Grateful

For the sound of wind chimes all day. I needed that.

For a comfortable couch, a kitchen sink, a working kitchen, ice, running water.

For the small moments of peace on a pretty dismal day.

For calling my parents, even though I didn't feel like calling or talking to anyone, it was good for all of us.

For grateful people, compassionate and kind people.

Grateful that I never have to do anything alone, I just have to overcome my pride and fears and reach out for help.

Grateful for another sober day.
Grateful for the intelligence I've been blessed with.

Grateful I'm not the one in the middle of a multi-day bender.
Grateful I'm here for my friend who is should they ask for help.

Grateful I'm finally winding down and relaxing and giving myself a rest after months of stress and constant motion. It's time for some me time. And I deserve it.

Grateful I am home sweet home.
Grateful my sister says she understands why I can't drive back up tomorrow for her birthday.
Grateful my boss agreed to get me help Monday, so I wouldn't have to leave to drive home from work after dark on my first day back to work.
Grateful Addiction Recovery is helping me learn to ask for help when I need it.

Have you ever shared with us what this kitty's REAL name is? Or shown us a picture? I need to know. teehee.

Grateful for being able to be flexible and spontaneous. Ended up going on a single track ride on some trails I hadn't been on in while this morning. It was pretty nippy, but alright once we got going. Glad I can do what I want to do because I WANT to do it and not "should" on myself so much.

And also grateful to see Remy, my oldest cat, INITIATING play...even without catnip. He has been stalking his younger brothers lately, peeking around corners, wiggling his butt, and running after them and jumping on them. I'm so glad he's feeling frisky again.

Love and hugs,
Eddie

Moving my Dad into an assisted living apartment today. I'm grateful my son will be helping me move the furniture, and I'm grateful my wife is coming along to pack boxes.

Grateful my car has been declared a loss and my insurance paid off my car loan today, leaving a bit of equity for me. Grateful the local office cut me a check today.

Grateful to take a deep breath and remind myself I don't have to buy a car today. I have a rental for a week yet and can take time to research and I can ask for help if I feel I need it.

Grateful I canceled my plans tonight that required me to do night driving. I need to take a breather.

Grateful for a fire in the fireplace.

Grateful my dog has crawled up on me and is sleeping with his head on my neck. He is so glad I've been home so we have time together.

Grateful for a call from RZ. I don't think I've spoken with or seen anyone from SR since '05. It was really cool! Thanks!

And grateful I bit my tongue and kept my cool when my old AA friend engaged in what I perceived as pretty eating-disordered behavior and talk when we went to lunch today. Even more grateful that I no longer am compelled to act that way myself. Glad to see her after almost 4 years (with some resentments in between) and good conversation once we left the restaurant.

Love and hugs,
Eddie
