I am grateful for my job, which I love. I am grateful that I can enjoy my own company. There was a time when I hated to be alone and now it nourishes me.

Oh, that is so true Vic!

Tonight it's me and Kona and it's wonderful. There was a time when I would have done almost anything to avoid that.

I am grateful to have God in my life. I had lost my spiritual connection for awhile and having it back since I stopped drinking, has been a huge blessing.

Yes I am grateful that I am connecting with my God as well and it sure does help. Grateful that today I do have something more powerful than myself that is always there to help me out along the way.

Grateful this morning for the birds outside singing.

I am grateful my for life, experiences, all the people that I have had contact with, all that I have lost and gained, the belief systems that I have used as walls and the ones that have torn down the walls and I give all the praise and glory to the most high God.

I am grateful to know that I am enough and that I have what I need to get through each day. I don't need to search for more.

I am grateful for the beautiful thunderstorms we had last night. I love watching nature at its best. It gives me such a feeling of reassurance and faith, by reminding me that it's not all about me.

I too love nature and the power that it has behind it all and am in awe at so much of it these days. Grateful that I too can enjoy the simple things in life.

Grateful this morning to wake up to little or no wind and sunshine so that is a blessing to have today along with staying clean for another day.

I am grateful to know that when I feeling miserable, I am capable of changing my attitidue. The feelings don't own me, they are just feelings. I can accept them for what they are, let them go and decide to feel better.

I am grateful to know that I am strong enough to make it through whatever life has in store for me. Sobriety has shown me that I can take on anything and get through it.

I am grateful that I am clean today and even though Chance at rat poision he looks like he is feeling better today.

Had to induce vomiting on him and call the doctor he gave him 3 shots and said bring him in again today to repeat treatment. Just have to have some faith here.

I am grateful to have a good book to read. At the end of a day, it is so nice to get caught up in a story that is witty and intriguing and you just want to keep reading.

Quoting Anna...

I am grateful to know that I am enough and that I have what I need to get through each day. I don't need to search for more.

That sums it up for me as well.

and grateful for Vic and Chance's healing.

Love,

Grateful to post again today, don't think that I am getting any better but as far as the results on lab and everything it all came out OK. Might have to go to hospital Monday for more test.

Grateful that I am alive
