Yes, Eddie, hang in there.

Thanks for the pic, Sneezy. I love it.

Grateful for beautiful weather, nice conversations, good feelings about my relationship and our ability to talk out conflicts even though it can be rough. Grateful to remember to keep my mind in the present and directed toward the future -- when I snag a resentment or regret, I try my best to let go of it and move on. Grateful recovery has taught me to do this. Goodnight, GP!

Thanks, AG! Hangin' in there am I.

Grateful for my first time at equine-assisted psychotherapy (EAP). It was not as anxiety-provoking as I thought it might be.

And grateful for a nice chat with my longest friend in the world. She's back home in NC, of course, while I'm here in NV, so it was nice to connect with someone there in the hometown.

See y'all tomorrow!
Love and hugs,
Eddie

Grateful for all the inspiring signature and tag lines I'm seeing here.

Grateful for the ones that cracked me up as well (if men were smart they would ride side saddle, or something like that) lol

Grateful for quirky senses of humor

I have great family and neighbors that make me smile.

Nothing like sharing a meal with good people!

My house is a mess but call me Jimmy Crackcorn...I don't care....

Have a good night all!

Grateful for the universe pix too!

Iwbwt, I am grateful too for being tired rather than drunk

I am grateful for contentment tonight, it is not a common feeling for me, perhaps it will visit more often now

Grateful my brain worked and gave me the good on the fly ideas I needed tonight. I think alcohol dulled my on the fly creativity which made me anxious which made me want to drink. Rinse repeat. This way is better

Grateful for a fabulous Mom's Day... it was perfect.

Grateful to have spent some time with my Mom -- we took her out breakfast early this morning.

Grateful that my kids and hubby helped plant the vegetable garden... which is earlier than normal. Being sober must have made that happen. :-)

Grateful that we wash and cut up lots of fresh vegs that we bought from the store so they are ready to go, whether it is for a stir fry, soup, or vegs and dip... should last for the week.

Grateful to have all the lunches, homework, and backpacks ready for the week.

Grateful be now winding down and watching Celebrity apprentice with the family... and then reading time.


Have a wonderful Sunday!

Grateful for the weekend reprieve from the rat-race.

Grateful for the pictures with stickers created by my neighbor's five year old grandchild - man -he sure loves stickers....they're all over the place!

Grateful for the chuckle he gave me when he asked out of the blue if I had any marionettes -caught me by surprise! (pretty funny)

Grateful for the surge of energy I know is coming tomorrow.

Grateful for the work piled up on my desk as I remember a time when I was unable to work.

As alway, love and gratitude to my family and friends, who's love and support I cherish.

Have a good night, all......

:rotfxko You crack me up, frances!!

Grateful that I can laugh and be amused today.

And grateful for my fellow patients here. I know I complain about how much younger they are than I am, but we still have so much in common, of course. We had a good group session today that reminded me of that.

Love and hugs,
Eddie
