Gratitude List

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for another day.
Grateful that I got to go on the bus trip to get Chinese food. It was a big risk for me. It was with people in my building, most of them were nameless to me. They were not recovery people, but Earthlings.
Grateful that I got to eat a lot of good food.
Grateful when I caught myself complaining because I wasn't told that the bus home wasn't coming for two hours after we eat. If I had known, I would have taken my walker. I just used my cane, thought we were just getting on and off the bus.
Grateful that I went even though I came home in a lot of pain. Thanks to posting, I think I can now lay down and go to sleep.
Grateful that my body has recovered enough to want to lie down.
Grateful that it was a beautiful sunshiny day.
Grateful for all of you who walk this journey with me. Sorry for the days I missed. I am afraid that some of them were not so grateful. Grateful that it didn't cause me to relapse. I can lapse without picking up the drug, but it is easy to go back to the old thinking and behaviours.
Grateful for all God's Children in today. Pay it forward.

This is one of my all time favourite picture. May the Light continue to glow in your life, especially during this upcoming holiday season.
