Grateful for a new day.
Grateful that I returned my friend's call even if it was late. I was out when she left a message, I called her at 10 p.m. and at 1:52 a.m. I said, we have almost talked for 4 hours, should we talk another 8 minutes, and when we got off the phone it was 4:01 a.m. :)

Grateful that I got to go down to the library today. I went to pick up the 8 books that I had ordered and returned the one book I had read.

I left the library with 10 books, and add them to the 6 I got the other day,plus the 5 I didn't get read from before, makes me grateful that I have good eye sight.

Grateful for another day.
Grateful for a quiet day.
Grateful I woke up to watch tennis. Not so grateful that I fell asleep for 3 hours and missed most of it. :(
Grateful that I got the inspiration and motivation to make brownies. I figured my 3 hour sleep had to be put to good use.
Grateful that it is raining, not so grateful that there is suppose to be thunder storms tomorrow. I have 7 books waiting for me at the library when I am mobile.
Grateful that I was told to phone at 9 a.m. tomorrow morning for an appointment to see my doctor. If they don't feel it is important enough or I don't phone in time, appointments are gone and I have to try again. Not holding my breath, buy trying to have hope and faith. I really want to come off the Lyrica. I don't want to go around feeling stoned, after 22 years I don't need that. Better to be in pain than going around stoned. I have always found anti-depressants to be mind altering, and just because they come from my doctor, doesn't make them right for me and my sobriety.
Grateful that I want to be me, no someone who sounds and acts like they are out to lunch. :) Even if others don't see me that way, it is about how they make me feel. I am grateful that my God offers me a solution.

Grateful we are suppose to have sun. I have to call my doctor's office at 9 a.m. to see if I can get into see him about my medication. I really don't want to take it. It helped some pain, but it seems to cause more in other areas.
Grateful that I can change my mind, all I have to do is try to make my doctor see my way of thinking. Better to be in pain than walking around stoned. It doesn't happen all the time, but once was too much.
Grateful that through my God all things are possible. Grateful that means for my Higher Good, if it isn't good for me, my will or not, He says "No" not right now, or "NO way, you got to be kidding."

Grateful I went to sleep, was surprised because I had an afternoon sleep. Going to bed at 10:30 p.m. is a rare thing.
Grateful the test was over, not sure I liked the results. I think I had expectations that it would help take some of my pain away. Didn't happen. I was just more awake to feel it. ;)
Grateful when I get all this muck off that they slathered on me to attach their wires. Haven't been alert and stable enough on my feet to shower yet.
Grateful that I have an appointment with the Holistic Center to get a treatment on my hip that is out. My leg keeps giving out and I ache all over, so hopefully I will find relief. It is a place of prayer, and can't lose with that.
Grateful that I am able to post, even though I am a bit slow on the uptake.
Grateful for all of you who share this journey with me.

Grateful for the buffet at Nation's World, had a fruit salad today for lunch.
Grateful that I met two friend from the rooms of recovery and got a hug. One friend offered up prayer and said she would send me some healing thoughts when she got home.
Grateful she did, because I got all things done, filed my late tax report and because I had it done there last year, I only had to wait about 15 min. and the papers were ready for me to sign so they could send them away.
Grateful that I learned my lesson, was going to take a cab but chose to go on the bus. The ride was totally insane. I took a cab home. I chose to go with my friend instead of listening to the thought about the cab. Needless to say, my body made me very aware that it was not a good choice.
Grateful that an AA member was sitting alone and I was able to sit a moment and connect with him. He was a very big part of my recovery.
Grateful for the rain last night, thought it would cool things down. It is 27 deg. C (80.6 deg. F) and it is about 10:30 p.m. at night. We are suppose to get more rain and thunder storms tomorrow. I have no problem with it, unless it interferes with my tennis. ;)
I did 3 loads of laundry when I got home, so was very tired. Had to change the bandages when I got done, felt like they were bleeding, but then I have a big magnifying overworked imagination.
Grateful for all those who walk this recovery journey with me.

Grateful I got done what I needed today.

Grateful that I unearthed some crystal (they could be plastic), but inside they have totems that I bought that were my own personal ones that I picked from Jamie Sams Animal Medicine Cards.

We were in a coffee shop and a woman asked us to watch her shopping and her purse. I said to my friend, I wonder what she would say if she knew she was talking to a couple of recovering alcoholics?

Grateful my son cooked us a chicken dinner. He got a call not to go into work for the last two days.

Grateful for another day, even though it has been a rough one.

Grateful for another day. The one just past was very thin on gratitude.
Grateful for the spiritual awareness this program offers.
Grateful that I did not follow thought with action. I wanted to run away from home. Too bad I was in the middle of dinner at 7 p.m. or I would have gone to a meeting. The worst part was that the meeting was in the east end and I live central west.
Grateful that prayers are answered and my God can heal my thinking. I would have been all dressed up with no place to go.
Grateful that my son finally listened after telling him three times to turn down the TV. I think he forgets when he gets here that it is my apartment. Every once in a while, I have to set a boundary and remind him.
Grateful all of you and thank you for walking this journey with me.

Grateful that I got downtown today.
Grateful I bought a pair of thongs for $2.99. My old ones were really old.
Grateful that I stood up for myself. I didn't create the scene I would have prior to recovery. I never did like being called a liar. I slapped a girl who called me one and she ended up in the middle of a double bed. Not a nice situation, the lie didn't warrant my action.
Grateful that I don't have to act that way in today.
Grateful that I got some of my book read.
Grateful for a new week. Each day just slips away and time goes by.

