Today, I am grateful for...Part 2

The lovely weekend I had. The $35.00 snowblower we picked up at a yard sale. The clean garage we have and the donation we made to charity to get it cleaned out! I'm grateful that I feel good today. I have serenity today. I'm grateful that I woke up this morning! Grateful for the new day. I'm grateful for the program and my friends and my family (however wacked they are.) I'm grateful that I have a job. I'm grateful that Easter is coming, even if spring is slow this year. Today is a great day, and I'm thankful to be living in it!

Today I am grateful to 24 Hours for starting this post, and to Carol for making a new one

And grateful for learning to live with less. Simple things like just trying to eat what's in my cupboards and refrigerator instead of going to the store to get whatever I feel like. Packing my lunch. Resisting momentary temptations when I'm shopping somewhere - the thrill really doesn't last very long!

Ditto, ditto.... Thanks 24 and Carol. I completely agree Sneeze about resisting the urge to spend when I don't need to.

Today I am grateful for the rain. Not so grateful about the leak in the kitchen ceiling. Was supposedly fixed last week. Not so much . BUT I am grateful for our nice house.

I, too, am SO grateful for this Sneezy, it is part of my recovery program -- simplify my life. Love it!

Today I am grateful to enjoy the gift of a last minute decision to take a day off from work! I am grateful that I went to the gym again and enjoyed working out. I'm grateful to accomplish some tasks at home and relax too....shoppng for Easter and avoiding the big crowds on friday when I am off.

i'm grateful that the weather is getting warmer and I am hopeful for a good season upcoming....and that the plants i'm putting in won't die or dry up...I am trying to grow, PINK muhlenbergia grass in my new garden....good vibes for this venture are appreciated, thanks

Glad you're back newbs!

That pink muhl..... grass sounds pretty cool Fands... I need to wiki to see what it looks like. And glad you're back at the gym too. You may actually motivate my lazy rear into going back too.

Luigi has a fever.. He was up for about an hour and a half last night so we all slept in this morning. Will have to rearrange the schedule now, but I can certainly find things to do at home with his "help" .

What does a house fluff entail Rusty?

Sneeze, hoping your work week isn't as crazy this week. Glad you have some fun plans this weekend.

Yday, I was moving stuff around the fridge and I dropped the my dozen eggs on the floor! Eeks!

Grateful today for my good SR friends . Off to make lunches now
