Grateful for a new day.
Grateful for yesterday, just never got here.
Grateful for the day before that, I slept the day away. I did give thanks for the sleep.
Grateful for the treatment at the Holistic Center. First on the agenda is always my hip that keeps going out, then it was my left shoulder, then my neck and headaches, ending up with a few minutes working on the swelling in my feet.
Grateful and then some when I got the latest James Patterson book, Private La.
Grateful for the fruit salad I got today, cantelope, honey dew melon, strawberries, grapes, and pineapple.
Grateful my son cook the steak and shared it with me. Just had steak on a bun, had to leave room for the apple pie I got on sale for $3.49.
Grateful I got to have a one on one with my friend and was sad to hear that he decided that he isn't using his drug of choice, just drinking some of that good old liquor. I am praying that he will decide to go to AA after seeing me, at least give it some thought and hopefully the thought will stay there and keep him from continuing to use and going back to his drug of choice.
Grateful for my God for putting him in my path today.
Grateful for the message I received that reminded me of how cunning, baffling and powerful our disease is. An older lady put her hand out for spare change, meanwhile she is smoking a cigarette. I thought, "Lady you have money for smokes, you don't need my money, the cost was one of the reasons I quit."
Grateful for the show "So You Think You Can Dance." In my head I am with them and they make it look so easy. I wasn't any way near that good even in my 'younger' days.
Grateful that today is 23 years of living one day at a time, with out drinking alcohol and abusing my medication and taking them as prescribed.
Grateful for the woman in recovery that said, "If one doesn't work, another one won't help. The body becomes immune and it manufactures the pain to tell you that you need more."
Grateful for all the people that have been put in my path for the last 23 years, including you here at the site who travel this journey with me.
Grateful for AA who originated the 12 Steps and were willing to share them with other fellowships. I couldn't stay sober until I found the spirituality of living this program, one day at a time, to the best of my ability. Some days I fall short, and other days, the blessings abound, and so grateful that each day is a NEW day.
