Grateful for caramel coffee and peppermint tea

Grateful to have enough mad money left over after bills to indulge a bit

Grateful to enjoy a Netflix movie couch date with hubby and son

Grateful for the delicious smell wafting out of the kitchen as hubby prepares lunch

Grateful spirituality is becoming a constant in my life rather than an afterthought

Happy Sunday all

Good morning GP!

Grateful it's Monday and I'm not dreading going to work

Grateful I'm waking up with a clear head

Grateful that I'm getting a little bit better every day at getting my ego out of the way.

That's a hard one as apparently I have one stubborn ego

Grateful for the sunshine we had yesterday in the middle of days of gray skies and rain.

Grateful to have the opportunity to make grateful a verb today.

Have a good Monday, GP

I like the post about seeing pictures on Facebook and knowing you were sober in all of them.

I have pictures from when I was active; and man, they are some ugly pictures! I vacillate between tossing them out (shredded, of course) or holding on to them for "keeping it green". I've kept them. They are a part of what I "was" - reality - deal with it.

Grateful for out-of-the-way bottom drawers that I can file things into!

Grateful that those old BIG eyeglasses went out of style many years ago!

Grateful to SR for instant access to those who suffered and those who continue to suffer.

Grateful for the new day and the realization that this day, my level of serenity is directly proportionate to my state of mind.

Grateful to HP and the ever-present signposts; there for me to see.

Have a good one, all.......

Thanks for that one, RZ

Morning GP!

Grateful for the "little things" because they are the real things.

And grateful that even though I get crabby sometimes and let things get under my skin, I am getting better at letting go of the negativity.

Life is too short, and too precious!
