Gratitude List

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for an almost full day of gratitude and sobriety. It slipped for a short time this afternoon when my son was late cleaning my oven as promised.
Grateful that I got out to pick up a few groceries and go to the library.
Grateful that five books I ordered had come in.
Grateful that I got some dishes done.
Grateful that I have my recipes and ready to go if I sleep tonight and wake up early enoough in the morning to make my pies.
Grateful that my sister reminded me it is best to thaw my chicken out in the refrigerator.
Grateful that I have the making of a good Christmas dinner. My son doesn't like turkey, but will eat it. So chicken, cranberries, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, glazed carrots and broccoli with a cheese creamed sauce. I hope to make pumpkin pies and cherry mixed fruit pies.
Grateful that I had bought the food and had it here when Christmas plans were cancelled.
Grateful that I am almost finished my James Patterson book and have an Iris Johansen on deck.
Grateful that I taped some holiday specials, like one on Queen Elizabeth II.
Grateful for sobriety. Having soundness of mind is a gift from God.
Grateful that I got my annual Christmas call from the young man who lived next door to me for several years. He is blind and he moved to Ottawa area to be with family.
Grateful that today's pain didn't have me down for the count. My head ache is better, so grateful for that. I wasn't sure I would be able to post today.
Grateful for all those who walk this journey with me. God Bless.
Grateful for Christmas, and the reason for the season. The birth of the son of God, who now sits on the throne and mediates for us.
