I find it is a good tool for me to say or write what I am grateful for each day. Thought we could try it here. If this needs to be moved to another part of the forum, go ahead.
Today I am grateful for:
1. My Higher Power.
2. My sobriety.
3. Being smoke free.
4. My health.
5. My family.
6. My friends.
7. A home to come back to at the end of the day.
8. My pets.
9. People who understand me today.
10. Each day that I am upright, breathing, walking and talking.
11. That I can laugh at myself today.

When I wake up in the morning and both eyes open and my head don't hurt I am going to have a good day and I personally don't care what the rest of the world does. :-)
Looking at things positive is what makes staying sober worth well.

Great to see you here and posting my friend. Always liked your gratitude lists.
I am grateful for:
1) My new apartment on the 19th floor.
2) My balcony with a view.
3) My mental, emotional, spiritual and physical sobriety.
4) My home group.
5) My bridge club.
6) My friends and family.
7) My computer which gave me a scare today, thought it was going to go belly up.
8) My job, even though it is a volunteer position it gets me out and about and working with others.
9) My God who works in my life, some days more than others.

Love Always,
Each Day is a New Beginning, so have a great one. |

I'm grateful for the journey that brought me to where my feet are TODAY.
And I'm grateful for the loving and patient G-d who saw the greatness in me when I couldn't. |

Today I am grateful for being just one day away from tomorrow. I have to be at the hospital for 7:45 a.m. and as most of you know, I don't do mornings well.
I am grateful that my doctors are looking after me. My rheumatologist put me on Vitamin D capsules. I have never heard of taking a tablet once a week for 12 weeks. Strange!
I am grateful to you my friend for starting this thread. My sponsor told me many years ago, an alcoholic/addict will never have reason to pick up. He/She may find lots of excuses, but no reason.

*sending positive thought and prayers for Jo*
At this given moment:
I'm grateful for warm fuzzy jammies and glow in the darn jack-o-lantern slippers.
(yes, it's been a longggggg day)
I'm grateful for messengers that G-d puts in my path to remind me about what's truly important.
And I'm grateful that I'm never, ever, EVER alone in this deal called 'life'. |

| I'm grateful that not only are things getting better for you, but you're keeping us informed along the way. I guess another way to put it is that I'm grateful that you're grateful. lol |

I rememebr teh rat pack. I was not aware Deqan Martin was from Ohio. I do remember many times when he performed and it was so obcvious he was drinking.
Today I am grateful that my computer has been fixed. It crashed last week and it took me 4 days to get it fixed. I put a RUSH on it...or it woudl have taken longer.
Amazing how quickly you can get something done if you say...NO MATTER WHAT IT COSTS...

1) I am grateful that I have hope for tomorrow. I get to go to a bridge individual tournament tomorrow afternoon.
2) I am grateful that my cold is better and that my fever has dropped.
3) I am grateful that my eyesight is better and I can see to read. I have a lot of books to catch up on.
4) I am grateful for my meditation cards. I did a meditation tonight and got the Eagle which means Spirit, the Swan, which means gift. My name means "God's gracious gift." I also got the Spider which tells me to go within and trust my own intuition and knowingness. I got the Bear which is also a totem animal which means to dream my dreams. The crystal I got was amber to balance scattered energies and the rune I pulled was the Spiritual Warrior.
5) I am grateful that I felt like cooking instead of grabbing a sandwich or going out for supper. Tonight I had peas and carrots, new potatoes, and ham steak with a chili sauce. For dessert I had a cookie (bought at the market) with no sugar and lots of fruit and fibre along with a banana.
6) I am grateful for my spiritual advisor. She told me to do the meditation and to ask for what I needed for healing my vision and ask for what I needed for my sight and insight.
7) I am grateful that I pulled an angel card that told me that I would be happy and that all will come into being as it should. I was even more grateful for the Angel of Power which says, "The Power of Divine Love protects and enfolds me."
8) I am grateful that when I surrender, I am empowered to do what I need to do for myself.
9) I am grateful for all of you.

Today I am grateful that it did not rain. We've had rain for about 5 days. I'd love to send some of it to Atlanta!
I'm grateful that i have my 3 dogs.
I am grateful my husband has not drank since Tuesday.
I am grateful that I have 2 jobs that I love.
I am grateful that I can buy clothes, shoes, etc whenever I feel like it. I do need to start the tradition of getting rid of something when I bring in something new. I will get a box ver soon ad start weeding out.
