11.5 hours of daylight and bright sunshine!
Spring is springing and my Japanese maple is going to be thick this year
remembering to use the fertilizer spikes i bought
building on my rockwall (it's a never ending project that i started spring of 2010 when i first started to find sober activities..one of my best reminders of what I CAN do in sobriety)!

Went to the old Philadelphia neigborhoods of my ancestors - narrow streets, row houses, no grass, barred windows, flat razor wire streched like Christmas lights, abandoned factories and houses, and lots of congestion with cars and people. Grateful that I have decent shelter, plentiful food, great medical care, a sufficient income, and the moxy for the last 8 months to live without booze.

Not to offend anyone but just returned from visiting Istanbul, Turkey, and I'm grateful to live the U.S. where I take so much for granted. It made me grateful for things we consider small....like having a clothes dryer, being able to buy tissues and napkins easily in the grocery, flushing toilet paper down the toilet, not having traffic that is totally crazy and watching everyone run through stop signs, for no smoking that means no smoking in businesses, etc. I could go on but so happy to be back, and now I think that NYC and Boston traffic are nothing...LOL.

Today I am grateful that I have made it through a rough patch and came out the other side sober.

Today I am grateful

That I look forward to things
That I feel good

I am so grateful for my vets' loving learned care of my animals. They go above and beyond the call of duty and I love them all. Thank God for my vets!

Today I am grateful

For country roads
For the trees
For volunteers
For community
For the food and drink
That I feel alive again
That I have a greater awareness of my vulnerabilities and fears

Today I am grateful for

That I am starting to understand that it is not helpful to dwell on things I can't control
That I understand I am vulnerable
That I have free time
