Grateful to be home from a wedding in the city. And not drink. And not want to.
Grateful to see alcohol doesn't add much to life and takes away a great deal more.
Grateful to see my friend and her family happy together, which I haven't seen to this extent since her son died a few years ago.
Grateful I am there for her and she is there for me.
Grateful to be old enough to have lifetime friends and young enough to really enjoy them.

The "No expectations" under my username is from my favorite saying,"Expectations are premeditated resentments." I often say not to get my hopes up; that way I can be PLEASANTLY surprised.

Grateful for getting back to Unity today. Glad I have been given enough open-mindedness enough to really try to hear what the minister is saying.

And REALLY grateful to see Remy play some. It took a little bit of catnip, but he hadn't even been interested in that lately. Glad I am here to keep trying to get him healthy again.

Love and hugs,
Eddie

Grateful that the rain is letting up a bit her in Colorado where I live.

Makes your appreciation for regular things come to the forefront. Not being able to get anywhere on the regular roads we drive.. and go its ok.

We are safe and my daughter that just got her permit is learning to drive in inclement weather. Scary but good.

Grateful to just let myself be downright grouchy when I couldn't shake it, especially when it's not hurting anybody.
Grateful to stop pretending.

Grouchy is my normal demeanor, but I always hurt my family with it

Love your Mod Squad pic!

I'm actually grateful that I don't have any work this morning so I can go park my butt at an AA meeting!

Grateful to have something other people want. It's amazing to me how many women have asked me to sponsor them in ABA!

And grateful for one MINUTE at a time. Glad I know today to just take the NEXT step...

Grateful to let this bad mood I'm still in play out tonight.... by watching several hours of bad (so bad it is good) TV and eat whatever I want.

Grateful I'm hopeful I can get back to working on stuff for the move. I just got sick of it all and had to stop for a few days.

Grateful that although I felt angry at work I caught myself before it all spilled out inappropriately.

Grateful to hear from my daughter and get the best new pics of my Grandson.

Grateful it will all come together somehow in this soup of a life I have.
