Grateful for my morning reading, meditation, and prayer - really sets the tone for the whole day - accept what comes my way and do my best.

Now why don't I do this more often?

Just for today I am grateful that my BF doesn't ever seem to get defensive or worked up about much of anything.. He is a very thoughtful/patient man and sometimes it drives me crazy lol but just for today I am grateful..

I am grateful for the evening walk I took... clear skies, stars, a few bats, and crickets... and nice warm humid air. Ahhhhhh.

I am grateful for the seemingly bad!

I'm also glad that many people have been willing to let me walk the path I am in and encourage me in the journey.

I'm glad that you all are grateful too.

Gravity amazing right?! What a little mini read in the morning or night can do for us!

I have my book in the car and read it before I pull out to go to work in the morning!

Grateful for meditation books! :bounce

My wife is on one of her very rare, over night work trips.
Just me and the kids, bit of a break for my wife.
My little boy and girl are getting along great - only had to pry them apart twice so far !
Grandma brought "us" a big bag of homemade cookies. (No, we didn't have cookies for supper. )
Grateful that we have each other. Wouldn't want it any other way.

Grateful for my SO, who has been a rock since I opened up to him about my alcoholism. (He is making stir fry for us right now, yay!)

A better day today. Yea!

I'm grateful that I had an NA friend over this evening to work on some service stuff. I'm beginning to feel useful again plus it was just nice to have some company.

And although I didn't manage to make the OA meeting tonight, I'm grateful that I could have picked up a six month chip if I had. This time I have actually been "abstinent" from compulsive overeating, rather than just abstinent from certain foods. Yes, I've been following a solid meal plan for six months today. Whoo-hoo!!

Sleep tight!
Love and hugs,
Eddie

I'm grateful that my allergy meds are finally working.
I'm grateful for the noise the rain makes on my roof and for hot cocoa I just drank.

My sis called me last night, very upset about work. Grateful that I could be there for her.

The answer isn’t always immediate or what I expect it to be but it’s exactly what's required.
