Hmmm.... After another sleepless night(totally because of codependent pets), I'm digging deep here.....

I'm grateful that in a few hours I will have a nice meal that I am not cooking...and HOPEFULLY a short nap.

I'm grateful that I have learned to function on minimal sleep, and that I won't die from a lack it

Grateful to watch Meet The Press while I drink my dark roast coffee, eat a banana and have a few pieces of chocolate.

Grateful for beginning to get the big picture more routinely. I am learning to take part of the day and do things that help tomorrow go better. Am understanding that the choices I make and the things I do today directly affect how tomorrow goes. When I drank everyday was the same and I did not think I was someone who would live very long so I never acted for the future. I had nothing to look forward to as a result.

Grateful to live for today, and hope for tomorrow and leave the past where it belongs.... in my former life!

Grateful for my improved motor skills. Never thought I was so impaired until I stopped drinking. Cooked a perfect breakfast. I can use a spatula again.

Grateful for a monday holiday, dentist and house stuff. Time for me.
Grateful for a 2nd night of solid 8hours of sleep. (When i was drinking i was lucky to get 4 hours)
Sleeping never gets old, its probably a big factor that keeps me sober.
Grateful to make a big batch of *GRAVY* and meatballs for the week. Using chicken sausage and ground turkey, no salt. Fresh tomatoes.
I stopped cooking when i was drinking, it took too much concentration.

Grateful for a good night's sleep, and the memory of an all day fire in our family room fireplace yesterday.

Grateful my daughter has good insurance, that is allowing her time to care for herself.

Grateful I have all the ingredients to make some homemade soup tonight.

Today I am grateful for this saying that appeared this morning on a listserv. I think it speaks so well to those of us who are still struggling with our demons and who need the support of others who care for us.

Those who love you are not fooled
by mistakes you have made
or dark images you hold about yourself.
They remember your beauty when you feel ugly;
your wholeness when you are broken;
your innocence when you feel guilty;
and your purpose when you are confused.

- African saying -
