Today I am grateful that I made some extra money so I can buy a few more things tomorrow. I am grateful that all my family and friends made it home safely on the icy streets. I am grateful that the day is almost over and I can go to bed soon.
This may sound a little funny, but I am also grateful that Carl passed away. The cancer he had was eating him away. He died with 20 years sobriety, and never found it neccessary to pick up a drink to kill the obvious pain he was in. What an example of living life on life's terms.
