Huge congratulations on your five years, IO! It is inspiring.

LaFemme, the cucumber soda is by a company called Dry, based in Seattle. It's carried at Whole Foods here but if they don't carry it near you, then you can order it from their website too! Dry is a reference to the lack of sweetness, although it's funny to think of it the other way too. And, I bought both versions of the Twelve, and liked both!

Grateful to have all my needs met, and grateful my intended helped me with a car problem today. Grateful I can be okay with needing help!

^^AG, I've always thought that expression "my intended" was so classy lol...he sounds like a sweetie.

Grateful for a blast of a Family Game Night...we played music, card games, Jenga, even contemplated a puzzle. Then we settled down for some Comedy Channel for a few laughs before bedtime...it was fun but exhausting.

Nite all!

Evening, all.....

Early grats tonight for me...

Grateful for today and looking forward to tomorrow when I am going to ace a goal and deadline.

Grateful that others are able to make alfredo sauce - mine was completely awful - what the hell kind of newspaper recipe was that? Should have used Elmer's Glue instead.

Grateful for emergency boxes of cereal and milk for dinner.

Have a good night, all...

GratEful you all are here to help me learn how to be sane. Grateful I am going to bed in a better mood than I felt a few hours ago. Gosh, it is hugely comforting to know with time I can let go and feel better... I don't need anything else.

Thank you all, precious ones. :ghug3:

Grateful simply, to be above ground, and walking. After telling my story Wednesday night,
I realize what a miracle this is, all because of recovery,never giving up or giving in, no matter what. Grateful to be asked to speak at a speaker's meeting next month. Grateful for my new temp sponsor...yes! A great lady, indeed. Grateful to god for preserving me and helping me to stand again...and now, to be a real part of my family.
Grateful to attend my sweet grandson's HS grad today and celebrate after without a thought of a drink. Grateful for miracles, they do still happen.
