Grateful for enough food left in the fridge to make a fairly decent packed lunch for work.

Grateful that I don't seem to crave alcohol in the evenings any more, I didn't think that would go so quickly.

Grateful to be able to face whatever comes at me today with courage and authenticity. I just need to be me, and do the best I can.

Grateful for FBLs avatar. I was humming the Rockford Files theme song all day yesterday. I can't remember the Maverick theme song or I would hum that!

Grateful for the sunrise.

Grateful for the dog climbing gingerly on my back when I was in bed and trying to peek his head around to see if I will open my eyes. And I pretend I am asleep. That's the game. Lol

Grateful for oatmeal and dried cranberries.

When I was drinking, I was trying to keep up appearances of being healthy. I was still doing early morning runs. About 2 miles into a run, I always felt the need to puke (go figure). I blamed it on allergies. I found excuses for everything to avoid admitting the real problem.

This morning, I am grateful I was able to watch the sunrise on my early morning run. Didn't even care it was hot and humid. And never felt any urge to puke.

Grateful for a tranquil morning, there's hardly a breeze outside.

Grateful that the windows will be painted today, and not by me, phew!

Grateful that after today, I have 5 days off work.

a daughter's love

Grateful for a daughter's love this morning as I welcome my 11th great granddaughter to her human experience.

There is no greater gift than the love I feel this morning for my daughters, grand daughters and great granddaughters who God has allowed to reside in my heart.

Why me God? Thanks.
