I am grateful for the happy time I have had with my family this weekend. I am so thankful for my family...most of em are crazy as the day is long, but my husband and kids..and my dad and his new wife love me and we had a great weekend together. Today my dad surprised me with a new computer! And his wife gave me a real nice Ethan Allen rocking chair....they just couldn't wait til Christmas. I can't blame them. I think giving gifts oughta be a daily routine. I love to surprise people with wrapped presents all year round. I am just grateful to be so happy today...it seems surreal actuallly, but quite enjoyable all the same..so I am going to relish it and embrace it and work to make it last. THAT SEEMS STRANGE TO HEAR ME SAY SOMETIMES AFTER TRYING TO KILL MYSELF FOR SO MANY YEARS. GOD HAS BLESSED ME.....AND EVERYONE HERE AT SR HAS had a hand in that. Love you...everyone of ya!!!!!

I am grateful that I was able to make it to TWO parties tonight! One for my kids at the church..a Christmas party for them...and my husbands compnay party, where I received hugs and talked to people I had never met...and was told how happy they were I was apart of their "family" now. My husband works for people that I went to school with. The son of his boss was my classmate at the church school my two kids go to now. The food was great! There was mostly vegetarian menu with some meat, so I really ate up! I even prepared a lirrle hostess "gift" and put it in a cat shaped tin box. It felt so good to be a part of something and show gratitude for the people in my life. I had the kids help me make a gift bag for the gal who hosted the kids party. The porr gal doesn't have alot of friends and has health problems...seeing the smile on her face when Brooklyn handed the present to her was priceless! I just love to see people happy.

~Thank you HP for all the wonderful gifts of life in recovery~

I am thankful today for heat, running water, food in the cupboard, morning kisses and hugs from my kids, my cat that is a loving companion when home alone during the day, and I am just thankful and full of gratitude for being ALIVE today..WOO_HOOO It feels so good to finally say that..and NOT be faking it..Thank you Hp..and SR friends. Life is awesome when we work at being grateful instead of bitter and resentful.

I am also thankful for my pain today, I am learning many lessons from it, one is even more empathy for others who suffer..and the other is it's nevr too late to revise your life, to take charge, to use those choices we all have...CHOICES...I am extremely grateful for choices!!
