Grateful for a new day and a start to a new week.
Grateful for a good weekend. Visited with friends yesterday. He was a member of my AA group and has over 40 years of sobriety. Grateful that it rained, hoping it will cool things off. Grateful that I made it downtown before the rain came. Grateful that I met up with a recovery friend at the mall. Grateful that I got to go to the library, my home away from home. Grateful that I listened to myself and took the bus instead of walking in the heat and humidity. I can be my own worst enemy. Grateful that Dancing with the Stars was on tonight, taped it and now I can sit and watch it when it is cooler. Grateful for all of you who walk this journey with me.

Grateful for another day.
Grateful that I got some posting done, even though I feel sick and have to quit, some is better than none. Grateful that my God is always there. Grateful that when I ask, I get the answer if I listen. Grateful that when I able to find the quiet amongst the chaos. Grateful for tennis, I have enjoyed watching it these past few weeks in Montreal, Toronto, and Cincinnati. Sorry that our Canadian players didn't do well, but at least they keep trying. That is all we are asked to do. Grateful for all of you who walk this journey with me.

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 my son came by today. It is always good to see him when he is clean and sober. Not so grateful that I have had to listen to wrestling while he was here. 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 for my God's many blessings, teachings, awareness and experience in life that make me grateful for a second chance at life. Grateful for frogs. They carry the message to me to cleanse my body, mind, and spirit. FROG-Fully Relying on God. Grateful for all of you who walk this journey with me.

Grateful that I was able to post today.
Grateful to be still clean and sober and for another day. Grateful that even though I don't always feel like eating, the food is there and I do have choices. Grateful for the friends who have been a support. Grateful that my son helps me out. Grateful that I got to my Al-Anon meeting once this month. Weather and doctor's appointments kept me away for most of the weeks. Grateful that tennis was on and I could tape it. I ended up skipping through a lot of it. NOT so grateful that they put Curling on at the same time during the last week of play. 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 the leftovers tasted as good as they did yesterday. 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'!

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. http://www.whats-your-sign.com/dolph...symbolism.html

Grateful to be clean and sober. Without my sobriety, I have nothing.
Grateful that my hands and my computer have allowed me to post today. Grateful for my son's help over the last few weeks. Grateful for friends, what would a life be like without them? Grateful for the sun today, it is really cold here, it is suppose to go down to the freezing mark tonight. As long as the sun shines, it is an okay day. They were forecasting snow today!!! Grateful for food to eat, even though I have trouble lately, some days it just doesn't want to go down. Today I had a bowl of tomato soup and found myself wanting more! Grateful that I have a library about 7 blocks away, as I have been doing a lot of reading. I haven't even been able to watch much TV, I have 92 TV shows saved that I haven't watched. Grateful that this is one day at a time program. Grateful for all of you who walk this journey with me and I apologize for not being here to share with you.

Grateful for a new day!
Grateful for the sunshine and the much warmer temperatures. Grateful that I ran into friends and got hugs today. Grateful that I am meeting my friend Marilyn tomorrow and a date for Chinese food with Barb at the end of the week. So grateful for friends, they brighten up my life. Grateful that I have food to eat, even though I don't feel like always cooking it. Some days I don't feel like eating, but I know that isn't a healthy choice, so try to have something. 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.

Grateful for a new day. So glad a day can start any time.
Grateful that I enjoyed and ate my whole plate of food at dinner time. It was one of those occasions that you say, "I can't believe that I ate the whole thing!" Grateful that there are "Have too!" I haven't ran out of clothes, so I don't have to do laundry. Grateful that I have lots of clothes, even if many are long out of style. Grateful that I can be comfortable, although for me these days, it is a treat to dress up. Grateful that my God spoke and I listened. Grateful that tomorrow is another day and today becomes yesterday. If I can't do laundry tonight, I can always try again tomorrow. Grateful for the goodness of today. Meditation for today, "Simply smile and notice the profound and healing difference it makes." Grateful for those who walk this journey with me.

Grateful for another day of sobriety.
Grateful for sunshine. Grateful for the sales I found. Grateful that it is okay to buy myself a treat. Today I chose a piece of lemon meringue pie. Grateful for the food I have to eat, even when I have trouble eating it. Grateful that today is Friday. It didn`t turn out according to plan as my friend had to cancel our outing today, but it was a good day. Grateful I got a call from my sister. Grateful that I got some sleep and plan to head back there again for a nap. Grateful for all of you who walk this journey with me.

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. http://www.whats-your-sign.com/cow-a...symbolism.html 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.

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.

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.
