Let's use the alphabet....
From today's reading......

“I would lie in bed at night and say the alphabet, counting all the things I had to be grateful for, starting with the letter A...This made a great change in my life."

Well perhaps we should do this with the alphabet sort of like a game. And of course it doesn't matter if there are cluster posts with the same letter These are started often such as the Attitude of Gratitude lists. Let's try it using the alphabet and if it warrants we can just keep going using the alphabet over and over. Things that we are grateful and thankful for. I will begin with the letter A.


A

Autumn is almost here. It is my favorite season here in PA. Warm days and crisp cool nights for the perfect sleeping weather not to mention that autumn makes my electirc bill go down

Who is next with B

D is for "discoveries" I have made about me and my behaviours in my recovery. It is also for "destiny" that I am turning over to my Higher Power, knowing it is in good hands.
