GRateful for keeping a pretty healthy balance between being flexible or spontaneous versus becoming downright impulsive. Glad I know to keep an eye on myself.

And glad my big lug middle "son" (i.e., cat) Klaus didn't hurt anyone at the vet today...GRanted, he was pre-medicated.

Love and hugs,
Eddie

Grateful that a friend I love asked for advice about them quitting alcohol.

Grateful I was able to detach from some drama at work today.

Grateful that I get to babysit my Grandson tomorrow.

Grateful that the new organizational systems I have been able to create so far in the house are effective. In those rooms, I have a place for everything and so I am habitually putting things back. Very new for me. Now to the scarey rooms! Lol

Grateful that I had a quick chat with my beloved stepson. We hadn't talked about his dad's relapse previously, and I am so grateful that he is taking a realistic and healthy view of it.

Grateful for recovery.
Grateful I have enough money to pay the bills (and such) for this old house while I search for a driving job... I will have to sell the house, hand it over to the bank sometime in the future or win the lotto and buy the title back.
Grateful to understand; I should have moved out of this childhood home of mine ~20 years ago, and that I must except the change which is coming in my life.
Grateful for Serenity.

And grateful for forgiving myself for not going to the Mental Health Association Thanksgiving dinner. I just didn't want to, and now I know that's OK.

Love and hugs,
Eddie

Grateful that even though today was a crapola day I still just put 1 foot in front of the other and got through it.
