Gratitude List

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for another day of sobriety.
Grateful for the gifts I found in Cole's book store. Gifts from me to me. A book with 50 cards on crystals and a Buddha Board for meditation.
Grateful that I listened to myself. I told a friend the other day, every time I try their turkey dinner, I always find fault with it. Well I went and ordered it again and I was right. Today it was bacon in the dressing, they didn't add ginger to take the gas out of the spices, and it keeps repeating and telling me, did you finally learn your lesson.
Grateful that I found a big pillow, which was $3. cheaper than the regular size.
Grateful that my migraine eased so I could go downtown although I am still not feeling up to par. I am still thinking laundry, not sure I will get there.
Grateful for curling. I think it will be my entertainment for tonight, and again the laundry is still there waiting for another day.
Grateful that I got an easy-boy chair from my friend who lives in the building. He was going to throw it out, but it will help me to put my feet up and hopefully, help when my feet swell. A true gift, just what the doctor ordered and my God giveth! It may be second hand, but it new to me.
Grateful that the rain that was forecasted didn't happen and I didn't have to dodge the drops on my way downtown.
Grateful for the little things, they add up to big things.
Grateful for all those who walk this journey with me. God Bless.

Grateful that I got a call today from a girl I use to sponsor.
Grateful I was able to reach a couple of friend today, I thought of them while I was out so made a point of calling them when I got home.
Grateful that the water was turned back on when I got home. It was a real bonus to have hot water instead of having to wait for it to get hot.

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for another day of sobriety.
Grateful that I recorded the CMA show last night, saved it to watch again. So grateful to see all the country singers from days of yore.
Grateful that I made it to my group today. I took a birthday card to the girl who celebrated last week. I also gave her a Citrine crystal. I got the message that she needed it. I was going to give her a choice from the bag I carried, but I got the thought she needed that particular one.
Grateful that I was able to stop at the shop Harmony on the way home and by another one for myself and a piece of honey calcite which I never had before.
Grateful that I took the time to eat. i realized by waking up late I had not eaten since 3 a.m. so took myself to KFC for my two wings and coleslaw. Too bad it wasn't Tuesday and it is half price.
Grateful that I had the thought to go to the library. I checked on my computer last night and I had no books on hold. When I went to check out an express book, a book I had ordered had come in.
Grateful when I listen to that still small voice instead of discounting it. When I was using, it is the selfish, self-centered me. When I am spiritual connected to my God each day, it comes from within and is my Higher Self which is connected to my God.
Grateful that my computer has a back space, delete, redo, and bring back (ctrl Z and ctrl Y)
Grateful that my brain was able to get my mind around some of the technology of the computer. I am glad I went back to school in 2001. I am sad that I left the Group Freedom of Recovery, but in today, I know it was meant to be. I wouldn't have been able to go online and find recovery when I was too ill to get out to meetings.
Grateful for good food and fellowship today. My son is cooking dinner (chicken, rice, and peas), and he cleaned my kitchen on his day off while I went to my AA group.
Grateful today that I was able to get out to a meeting four times this week. It has been a long time since I was able to do that.
Grateful that each day is a new beginning. God is as He reveals Himself in today.
Grateful, God willing that I have to have two sets of blood work done tomorrow, hoping the sun will keep on shining.
Grateful for all of you who walk this journey with me. God Bless.
Grateful that this angel changes every day.

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for another day of sobriety.
Grateful that the angel on my previous post changed ever day.
Grateful that I have been busy, not so grateful that I was too busy to post my gratitude.
Grateful that I was able to get out to 4 meetings this week.
Grateful that I got to play bridge on Friday, hope to make it a regular thing.
Grateful that I help my own, but need a lot of practice. Just like this program, it takes practice, practice, practice.
Grateful that I am feeling better today, but still not up to par. I haven't been up long, but my bed is calling me.
Grateful that I was able to grocery shop yesterday. Looking forward to the spareribs planned for tonight, hope I am up to eating them. Food and me don't always seem to be on the same page. When it is time to eat, I don't feel like it or if I eat, my stomach gets upset.
Grateful for this second opportunity at life. The saying, "If you aren't enjoying recovery, what are you doing wrong?" has been popping into my head lately. Perhaps one of the reasons I made it to meetings this past week.
Grateful that I see my doctor on the 7th and my eye specialst on the 11th.
Grateful that I got in to see my heart specialist. He wasn't very happy with me because I forgot my list of medications. I have to go back and get fixed up with a monitor and have an ECG, at least I think that is what it is called.
Grateful that I can start a day any time, I think I am going back to my bed so I can wake up again, and hopefully, I will feel better.
Grateful for all of you who walk this journey with me. God Bless.

Grateful for my computer. It takes me places I have never been and will likely never go and I get to meet people from all around the world. My computer makes the world a very small place.
Grateful for my God. He helps me to maintain my sanity as well as my sobriety.
Grateful that there is a God or I would not be here in today.
Grateful that my group is tomorrow. I am looking forward to it.