Grateful for a new day. Yesterday's pain was manageable and allowed me to just be.
Grateful that it is a new day, my favourite show is on So You Think You Can Dance.
Grateful that tennis is on from 4-10 p.m. so I can do some channel surfing.
Grateful that it didn't rain all day.
Grateful for the gifts that were brought to my attention and the material I posted on the site. I enjoy going back to old posts and getting doubly blessed and new awareness.
Grateful for music, it is a strong spiritual connection for me.
Grateful for daily insights like the ones I had to day, my clothes don't grow with me and my skin isn't keeping up to my mind's eye and wishes.
Grateful for acceptance.
Grateful for the chicken salad sandwich I made and had with a strawberry yogourt.
Grateful for the site all who walk this journey with me.

Grateful for a new day even though I haven't finished with yesterday. Somewhere I lost some sleep, only found 2 hours.
Grateful that I got to the chiropractor. My hips are better. It feels like he missed a spot. Hopefully this too shall past.
Grateful that I got to watch my TV shows and got some of my book read.
Grateful that I got to talk to a couple of friends.
Grateful that there is going to be a lot of tennis in the next two months. It has always been something I enjoyed even though I never played a game in my life.
Grateful that I have freedom of choice.
Grateful that the people who travel this road with me has the same freedom. Do something that brings you pleasure.

Grateful that this day is almost done.
Grateful that prayer and meditation works, I have been fighting a migraine all day. Tried to post twice.
Grateful to be able to watch my tennis, because I sat with my feet on ice packs. The two Canadian players won their game.
Grateful that I got some dishes done and made hamburger with onions, spices (thyme, rosemary, ginger (helps with heartburn and helps the stomach if you have problem with spices), chili peppers, salt and pepper) and mushrooms, with garlic and herb spaghetti sauce, and added small and narrow elbow macaroni, mixed, simmered and then added yellow and white cheddar chesse and parsley flakes. It was good, but it didn't like me.
Grateful that I listened to myself and went down to the pharmacy to get my blood pressure taken. It was 157/83 and then 161/88, which is high for me.
Grateful I got the thought to phone the pharmacy, and she sent a fax to my doctor to get strips for my meter to test my blood. It is cheaper than buying two batteries.
Grateful that my God sends me the good orderly direction I need each day. Even more grateful that I listened and acted accordingly.
Grateful that darts are on, that just tops my day.
Grateful that I got some sleep today after having only 5 hours in 3 days.
Grateful that the pain has eased so that I can post. Hope it will continue to 1 a.m. when the messages change for tomorrow.
Grateful that I didn't lose my post. With the help of my tremon disorder, I ended back two pages from where I was typing. (gulp)
Grateful for those who walk this journey with me.

Grateful for another day, even though it was a bit humid.
Grateful for the humidity because the storm hasn't got here yet and I got to do what I needed to do.
Grateful that I had two books to take home to replace the two I took back. With tennis being on, I am getting behind schedule and may have to renew.
Grateful for the services offered to us in today. The library didn't have the book I wanted in their area, so they put out a request to other branches. More will be revealed, if not, it wasn't meant to be.
Grateful for the food I was able to get. I have an ice cream bar by Magnum that cried to me so loud, I just got up and took it out of the freezer. The outside is dark chocolate but the inside is a dark chocolate mousse.
Grateful that my God connected me to a couple of people, because I didn't see anyone I know.
Grateful that I am 20 day shy of my 23rd recovery birthday, God Willing!
Grateful for you all who walk this recovery road with me.
Grateful that I learned very early in recovery, don't forget how you got sober, who helped you along the way, and don't forget where you come from, and don't forget why you have a good day in today.

Grateful for a new day, even though I slept most of it away.
Grateful for the sleep, every time I woke up I rolled over and went back to sleep.
Grateful that I didn't miss tennis. Ever so grateful that two Canadians will be playing in the final. Canada #1 and Canada #2 players playing for the Citi tennis tournament cup in Washington, D.C. They are making history, it has never happened.
Grateful that even though I didn't feel hungry, I grazed all day.
Grateful that I got my book almost finished.
Grateful that the storm hasn't arrived yet, it is suppose to be 27 C which is 81 deg. F., hopefully I will be able to do most of my posting.
Grateful that my pain has eased and although I had other issues with my stomach, my feet didn't hurt until I sat down to post.
Grateful for all those who walk this journey with me.

Grateful for a new day, even though in my mind it is still Monday.
Grateful that my pain was decreased and my ankles were not swollen when I woke up from my big sleep!!!!
Grateful that the pain hasn't gotten too bad after doing all the posting I did, even though my feet and ankles are swollen again.
Grateful that my son cooked dinner, it is a holiday here and he didn't have to go to work.
Grateful for all the blessings and new awareness I received as a result of posting in the Spiritual Meditation. Sometimes I have trouble getting to the spiritual because of the religion, yet I know if I look deep, I will find both.
Grateful that the program of recovery is spiritual and that people of all religious beliefs can walk through the doors and get recovery.
Grateful for the hymns that came to mind tonight. They are ones I grew up on. The words come to mind, but I need to search on the internet for all the words. I am so grateful that they are still available.
