I'm grateful that I didn't have to make a particular decision today. I'm even more grateful that I'm not obsessing over it and realize that when the time is right the answer or solution will appear.

cmc,
Oh, there was definitely dairy involved, like mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses 'cause I didn't have any cheddar. Also potatoes (of course), onions, salt, pepper, thyme, and parsley. I think that's it. That's actually pretty simple for me. Usually I like to dump a bunch of different spices in my soups.

Grateful tonight that I am trying to be responsible and proactive and actually PLAN my trip out of town this weekend. Being on a pretty strict meal plan can make such things a little tricky. Plus, I want to try to hit a meeting or two in Asheville and visit a friend there as well, though where I'm going is about an hour away. It's a challenge, but I feel up for it.

And grateful for a truly productive session with my new therapist. I told my mom that I think I got more out of this one visit than I did in 5+ years with my previous person. I know that's kind of harsh, but it's the truth. Just don't tell my old therapist I said that, OK? I really think this is going to work out well.

Have a swell night and weekend y'all!! I'll be back Sunday.
Love and hugs,
Eddie

Grateful that I pause when agitated rather than picking up a drink. What I was freakin' out about always turns out to be rather silly anyway.

I've had days that have started off like - tired, dread, kicking myself for something in the past, p.o.'ed at something.

I try and tell myself "well, at the very least be kind to others." At some point, my bad mood goes away . I dunno if this is a mental trick or something spiritual. I try and make others feel good and, you guessed it, I feel good despite what is going on in my life.

Whatever it is, I'm grateful for it.

Whoa!! Mysterioso!! I guess in the end it doesn't really matter, though, huh?? Thank you, gravity, for sharing that and reminding me yet again that I need to try to be of service more.

Yeah, there's a computer where I'm staying, but I was too tired last night to deal with the dial-up connection. I'll try to do it tonight. See y'all later!

Love and hugs,
Eddie

Grateful for the Law of Gratitude...

and it is absolutely necessary that we should observe that law, if we are to get the results we seek...

nighters...
