ananda · 07-31-2008, 08:06 PM

Trying to be grateful that I have a house to worry about. Wish I had a low-drama life today

Grateful it got dark so I don't have to finish mowing the lawn?

Just kidding, for real....

grateful that today I can do the next indicated thing

grateful i don't have to base my plans on being drunk

grateful i can have some since of centeredness even though I want others approval

grateful that i have grown, am growing and will grow more.

Today, I spoke with a young man that I truly admire. We usually just say hello to each other. We talked about kids, fitness...had a few laughs. Recently, his wife and young son passed away yet I always see him out with his young daughter, working hard, or at the fitness centre. He just keeps on living, determined and strong. Incredible.

A good man.

Grateful for honesty and the door it opens for amends later down the road.

Will be more grateful if they STAY closed all night!

Grateful I found a place to live (even if not happy there)
Grateful that I can sit in tears and this horrible place that I'am in and be AWARE today that I can get out of this horrible place by working at it.....
