Day 189

Today I am grateful for:

another day clean and sober
but for the grace... go I
more serenity and peace
going out for coffee with god
and
sitting in the sunshine one a perfect Spring day

for bay:
"And you, you’ll be blessed
You’ll have the best
I promise you that
I’ll pick a star from the sky
Pull your name from a hat
I promise you that, promise you that, promise you that
You’ll be blessed"
--Elton John


Wishing all of my SR family a safe and sober 24!

Day 191

Today I am grateful for:

another day clean and sober
the obsession being lifted
getting up and showing up
the sun going down over the mountains
and
digging in the dirt

"Hello
I am your mind
giving you someone to talk to
Hello

Day 204

Today I am grateful for:

more than 204 clean and sober days!
cleaning house
not having expectations
conscious contact
and
moving through the grief

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

--Linkin Park

Yup, yup.

I am grateful for 7 months clean and sober yesterday! :hugehug

I am grateful that my dad survived his open heart surgery and is healing slowly but surely. And that I can be there for him as long as it takes.

And, of course, I am grateful for my little 's

Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

Love to my SR family.

second chances

Day 275

It's been awhile since I posted on my own gratitude thread. Not that I haven't been consciously and consistently grateful, mind you. There are cycles and seasons for things and today I find that my gratitude needs an outlet again.

Today I am grateful for:

over 9 months of clean and sober days
choices and the clarity of mind and heart to make the right ones
support and encouragement - both giving and receiving
being needed
and
a beautiful girl that somehow knew I needed to be adopted - Sophie-Grace

"Baby, when I think about you... I think about love."


Wishing everyone on SR a safe and sober 24!

hugs,

Day 279

Today I am grateful for:

remembering that my recovery/spirituality (to me it's the same thing) has to come first; without it I not only have no life, I will not be here at all
knowing that feelings and emotions are just feelings and emotions and they will pass - like Radiohead says, "Just because you feel it, it doesn't mean it's real"
doing it anyway (I so don't want to go to my meeting today, but I am the secretary... sometimes service serves us, you know, it get's me there)
being on the right path- bumps, bruises, hopes, joys and all
and
my true North

"Just wait, just wait... and it will come" - Blues Traveler


Wishing everyone on SR a safe and sober 24!

hugs,

Day 280

Today I am grateful for:

another day clean and sober
honoring the process
mother earth
finding my center
and
balance

"Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again..."

Day 285

Today I am grateful for:
picking up my 9 month coin this week amist an abundance of love
the possibility... and reality of change
putting down my weapons and my defense
the restful sleep that I have faith will come
and
getting tagged by a motorcycle cop with a radar gun and for once I was not speeding!

[I]"do you see the way that tree bends?
does it inspire?
leaning out to catch the sun's rays
a lesson to be applied
are you getting something out of this all encompassing trip?
you can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets, oh
or you can come to terms and realize
you're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh
makes much more sense to live in the present tense

have you ideas on how this life ends?
checked your hands and studied the lines
have you the belief that the road ahead ascends off into the
light?
seems that needlessly it's getting harder
to find an approach and a way to live
are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
you can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets, oh
or you can come to terms and realize
you're the only one who cannot forgive yourself, oh
makes much more sense to live in the present tense
"
[/I] - Pearl Jam


Stay in the light, have faith, do right and no matter what, you'll be ok.

Day 286

Today I am grateful for:

another day clean and sober
trusting in right outcomes even though I can't see the whole picture
softening the heart
god, the universe and everyone and everything in it
and
acceptance


Sending out peace and love to all who still suffer and those who love us.

hugs,

BEST NOT TO SEE THE WHOLE PICTURE. I don't know if we could handle it.


There was a scene in Ground Hog's Day movie, Bill Murray kept trying to save this old drunks life. Try as he might, he was unable to save him.

Doing the right thing to day, you don't have to worry bout tomorrow
