I am grateful that November is Gratitude month.
The weather has brought about runny noses
but doesn't stop me from smelling the roses.

I am grateful for the family I have.
They may not be who I want them to be
But they are the people God chose for me.

I am grateful for my job.
Have to pay the bills and buy the food
Earning that money sure feels good.

I am grateful for my husband.
He can be a butt when he has a bad day
And take me in his arms and love me anyway.

I am grateful for my friends.
They know when I'm busy and the phone doesn't ring
They know when I'm lonely and have the best timing.

I am grateful for my recovery.
I came to the rooms wanting a way out
I was taught what living is really about.

I am grateful for my feelings.
From accomplished to over whelmed, and satisfied to over stressed
Just accept them and feel them and know I am blessed.

I am grateful for the weather.
I live in the best and the worst of the seasons
The worst compliments the best with good reasons.

I am grateful for this group.
When there isn't a meeting to go anywhere
I can log on anytime and know you are here.

I am grateful for who I am.
Finally at last it's okay to be me
I deserve to live Happy, Joyous and FREE!
