Grateful for this cup of coffee and the bird singing outside my window

Grateful for living in rural America

Grateful for the upcoming 4th of July. I am not worried about who will drive so I can drink....Oh how it all revolved around me! I look towards pleasing the young ones...the ones who should have come first all along.

I am grateful that I can act on this knowledge now.

I am grateful that I can become more like the mother I want to be.

Man that sounds so familiar. Makes me feel very shameful for the past. Thanks for posting it...nice eye opener, I will re-read when I feel like reconsidering my decision to go sober!

I am grateful for the roof over my head
my car
that my bills are paid
the health of my family and I
my dog
