And grateful I didn't get frustrated and annoyed when I had to make multiple calls and trips downstairs and to the parking lot to find my visiting aunt's cell phone. Glad I am better able to roll with the punches these days. Gift from a Power Greater and The Program.
Love and hugs,
Eddie
oh Rusty how you crack me up.

Grateful to be clean and sober +nicotine free
I am grateful I felt joy today...For a few seconds I saw complete happiness, wonder and awe in the face of a little girl....in the cavernous candy aisles
I have thought of her through out the day....perfect innocence
The memory has faded now...but I myself felt joy

Grateful for a day to myself to putter and work on fixing up my home.
Grateful the dog kept making me take him out which annoyed me each time till we'd be out and I'd notice what a pretty day it was.
Grateful my grandson and I saw each other 3X in the last 3 weeks!
Grateful it only took me 40 mins to get home from their house last night which is half the time it took me from my old home.
Grateful I meditated today. It didn't seem to help my impatience but hopefully it will add up over time!

I'm grateful to have made it another day sober. I'm grateful to be sitting next to my husband watching a movie together (I'm actually awake, yay)! I'm grateful that I was able to pull my 6 year olds first baby tooth out...and even more excited that I'll be awake tomorrow morning to make sure the tooth fairy stopped by. I'm so grateful my little girls are snug in bed, safe, healthy and happy.
Good night, friends!

Grateful that I'm an able bodied person who chooses to go to work and is able to hold a job instead of collecting unemployment or welfare or other types of assistance.
Grateful that I also have compassion and understanding of some people who for some reason are on assistance of some kind and unable to work.
Grateful that I realize that I'm only one drink away, one mental breakdown away, one too many mistakes away from being that unemployed person who just can't get the breaks and is in desperation and feeling hopeless.
Society seems to look down on people who have to collect aid instead of working. Where I see injustices and misunderstanding is able bodied people who really are trying to make it in the workforce but other workers won't help or teach them the skills they need to succeed. Or other workers who are mean to the person trying to hold a job and learn, only to feel like they're ready to collapse from the pressure at work.
Grateful for God and my sobriety to give it my best shot.
