A New Thread of Gratitude!

I am grateful today for many things, however, this heat and humidity is not one of them.

This reminds of Texas where even the cactus couldn't survive!

Nothing better than pure, clear ice-water to provide relief, I am grateful for that!

Grateful I don't live where the temp is anywhere close to 100 let alone a 110 Yikes I would just shrivel up like an ole prune:rotfxko

Today we are lucky if it hits 70 and I just love this kind of weather..

Stay cool

Post Reprieve in the Heat - Gratitude

Today's weather here is a little more humane. Thank the powers that be for that and for my sanity!

Photos of my sponsor - one of them anyway!

Recent "action" images of "Le Gato Diablo" aka Dieter in his natural habitat. He is a primary mechanism of my sobriety and mental well-being. I am grateful for all said blessings!

Hey y'all!

Today, I'm thankful for my sobriety though I need to get to a meeting. I'm trying to make at least 2 a week which is difficult with everything else going on.

Grateful of Guest Speaker

Tonight's speaker at our local group delivered an outstanding lead. The man's sobriety date is in 1973.

I am especially thankful and grateful for attending the meeting tonight, the room was full of loving anonymous folks.

Oh Steadwell...I think your sponsor has a relative! Meet FANDY..a 4 year old 1/2 siamese 1/2 Maine Coon-ish male from NJ..a very pushy spoiled boy weighing in at about 15#...who lives with me and 2 other cats and his very own Pomeranian doggie....they all sleep together on the tempur-pedic with me....it is a comedy act every night.

very grateful for all of them....

Got the Blahs, and the Blues...

Grateful for a getting some sleep last night, though it was of the restless variety. Just feeling generally run-down the last day or two.
