Zana, I am glad you are sober but I am so sorry to hear of your loss.

Grateful for my healthy working body which I sometimes take for granted. Not to be a downer but my sister told me today her best friend (who the family well knows) has great sorrow. This week her friend's adult daughter was paralyzed in an equestrian accident and her parents were on a cruise in Europe and had to fly home. Grateful she has my sister in her devestation, and grateful my sister has us.

Continuing on a theme I guess, grateful my Dad sent us all a copy of advance directives today that he had drawn up for himself, I assume in lieu of his third surgery in September this is on his mind. Now that Mom is gone he has six next of kin (with his kids) so he wants to be clear I guess. Grateful he is so wise and brave and thoughtful at age 84.

Grateful for more fresh juices and taking a little more responsibility for my health. Have a long way to go though.

Grateful I am one of the waves in God's ocean of love.

Thanks, RZ!! I have another avocado squished up ready for me to make some more hummus.

Grateful for thinking it's time for me to go to an NA meeting again. I accidentally said the NA First Step in an ABA phone meeting today. I think it was a sign.

And grateful for realizing I need to be prepared to start grieving the 11th Doctor on Doctor Who since I will be watching the premiere of Number 12 tomorrow and I was very fond of 11. I'm excited about the new season, but also apprehensive. Just glad I can have feelings today and handle them.

Grateful is bed time and tomorrow's Saturday. And oh yeah I'm sober!
Grateful for a awesome challenging yoga class with a new (to me) teacher.
Grateful for quiet time in bed reading the big book.
Grateful I harvested some edible weeds - lamb's quarters- and steamed them for dinner. Quite good. Grateful I'm finally doing the tours of things I always "meant" to do.

I'm grateful that I'm lying next to my wife on the same bed instead in the guest room. Another benefit of sobriety.

Grateful for the few precious moments I got to spend with a friend before he passed away. I'm grateful he is free from the sickness and pain.

Grateful for a day out in the garden, It looks so much better than it did this morning.

Grateful for a visit from an elderly friend/neighbour, he's such an inspiration.

Grateful for firm tofu, it stir fries beautifully, and makes a quick and healthy meal.

Grateful for an easy sober day.
Grateful for qualifying in a meeting today, which I feel brought me closer to the group. Grateful for everyone's nice comments and handshakes.
Grateful to reflect back on how far I've come.
Grateful for how much simpler my life is now that I'm sober. Overall a lot less to worry about.
Grateful for peppermint tea, and nice time with my honey.

Grateful, like my friend HeadLump, for EQ's extraordinary gift with words.

Grateful -- though our winter is just a "coolness" to so many of you -- for signs of an emerging spring.
