Gratitude List

[MajestyJo]

Thanks for sharing, have the following in a plaque in my kitchen. I got it in Atlantic City when my son was 4 years old and in 4 months, he will be 50.

THANKS

Thank God for dirty dishes,
They have a tale to tell.
While others may go hungry,
We`re eating very well.
With home, health and happiness,
I shouldn`t want to fuss.
By the stack of evidence,
God`s been very good to us.

Grateful for the sunshine. Any day with sunshine is a good day!
Grateful that I met up with my friend Barb at Tobey's and had a good visit.
Grateful that my chiropractor was pleased with my adjustment but wasn't happy that it had been so long since my last visit. As a result, he wants me to go back next Friday.
Grateful that a follow up visit is No Charge!!!
Grateful that I ran into a fellow AA member. I was in the rooms when he came in. Others didn't have faith in him, but I did. He not only needed it, but wanted it. Some of the doubter themselves relapsed.

By the looks of things I have been short on gratitude the last few days.
Grateful that I am clean and sober through it all.
Grateful for the tools of recovery that allowed me to work through my issues the last few days.
Grateful for the friends who have been there for me.
Grateful that my doctor asked me to come in for a follow up, just hoping and praying I can get there and the sidewalks are cleared.
Grateful that the new medication seems to be working. Not sure I want to take it, I search the side affects and they scare me. I will be keeping a careful watch on how my body reacts to it. So far, they haven't helped the pain in my feet.
Grateful that I found the energy and the desire to make chocolate pudding.
Grateful that my pantry, deep freeze and refrigerator are full. Too bad I haven't felt like eating. It won't go anywhere, unless my son comes to visit.
Grateful for meditation. I don't know how I would survive without it.
Grateful that my God is good. Good is God being anonymous.
Grateful for all of you who walk this journey with me.

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for another day of sobriety.
Grateful that I made a connection with others in recovery and with friends in today.
Grateful that I got some sleep. It felt like caught up sleep and felt much better when I woke up.
Grateful for my grilled cheese, it worked for me and don't have the feeling of 'more' and the blessings of the day that allow me to say enough.
Grateful that the sun was shining. It felt even better being out in it. I was grateful that I had to wait on my bus and could soak some of it up.
Grateful for the program that showed me a new way of life. I no longer have to act out in my dis-ease.
Grateful for the 12 Steps, they are applicable to all areas of my life. I don't have a drinking and drug problem, but those thinking problems can get me every time if I don't walk with my God and work the program into my life.
Grateful that I no longer have to sweep things under the rug or hide them away. I can face my fears and walk in faith knowing the program works for me and my God is near.
Grateful for those who walk this journey with me. God Bless.

Grateful for another day of sobriety.
Grateful for the sunshine and warmer weather.
Grateful that I got to a meeting and met up with some old friends and met some new ones.
Grateful that things just unfolded the way it should. I hadn't planned to turn right after getting off the elevator at the market but I did. I met a girl who had relapsed and gave her an Al-Anon Forum I had in my purse and an AA meeting list along with my phone number.
Grateful that I met a new friend at the meeting, gave her the address of this site because she will be going back to work and won't always be able to get out to meetings. I gave her my phone number too and said, "Call me any time." If I am not available, my answering machine will take your call and I will call you back. Calls from other people help me too.
Grateful that I am able to post. Wasn't feeling sleepy when I got home, so glad to share my awesome day with you.
Grateful for all those who walk this journey with me. God Bless.

Grateful for another sober day. My gratitude is long overdue.

Grateful that I don't have to go out, the wind is picking up and all that freeing rain and snow that is forecast for the next two days. Doesn't sound like spring to me. March sure is going out like a lion.

It looks like my gratitude has been lagging and I have some catching up to do. I have been having problems with my computer and am trying a new server, to see if things will be easier to post. I am not too sure about the pictures, I know how to do the ones from my computer, but have to find a site yet, that gives me my animated animals.

Grateful for another day sober, even though the day started before 7 a.m. I don't do mornings well.
Grateful that the power is back on. My alarm was flashing at 2:30 a.m., so it looks like I might be able to cook today if they don't turn it off again.
Grateful that I have food to eat that doesn't need cooking; because the water is shut off, possibly until 4 p.m. today.
Grateful for a good birthday. It was so nice to hear from friends wishing me Happy Birthday.
Grateful that I got out to my doctor's appointments. I took a taxi because it was raining too hard to dodge the drops. On the way home, I had a big umbrella that kept getting me stuck in doorways and cubicles and was more trouble than it was worth. I kept saying, "You should have left it at home, you won't melt."
Grateful for the sunshine today. It took all the snow away. A day of snow is a bit much, it took away any illusions of spring being just around the corner.
Grateful for my God who sees me through each day.
Grateful that my God sends you to share this journey with me.
