Freein14 - I agree....I'm grateful for paper versions of any reading material as well!
Grateful for allowing myself to take a nap yesterday - boy was it wonderful! I never nap!
Grateful for a day of strength and encouragement yesterday that came from within and from coming here to SR when I was at a moment of weakness.

Grateful when I couldn't sleep last I finally got up and did some things around the house till I got tired. Don't have to work today so just tried to go with it.
Grateful I also watched a really good old classic movie during the night I'd never seen before.
Grateful that i am aware how fortunate i am to be alive, safe and sober. For 899 days. It never sounds like enough days to me. I always want more because I always know how fragile it is.

Grateful for a pretty quiet day, as I didn't sleep well. Grateful to swing by the Farmers Market, start packing for my retreat next week and go to church this evening.
Grateful that mentally I am in a fairly decent place. More balanced than I've felt in a while.

Congratulations Oceanlady! 
Grateful for a new prayer to reflect on.
Grateful for a lovely sunny morning, and the chance to be out in the garden today.
Grateful that each new day is a fresh start. I don't have to dwell on the past or anticipate the future, my life is here in this moment. And this moment is actually delightful (porridge bubbling on the stove, checking in to SR, birds waking up, quiet house, peace..)

Grateful that I'm no longer like the guy that was hanging out the car door, puking his guts out this morning in the McDonald's parking lot. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt
Grateful for another day sober.
Grateful for another day sober.
Grateful for this too, Rusty!

Grateful Rusty is okay!! 
Take care, dear!
Grateful i had dreams that reminded me there are many options to my problems (or as Rusty has taught me: "my situations") and I shouldn't rule out solutions automatically.
Grateful when I had sudden, surprising and strong drinking thoughts last night, (when I let my mind drift away into an imagined future), I got back in my sober mindset and backed away from those thoughts immediately.
Grateful I then played a meditation video on youtube and got rooted in the present again. I am always happy I don't drink when I am in the present. Or relieved I don't drink is more like it!
Grateful my widower 84 year old father has many people who love him. Last night he texted me and said he needed to cancel our lunch plan as he mistakelnly double booked. My nephew and his family are coming to see him today and stay overnight and he forgot it when he scheduled with me. Very grateful he is not in a lonely or painful place and that I don't have to worry about him nor he about me.
