn't easy when you are 73.
Grateful that the program is applicable to all areas of my life. Substitution doesn't work, it keeps me sick mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. I am grateful that I don't have to pick up alcohol and I don't abuse my prescription medication, but the stinking think can come back. The key thing that triggers my thoughts is the word 'more' and when I think more, than I am in my dis-ease.
Grateful for my God's care, love and forgiveness.
Grateful for the sunshine the past two days. Hope it doesn't hide behind the clouds tomorrow when I have to go to my doctor's appointment.
Grateful for all of you who walk this journey with me.

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for another day of sobriety.
Grateful that I was able to accomplish what I needed to do.
Grateful that I was able to connect with my friend Barb.
Grateful that I was able to catch up on some Chopped and Chopped Canada shows that I had recorded. Maybe that is why I haven't been hungry and haven't eaten my dinner.
Grateful for all things big and small.
Grateful that I have had no pain in my feet all day.
Grateful for all of you who walk this journey with me.

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for another day.
Grateful that the new medication takes away my pain, but not liking how it makes me feel. I feel like I am stoned. It say it will take three days to work, so today is the day I come to a decision as to whether I am going to continue taking them. Feeling stoned is not how I want to feel with 24 years of sobriety.
Grateful that I got my chicken soup on.
Grateful that I got 7 hours sleep without waking up.
Grateful for a day that is turning out to be sunny even though there has been rain.
Grateful for my God's Love and Caring, which sees me through each day.
Grateful for all of you who share this journey with me.
