Grateful for an answer to what to do with all the dishes and kitchen utensils my renters left piled up. A local homeless shelter has a need. Yay!

Grateful that the plans I thought I wanted tonite were canceled. When i stopped struggling with the flow i felt immediately better.
Grateful when a new male friend asked me today why i no longer drink, i told him as simply and honestly as i could. Grateful it did not turn him off.
Grateful i took a nap today.
Grateful that i am reading some books that are really affecting me spiritually in new ways. Grateful to grow again.
So so so grateful i have not drank since early Februaty... since clearly sobriety builds on itself. If you build it, consciousness will come.

Grateful my new therapist, whom I worked so hard to obtain, said I really didn't need to be in regular therapy these days. So I "graduated" again from the old reliable on Monday to see this new one and she says I don't need to come back for a month!! Awesome!!

And grateful for a nice walk to and from the hospital listening to the Rutles. I thought I had another appointment there this afternoon, but I was mistaken. So glad I didn't let their not being a "point" to my journey spoil the walk. Today, I can just roll with it. Also awesome!

Love and hugs,
Eddie

Today I'm grateful for 28 days sober off the opiates, and that spice wasn't around in my early 20s. The more I learn about that junk the nastier it seems.

Grateful for not making myself accept either of a couple of invitations to go out this evening. I'm PMS-ing and tired and I didn't get to go to the pool like I wanted to, so I'm just postponing the visits...and that's OK. Glad that I know that now.

And grateful Spencer quickly forgave me for taking him to the vet for shots.

Love and hugs,
Eddie

Grateful i went down to these condos i am interested in tonight with my dog at dusk,.and watched sunset on river, and walked in the park righf adjacent to the condos. Saw a deer and two babies. All of this is ON a major highway so it is a very unexpected haven.

It will be a challenge to ready my house for sale alone, and downsize. I needed a strong visual for my future and I got it tonight. Thank you God for those deer tonite. I don't know how they got there. They trotted around the little league ballpark fence and off toward a nearby glen.

Thank you for a future dream and a new day tomorrow.
