| 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!!!! |

| 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. |

| (((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! |
