Grateful to feel the first touch of Spring.....
I opened windows and doors....sat on my porch in
T Shirt and shorts.....embraceing the warmth.

I know it just a bit of a tease....but what the heck!

Grateful that sponsors always pick up the phone or return a call, even when it's been years since we've last talked.

Grateful that Ohio got some of that spring-like weather so that I and the doggies got in a nice long walk. The fresh air and exercise and sunshine does us all a world of good.

Today I'm grateful for the following:

Day 17! Or is it 18? I'll have to check my calendar
Not giving in to temptation when I smelled booze. The smell triggers me something fierce.
Being a generally healthy person.
Everyone on SR being so friendly and helpful.
And lastly, I'm grateful that I'm heading is a positive direction, for once.

Grateful for a peaceful ending to a peaceful day. Grateful that the only thing I have to do, besides go to bed, is to pick up dk at 10pm. Other than that, it's just me and the dogs taking it easy. Oh and also grateful the dogs got two walks today! It was too nice for just one walk.

Yes indeed, grateful for sponsors.

Grateful for the soothing sound of rain.

Happy to be in bed with my cat in my lap, red grapes on my night table and a murder mystery right next to it.
