Gratitude List

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for another good day even though it was one with a lot of pain.
Grateful that I got some posting done even though I didn't get all that I had hoped to do.
Grateful that my son came by, even though he took his food to go. (I wanted to get rid of my leftovers)
Grateful that I could think through the pain and get everything done that I needed to do today. I didn't even need to make a list and check it twice.
Grateful that I didn't lose it at Housing today. I was told to pick up my rent receipt on Monday morning, but because I haven't felt well, didn't go until until today. When I went today to pick it up, it wasn't there. I informed them that I had the same issue last year and that I didn't appreciate having to go through the same thing again. I said that I would come back tomorrow and hopefully the receipt would be available then for me to pick up. She checked and apparently my request was filed, so more will be revealed. Last year it hadn't been filed, so that is an improvement.
Grateful that I listened to myself. I told my friend's that I needed to be home for 1 p.m. I felt bad about rushing home, because I couldn't remember why I needed to be there other than the fact that my favourite TV show was coming on and I hadn't had lunch. When I walked in, my alarm clock was ringing and had been going for 4 min. It was a good thing I had listened to myself. There was a time I would have ignored that voice if I was doing something that I wanted or liked to do.
Grateful that a day can start any time, my feet are really bothering me and I am having a hard time concentrating so having to call it quits.
Grateful for all who travel this journey with me, may we all continue to walk clean and sober.

Grateful for another day, although I seemed to miss most of yesterday.

Grateful for another day.
Grateful that it wasn't my computer that was the problem yesterday.
Grateful that I was able to post today, even though I missed the daily posts from Angelwinks yesterday.
Grateful that the chest pains haven't gotten worse, but will be glad to see the specialist on the 17th to confirm that it is the Fibromyalgia and not my heart.

Grateful that when I pray, my God changes my thinking when I ask.
Grateful for my God's forgiveness, I haven't made a list for three days.
Grateful for that Canada got through to the next level in tennis. I am very patriot when it comes to things like that. I was sad that our Norther Ontario team lost, but they have had a long run, and they lost to a team that came together and played a better game, after a poor start, kudos to B.C.
Grateful to those who walk this journey with me.

Grateful for all those who walk this journey with me.

Grateful for another day. Truthfully, I was worrying about the chest pains earlier, thought I was going to have to take myself off to the hospital, even though I really didn't think it was my heart. I did think it was circulation, and because I thought they would hospitalize me for that, I didn't want to go.
Grateful I took it to my God and listened. If I felt led to go there, I would have gone. I might have gone kicking and screaming all the way, but I would have done it quietly and obeyed the Hospital Quiet Zone.
Grateful that I felt like eating when I woke up, even cooked broccoli and cauliflower to go with my Stouffer Meatloaf TV dinner.
Grateful that tennis is on, still not able to concentrate on reading at the moment.
Grateful for blessing received and the answers to my prayers.
Grateful I was able to meet with my friend Marilyn today for lunch.
Grateful that I didn't fall going and coming as snow banks are melting and this morning sidewalks were icy, but it was so nice to see sun and warmer temperatures. Most of the snow is gone, but some of the streets around me have big trees and big old homes, so don't get much sun.
Grateful for those who walk this journey with me.

Grateful for music this morning. Just had a smile. The song was, "If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me." Remember whens come in many forms.
Grateful for the music without words, it just seems to soothe my soul. It helps me to calm my own internal dialogue.
Grateful for the following picture today. It just made me smile. I love cats. I can't be around them. I am glad that I can enjoy them by enjoying a picture like this. He is so cute and cuddly and thinking sleepy thoughts.

Grateful that I saw a couple of people from the program even though I didn't have time to sit down and talk with them.

Grateful that I got some great deals at Denninger's. I got two Cottage Rolls, they were so lean and will last a long time. Everything is packaged so I just have to split it in half and it makes it just right for me. It was like they knew I was coming.
