What are you thankful for?
I'm feeling low today and I think I need to remind myself of what's really important.
Today I'm thankful for:
- S.R. and all you wonderful people who are here to share this journey with me.
- a warm house to wake up in
- a good cup of coffee :morning
- the little neighbour girl who waved to me from across the street this morning, it made me smile
- the really good job that I have, and it's payday
- the make-up that I bought myself yesterday with no guilt!
So what are you thankful for?

wow - what am I thankful for? hmm that's a long, long list - but I'll try to keep it brief
MY RECOVERY
My relationship with the God of my understanding
my family, daughters, grandchildren, etc. (all of them-lol)
the knowledge that when the alcoholics/addicts in my life relapse - I don't have to relapse with them
the ability to decorate my home for Christmas after 2 yrs of not being able to do so
my SR & f2f recovery families
and most of all
the inner peace that no matter what me & my God are going to be ok - even better than OK.
Wishing you Serenity & Joy,
Rita

I am grateful for every single moment of my seemingly ridiculous little life.
I am grateful that I have this life to live, all these minutes to fill with fun, funny, brilliant, sad, exhausting, difficult, beautiful, confusing moments of grace. I'm grateful for my lovely flawed humanity.
I am grateful for all of you.

For all of you
For my beautiful daughter
For having had the opportunity to share my other beautiful daughter's short life with her
For having so many wonderful people in my life
For a crazy, frantic but nonetheless interesting and challenging job that supports me well
For the beauty of nature
For the joy of little things
For my relationship with my Higher Power
For recovery
For my beautiful daughter
