Grateful that I picked up James Patterson's new book the 14th in his series.
Grateful for dinner, I enjoyed it, even if I dumped my vinegar all over my fries and had to drain it off the plate. Definitely a JoAnne thing, I should know by now NEVER to pour things with my left hand.
Grateful that tennis and curling is on.
Grateful for all those who walk this journey with me. God Bless.

Grateful that the snow was delayed, I hope it doesn't stay, I want to get out to see my sister.

Grateful for another day of sobriety.
Grateful that my sister is going home tomorrow.
Grateful for my sore throat and swollen feet that didn't allow me to put shoes on and I didn't see her with all the wires and apparatus attached to her. She has a 4" and a 18" incision in her legs.
Grateful that the physio therapist was pleased with her progress and was able to do all the exercises and instructions he gave her for getting out of bed, and other duties she has to do. She has to use her cane for a few days to take the pressure off her leg.
Grateful that I got 6 hours sleep, even if it wasn't in the night time.
Grateful for tennis and curling, got to watch them when the pain was bad and I couldn't sleep.

Grateful for a good dinner sent to me by a friend.

Grateful that even though I had very little sleep last night, I made it through the day. I was totally out of it and had trouble getting out of my clothes I was so exhausted. I dawned my nightie and crashed. My nap lasted 3 1/2 hours, a bit long, but I felt much better.

Grateful for another sober day, not too much sobriety (soundness of mind) to be found.
Grateful that I didn`t have to go out and that I could postpone my chiropractor`s appointment to Friday instead of embracing the elements.
Grateful that I could take a walk downstairs to the Pharmacy to get some exercise to return my empty pill container. It has to be filled for Saturday as Monday is a holiday.
Grateful for a holiday, although for me, oft times, every day is a holiday. It is a day to celebrate and be grateful for.
Grateful that I don`t have to wake up in my son`s head tomorrow. I think he is going to feel a little worse for wear when he wakes up.
Grateful that I have choices as to what I am going to eat in today. I can choose healthy or not so healthy (not sure how it found it`s way into my refrigerator). LOL!
Grateful that I can still have a sense of humour in today. Even more grateful that my God has one too!
Grateful that I was able to come back and post this, very much long overdue.
Grateful for the skin I am in, even though it has been hurting the last few days. Not too grateful for the muscle spasms, cramping and chest pains.
Grateful that I am as happy as I make up my mind to be. Stuff happens, but it don`t have to let it cover me and bury me, I can shake it off and let go and let my God help me through each day, no matter what happens.
Grateful I can say, `Be gone, I don`t have time for you in today.`
Grateful for those who walk this journey with me.

Grateful that I am a work in progress and there is no race to be won. I would probably come in last every time. As I shared at my meeting today, "I am the busiest person doing nothing that I know." It doesn't seem like I do much, but there never seems to be enough hours in a day.
Grateful for all those who walk this journey with me.
