I am grateful for my favorite oldtimer's wisdom.
I am grateful I finally got a paycheck.
I am grateful I didn't stress out about the paycheck and somehow made it financially until now.
I am grateful I am healing.

GrtGrandpa, sorry for the loss of your friend.

Grateful to be alive today.
Grateful that I continue to find things to live for when sometimes it all seems pointless.

I get drunk we stay sober

Grateful for the AA meeting that I attended this morning at 7 am on the 10th step, and the love and tears for our departed friend.

We have 19 meetings per week in my home group, and there is a lot of long term sobriety.

Jim's funeral will be next Wednesday at 11 am, and we know how to celebrate the passing of one of ours.

There will be tears and hugs and kisses and joy for the sober life we shared with Jim cause there was a lot of that at the meeting this morning.

And the food will be incredible because Jim told me when we talked about it during our walks, "I told the kids not to count". He also told me that he was ready when it is time, and God rewarded him with a quick and peaceful passing.

I thank everyone on SR for your condolences.

What A Difference A Day Makes...

Grateful for the full tilt fun at the Dog Park yesterday. No Pit Bulls. Only Dog Buddies. This is the clearest Pic I got, due to them being in constant motion. All were had by a good time. AddictGuy IDs the dynamic I saw yesterday in his Post #69 above. Instant, unforeseen Dog Rage at close quarters. Formidable.

Grateful for a decent Schnooze. Some weird Dream about having to laboriously change my Cellphone number, but it was kinda funny. No Drinking involved, FWIW. Just way too long of a Dream.

Grateful for my Honey sharing this one with me this morning, off her iPhone. An 'Epic Fail' set of Valentine Greetings:

- You Don't Suck As Much As Lotsa People -

Hee hee... Made my day!

Grateful to get out of bed when I have finished sleeping, and come here to get so much love and understanding from people just like me ((((((((MarcherandVee)))))))).

Grateful to be able to go back to bed when I get sleepy, and not disturb my gorgeous partner.

Grateful to be going to a great AA meeting this morning.

Grtgrandpa, hope you were able to sleep well when you got back to bed!

MM, that picture was full of joy, you can't help but be cheered watching dogs play.

Grateful for a lay in this morning, no need to rush around today, bliss.

Grateful to have had a lot of much-needed sleep, and grateful for a bit of time to myself before the day begins.

Grateful for these beautiful posts this a.m.
Grateful for the opportunities I somehow didn't lose completely -- they were just waiting for me to learn to accept them and be...grateful.
