Grateful for the wonderful 14 lb frozen turkeys that work gave out to employees at Thanksgiving and that I ate today.

Glad to be of service, Kat!

Grateful for a huge New Year's morning yoga practice with four awesome teachers. The vibe was great. Glad I'm starting the year off right.

And grateful most of the traditional New Year's dinner I put on for my mother and brother went well, and when it went South for a bit due to my bro's behavior, I at least didn't make things worse. Glad I am better at biting my tongue.

Love and hugs,
Eddie

I am grateful that although my AH is at the bar drinking again, I have learned to separate myself and my emotions from his actions.

I am also grateful that I made it through the holidays sober!

Grateful
For a New Year.
For a quiet day spent working on the compound, or laying on the couch, and taking it easy.
For the rain all day for watering all the plants.

Grateful that work is picking back up. Grateful to get back to a normal routine. The holidays are fun, but I like my routines.

Amen! Except for me it's cats in the lap.

Grateful for my first kirtan (bhakti yoga chanting) event. I LOVED it! Glad it was further encouragement to join the choir at Unity.

And grateful for the awareness of how hard and fast my character defects can pop back up. Someone interrupted my share in a phone meeting today saying I was "cross-talking." I ran through a whole gamut of emotions in a few minutes, but, in the end, I was grateful and later told the person who said it how it actually helped me even though she had called to apologize. Glad I'm getting better at quickie 4th Steps.

Love and hugs,
Eddie

Grateful for a lovely day -- a little organic food shopping, some sourdough baking, some fish cooking, a swim, a lovely read in the sun for an hour, some gardening.
Grateful for the gentle joy of contentment.
Grateful for the peace of sobriety and for my clear mind.

Grateful I could take Dad to Happy Hour at the assisted living facility. Shrimp cocktails, eggrolls, and his favorite vodka drink. I'm grateful he smiled. My love and tolerance isn't very high but I'm grateful when he's happy.
