Gratitude List

[MajestyJo]

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.

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.
