grateful for an excellent conversation...for letting myself be vulnerable...for accepting constructive criticism and kindness as well.

Grateful for priceless moments with our parents as we grow old together.

Grateful for a little 'me' time today. Grateful my daughter's rad and chemo treatments are coming along, and God is surely taking care of her. Grateful for my son's help with my mom's appointments yesterday, and a nice lunch. Grateful for a good talk talk with my sponsor yesterday, who told me it's okay to cry, it doesn't mean I've lost my faith.

Dang! I'm jealous. teehee. I seem to be able to dish it out, but not take it. It's a learning process, I guess.

Grateful, very grateful, that my meeting with my payee went really well today. I think the combination of the person I was working with being more compassionate as well as my more accepting attitude made a huge difference.

And grateful for realizing I have a lot more time than I thought for my schoolwork. Whew! Whew! Whew! I'm so glad I took the time to look at my school email boxes and refreshed my memory about my disability accommodations.

Grateful I finally found a Thai seafood place I had heard about for a few years, I didn't eat there today, probably will tomorrow though. More rain coming in the morning so I should get some good sleep.
Night all... and remember, You Rock!

eddie z, I'm a disher outer too. I still flinch at criticism but as the sober weeks roll by, it's getting much easier to not let it get to me.

grateful to have some some respectably good work today...grateful tomorrow will not be as tightly packed as today.

Tonight I'm grateful that I had no compulsion to buy alcohol this week from the hotel market. None. Zero. Zilch.

Grateful for 72 days sober.
Grateful that the newness is wearing off and I'm starting to feel like a normal person who just doesn't drink.

Grateful that it's such a high to be me again today and every day.

I hear ya raindancer11, so grateful that my mind has been freed from the daily torment.

Grateful to have learned my enemy's (voice's) tactics and being able to fend them off with a solid inner strength and a power greater than either of us.
