Grateful for another day.
Grateful that it is a new beginning.
Grateful that yesterday was very full and very rewarding even though I had words and a confrontation with my son.
Grateful that I got to talk to both my sisters, not something that happens very often.
Grateful that it was a Serenity Prayer Day, things just unfolded as it should. The kind where you didn't have to wait for buses. The bus driver was courteous and lowered the ramp and allowed me to wheel my walker on the bus without having to lift it on with my groceries, things that I wanted for Christmas dinner on sale, things I hadn't thought of coming to mind or just there, giving me a 'god' moment, for which you just have to say a big thank you for. i.e. Had no thought of buying ice cream, my favourite and my son's favourite, both on sale for $3.99 each on sale.
Grateful that I got some sorting done, have been wanting to rearrange a dresser in my bedroom for some time and finally got it done tonight because there was nothing on TV that I wanted to watch. I could work and just listen to my music.
Grateful for my God's Goodness.
Grateful for all of you who walk this journey with me.

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for a day with family.
Grateful for a clean and sober Christmas.
Grateful for something that use to be difficult is something that is made much easier by me and my attitude. I only get out of it what I put into it. I don't go with expectations of myself or them.
Grateful that I have a program.
Grateful for my the Gift of Love and His Grace that shows me the way to live each day to the best of my ability, one day at a time, so grateful for His Blessings and Insight.
Grateful for all of you who walk this journey with me. I pray that you too had a safe and sober holiday.

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for a new day.
Grateful to be grateful.
Grateful that even though nothing much is happening, I can just allow myself to just be and I don't have to make it happen.
Grateful that I have freedom of choice today. Today I choose not to use. Today I choose not to go out in the cold.
Grateful that someone is only a phone call away.
Grateful that I have recovery people who live in my building.
Grateful that my son has gone for a walk and has left me to the pleasure of my own company, instead of watching football. (Yesterday he came by to watch wrestling)
Grateful that I know I have freedom of choice and can tell him no, even though most times I don't say it often enough.
Grateful that I have a choice as to what I am going to eat and what I am going to prepare to eat. Some people don't have that choice. For that, I will be eternally grateful. There were times in my life, I didn't have that choice.
Grateful for all of you who walk this recovery road with me.

Grateful that all things work for the higher good of all.
Grateful that when I went down to the pharmacy today that I got a box of biscuits covered in dark chocolate for 49 cents. $3. off, they are probably stale but should be okay for dunkin'!

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for another day.
Grateful that I don't have to go outside to get to the Internet Cafe. There is a connecting door between the mall and my senior complex.
Grateful that I was able to get out and about and get my shopping done before we got hit by all the snow and blistering weather. Will be even more grateful if roads are cleared before Thursday and Friday when I have to go to two doctor's appointments.
Grateful that I have John to bring my computer to, unfortunately, last Tuesday was almost over before I realized it was here and his time and the cafe was over. Duh!!!

Grateful for all the books I have read and all the tennis and curling I have watched while it has been down.
Grateful that on the whole my health has been quite good.
Grateful for friends and family, food, fun and fellowship. Don't get too much frolic any more, but went out and bought myself a new comforter and have had more time to take myself to my bed and gotten more sleep.
Grateful for those who walk this recovery road with me.

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for another day of sobriety.
Grateful that a new day is starting, hopefully it will bring more patience and tolerance than the last 24 hours. My computer has been slow and I have been slower.
Grateful that my computer is still working.
Grateful for a delicious dinner, even if I did make it myself. That hasn't always been true lately, very grateful to have a renewed interest in food back in my life.
Grateful that I got to watch some tennis. My fibromyalgia has come out of remission and hasn't allowed me to do a lot of things that I normally do.
Grateful that I finished my book. Looking forward to a new book by Richard North Patterson. I tried to read it before but was unable to do so because it isn't large print, so going to give it a valiant try to see if we can get through it this time.
Grateful that I have no pressing appointments because a lot of cold is in the forecast, although if my head ache persists I will have to try to get into see my chiropractor before we get any more snow.
Grateful for the blessings of each day. My God is very good to me. So grateful for the awareness of His Gracious Gifts each day.
Grateful for all who walk this journey with me.

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for another day.
Grateful that my son came to visit. He even brought his own lunch. He was grateful I made dessert. I made chocolate pudding.
Grateful that I heard from my son today. When I don't hear from him it generally means he is using. It was the same with my sponsees, no news was not always good news.
Grateful that my God answers prayer. I prayed and asked for help. I needed the energy and connection to catch up on the daily prayers.
Grateful that I got downstairs to the pharmacy and talked to my favourite pharmacist. I told her about getting the blood blisters on my feet from wearing my snow boots and having to cancel my doctor's appointment last week. She is going to put in for a renewal for my cholesterol and gout medications. Grateful that I am on the very lowest of doses 10 mg. for preventative measures and it is because of the fact that I am diabetic rather than the fact that I have high cholesterol. Grateful for small mercies, some people are not so fortunate.
Grateful for my pharmacist who is willing to take the time to talk things out with me. She informed me that I was no longer suppose to wear my boots if they hurt my feet. I can't afford blood blisters. They are what caused the problems I had before. She is wee and mighty and makes a great drill Sargent. More importantly, I tend to listen to her.
Grateful that curling and tennis is on. Not so grateful that our Canadian tennis player lost, but he did play a good game, lost 7/6, 7/6 to a Swedish player.
Grateful for a busy day, I finished my gook and started a new one Bones Never Lie by Kathy Reichs and trying to figure out if I have already read it. I have it to look forward to this weekend. Monday is Family Day, a holiday, but then every day is a holiday for me. It is a gift and most days are worth celebrating, especially now that I have my computer back.
Grateful for those who walk this journey with me.

Grateful for the closeness I have felt to my God over the last few days.
Grateful how things come together and things are provided and fall into place, and when you thing there is nothing there is always something.
