Grateful to see that so much gratitude has given us another part.
Grateful to Carol for being there to open it.
Grateful for this mornings Daily Reflection reading,
a reminder that it is through the pain that I grow stronger.
I am so grateful to have found an awesome way to live.
I am blessed, we all are blessed.

Grateful to God that my little diabetic boy wasn't sick last night like he was Friday night. I'm so grateful he's feeling better. Thank you God for making him feel better. You gave me my dogs to care for and you know how much I love them. Thank you for helping me care for them.

Anxiety is that range of distress, which attends willing what cannot be willed.
—Leslie H. Farber
There are hundreds of ways in which men try to will things that cannot be willed. We will to sleep; we will to have others like us; we will to have sexual virility. In all these things, the force of our will does not work because what we want is not controllable. They come to us as an outcome of many factors - when the situation is right - when we have become ready for them.
When we could not let go, when we did not know how to turn our life and our will over to the care of God, we became more and more anxious. Then we turned to our addictive or codependent escapes from anxiety and willfulness. It is the folly of our age to try to take charge of everything. We are following a more peaceful and more successful way. We are doing our part and receiving the benefits that come to us.
The will of my Higher Power has a loving purpose and is far wiser than I.

Grateful I could take my dogs for the annual Blessing of the Animals, which this year fell on the Feast of St Francis. Grateful there was a good turnout, lots of dogs and a 'dog treat' party afterward.

Tho I feel horrible, I'm grateful that my counselor will call me this afternoon so I won't have to miss a session. I need her input but am too sick to leave the house. Grateful that she cares about my well being.

Grateful for waking up and feeling even better than yesterday.
This time last week felt like the end of the world!
Grateful for reading chapter of the Big Book this morning and understanding what a part of it meant; grateful for finding this board as a source of support and inspiration; grateful that I live to fight another day!!!
