grateful to be able to go out this evening

grateful to be coherent in conversations

grateful not to hold on to blame and negative self-talk

grateful to feel tired from a productive day

grateful to watch drama unfold in myself and then let it go

grateful to see people coming back into my life, amazing how this happens!

Grateful my mystery pain is 90% gone...I'm calling it a pulled back muscel and not fretting over the cause.
Test showed nothing ..3 doctors don't know.....soooo what the heck.

Grateful for how smoothly my life flows onward...

I'm very fearful about what lies ahead today, but grateful that it will eventually come to an end, as all days do.

Pattee, reminds me of how the tables have turned with my parents, especially my dad. Guess I'm to that age where we children are having to play the parents to our parents. I never thought I'd say this, but thank God my brother is living with our mom and helping her out, because I'm afraid I'm really going to have my hands full with Dad.

Grateful that I finally talked to the nurse at my dad's doc's office, although I was crying afterwards and have felt on the verge of tears ever since. I just feel really rotten about "ratting him out" like that, even though I know it needed to be done.

And grateful for enjoying doing a lot of work out in the yard today regardless of the sun exposure, chigger bites, and probably perpetuating my poison ivy rash. It was very satisfying work, especially when I showed Dad what I had done.

Yawning now...
Love and hugs,
Eddie

Grateful to put a period on yet another project and that my client has opted to give me another project.

Grateful that the lake's dam boards broke during the hurricane - if they hadn't, my house probably WOULD have gone under water because the e-mail said the flooding would have been two feet higher. (They are designed to break under high pressure). I didn't know that.

Grateful we're getting closer to the weekend (I can hear my father telling me I'm wishing my life away). I've been living for the weekend most of my life.

Have a good night, all....

Grateful that Nikko seems to be healing physically and not as 'nervous' as he was. Grateful for the company of these loving dogs. Grateful to live in this neighborhood. Grateful to be alive and sober.

Hey Grats,

I have had a really emotional day and the last thing I have felt like is coming on and being grateful.

I went to the Whiners forum and posted so now I feel a tad better.

Grateful as all heck for SR

I have been feeling very alone lately and depression is getting the best of me.

I am grateful that I know that God has my back even if no one else does.

Nite Nite

Grateful Irene was not as destructive as originally feared.

Grateful to have a moment to check in here, after a very hectic week.

Grateful for my cats, who calm me with their purring and warmth.


Newby and Astro, I hope and pray tomorrow will be a better day.

(((Newby))) you are certainly loved here and not alone! Hoping you have a better day tomorrow.

Grateful to have put the check in the bank as I am close to all due dates. Not having a steady paycheck is not for the faint of heart.

Grateful I am no longer living the way I used to. I am grateful my program teaches me the past is the past and that I can enjoy my life, one day at a time, in spite of some ugliness during my childhood and days of yore.

Grateful for AA and you fine folks here at SR.

Have a good night, all.....

Not quite sure about my motives, but I'm grateful that I can set a boundary, and let an attorney know that I'm not OK with the way he's treating me.
