Grateful that I'm waking up today as opposed to "coming to." Grateful that I reached out to a friend in AA for help after some time away and grateful for those long lost feelings of optimism that they inspire.

Grateful for getting some sleep last night.

Grateful for my excellent driving skills -- the roads were glare ice and I need to get my Son to work at 6:00 a.m.

Grateful to be able to work at home.

Have a Terrific, Thankful Thursday! :-)

Grateful that my son is healthy and sane.
Grateful for every reminder of how it was when I was drinking and how much better things are now.

OK ~

The Morning Pic I had in Mind initially can wait. When I saw the Cloud Formations this Morning, I shut off some Lights inside and prepped for this Pic. Jet Contrails and everything but the Kitchen Sink out over the Antler Collection. Just found another 'new' Antler 'Shed' a few days ago while checking Barbed Wire Fences.

Grateful for good Weather today so that I can tighten up a slightly-sagging Automated Ranch Gate before Rain/Snow moves in tomorrow.

Grateful for getting done yesterday all the niggling lil Chores that had stacked up. Whole House Vacuum Cleaners don't suck! No, they do. Very well, actually.

Grateful that the Earth Muffins who run the local Mountain Public Radio Station are playing fun flashback Music this Morning for us aging Hippies.

As difficult as this is for me right now I know I need to remember why I am grateful:

I am grateful that I have steady employment even though I work long hours. Long hours do equal more pay so that is a positive as well.

My extremely needy and precious furry companion. Had my little buddy for a bit over 16 years now and he has been through it all with me.

My husband.

Christmas is coming soon and I will be paid to for that reason alone. I have had many jobs where I was required to work on Christmas and was not even paid holiday wages. I am thankful I am paid to take the day off.

My warm and soft cozy bed; I have soft sheets and nice bedding.. not many even have a bed.

And, most importantly, random acts of kindness. I like performing them and I like witnessing them. Sometimes just having a stranger show me kindness can get me through my day; I like returning the favor.

Gilmer, thank you for the hug.

I'm going to add some gratitude here for the afternoon.
I'm grateful my higher power DID lift the heavy off of me today.
I am grateful I was able to do my volunteer work.
I am grateful my daughter got sent home sick. I know that sounded terrible. But I can take care if her now and get out of my head.

Jennifer

Grateful for my extremely clever and constantly funny cat.
Grateful that I don't mind her ordering me around.
Grateful that she has let me read and post a little...although Ms V is making it clear that it's now time to play!
Grateful that I'm not outside working in this crazy wind this morning!

And really grateful for another glorious picture from MesaMan. ♥♥♥

My kitty is the boss too. Owns and runs the entire household.

My husband just sent me a picture of my feline friend asleep on his freshly laundered jeans. Little devil.

Grateful that I'm up early this Saturday morning.
Grateful I've been able to cancel a few commitments so that I have the energy to deal with the things that are high priority for me at the moment.

Grateful for a meeting today, walk a mile, visit from a Grandson, and I can't believe that hippies are aging too.

Grateful for the proud, quiet moment this morning when I realized I'm at day 90. Life just keeps getting better....
