Actually I am grateful that my mood changes alot...for me that means I don't have to worry that the bad feelings will last forever...they never do and I don't get false expectation that the good ones will last forever and get disappointed.

grateful that I am sober and have so much support

grateful that I am becoming more assertive, honest and clear without being mean hurtful or self sabataching!

grateful for dogs, sons, moms and dads.
for friends, coworkers, and oh yeah did I say dogs!!!!

My kids made a new friend today - she is from Korea and doesn't speak English. Yet they spent most of the day together laughing and having fun.

Kids are cool .

Grateful, oh so grateful, that the brief power outage I just had did not zap my computer. I thought it was fried as I tried a few times to start it but ended up with a black screen. Fortunately it "came back to life". I don't relish the thought of having to deal with real life without my wonderful cyber life.

Thank you God for sparing me lonely days and nights!



I hope this brief stubborness does not lead to future problems. I can't afford another computer right now.

Today I had to look honestly at the direction my spiritual path tells me I need to go in a particular situation in my life. Been vaguly aware that a dificult choice might be facing me....sorta hoping it wouldn't really become necessary. And perhaps it wont.

But because i have been blessed with the willingness to help others today, I spoke with a woman facing the very same situtaion that I am afraid of. I told her the truth of what I would need to do in that situation.....and realized that I know what I have to do and that I will do it if the situation arises.

I am grateful for how sobriety has changed me to where at some level I recognize what values are and am willing to live by my honest beleifs. Sometimes my beliefs are wrong, but I learn what I believe by living by what I think I believe. I think it is called integrity.

I am grateful that I have some integrity in my life today.

Love this (_rz_)

Grateful although I'm in a very bad place right now and have till next Thursday to
empty my apartment due to a very TOXIC man I can still feel lost but know that is only
for a short time.

Grateful that a lot is going on-I have and know I will find a solution and not be the pathetic codie I was 3 years ago!

Grateful LIfes lessons keep coming back until we learn them!

Grateful I know how to live life on lifes terms!

(((Rella))) Your friends on SR will be with you every step of the way in heart and spirit. (Sorry, I know that doesn't get the boxes packed and moved) We love ya!

I'm grateful to be a "step-grandfather in training." I never thought I'd be trusted enough to do that!