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for another day. Not sure I can say sobriety, because I slept the whole day away and woke up in pain. Eight hours sleep for me is a miracle. The only problem was I woke up in pain from head to toe. I am grateful for the sleep, not so grateful for the pain.
Grateful for the food I have to eat.
Grateful that I have freedom of choice.
Grateful for my apartment and that I have a home. It is cold and raining outside, and I would not last long out there, if I was ever to become homeless. A special prayer to those who do not have a safe place to live.
Grateful for all the blessings over the last few days, sorry I haven't shared them, now I have forgotten them.
Grateful that people had a good Thanksgiving. I am Canadian and already had our celebration, but had thought of celebrating with all of you who have become friends. I didn't cook a big dinner, but had a Stouffer's TV turkey dinner with cranberries and pickled beets.
Grateful that I got to my home group and had the honour of chairing the meeting. It was a good one.

Grateful to have it washed, dried, and folded.
Grateful that my son cooked dinner. It was delicious. Roast loin of pork with the bone in, carrots and mashed potatoes.
Grateful for the sun that appeared today even though I didn't go out in it. Hoping it will stick around so I can go grocery shopping.
Grateful that I have an eye doctor's appointment next Friday as I have had problems with my eyes watering. I think it is just from too much reading.

Grateful that every time I came out of a building after an appointment, it wasn't raining and I didn't get wet.
Grateful that I got to see my chiropractor even though he wasn't pleased that it was 4 weeks since I had seen him. He asked me to come back in 2 weeks.
Grateful that I made it to my Al-Anon meeting. I love the Traditions. We tend to forget, what is applicable to our group, can be applied to our home life and life in the community.
Grateful that I got to see the heart specialist.
Grateful that I remembered to take an updated list of my medications for him plus a few readings from my blood pressure test.
Grateful, I think that he ordered two new medications. One is an additional fluid pill, but nt the same as I have got and has a different purpose. I was too tired tonight, so go back to discuss it tomorrow. I always check with my pharmist to make sure my medications are compatible.
Grateful that curling and tennis has been on.
Not so grateful that I missed the Country Music Christmas show. I thought I had it set to record, but it and Dancing With The Stars didn't copy. I had a wee talk with my son, and I reminded him that Monday nights are my nights, and he had his wrestling, and other things were off limits.
Grateful that I can talk with him and not acting out in my disease and play into his games.
Grateful that my body is finally calming down and I think I will be able to get some sleep. I just pray it isn't a two hour sleep.

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for another day sober. I must admit that there were moments in the day that were not my best.
Grateful that my friend John was able to fix my computer.
Grateful that he is a friend and wouldn't take any payment for it.
Grateful that I was able to carry on a conversation with Darts, and realized that I should have phoned and confirmed my contract had gone through. Waiting for 45 min. only to have a no show, tried my patience and tolerance.
Grateful that I was able to have an afternoon nap, if you want to call 3 hours a 'nap.'
Grateful to be able to post again. I had to make additional efforts to fill the void of not being able to come and post. I do have to admit that I missed Bejewelled3 the most.
Grateful that my son cooked a delicious dinner, roast pork, mashed potatoes and kernal corn. I made the gravy.
Grateful that I had flour. I don't like to admit that I used it to make the gravy, but there was a lot of grease, so put the flour into it and whisked it up, and added potato water and chicken stock. It turned out really yummy! They say equal parts oil and butter, but I didn't measure.
Grateful that I got an appointment to see the foot specialist next week. The pharmacist looked concerned and reminded me that I was diabetic. Polisporin and peroxide doesn't seem to be doing much healing, so could use some prayers.
Grateful for my God, Who is the Master Healer.
Grateful for my program. I qualify for just about any room you put me in. The 12 Steps are a common denminator.
Grateful for all who walk this journey with me.

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for another day of sobriety. Haven't been up too long to lose it. Last night was questionable, but that is another story.
Grateful for this program that guide me and lead me to my own recovery program. I had to find out what worked for me. Going back to where I came from was not an option. I chose life, and I found a willingness to stay clean and sober, no matter what.
Grateful that my freezer, refrigerator, and pantry are full. That is until my son gets to it. LOL!
Grateful that the sun is shining, even though I don't plan to go out and about today.
Grateful that my cold hasn't gone into my chest. Trying to do what I need to do to get rid of it.
Grateful that my computer fixed. I was so happy to be able to play Bejewelled3 before signing off last night. Haven't played yet today, but that is where I am heading when I leave here.
Grateful for curling. I am catching up on my recorded programs. I always seem to be a day behind. I see it as shuffleboard on ice. Never did like shuffleboard, but enjoy WATCHING curling.
Grateful for choices. In today, I choose to be clean and sober.
Grateful for all who walk this journey with me. God Bless.
