I treated myself to lunch and bought a chicken sub and ate both chocolate chip cookies, so I had my bad for the day, and that is why my feet are sore tonight. For every action, there is a reaction.
Grateful for those who walk this journey with me.

Grateful for music. It always seems to connect me to my soul and grounds me in the moment.
Grateful for all of you who walk this journey with me.

http://www.animated-gifs.eu/phone-24...nimals/278.gif

Grateful for the gift of meditation. The Cow card (was blank and I put a sticker on with a Holstein cow on it). I have pulled it several times this last week.
http://www.whats-your-sign.com/cow-a...symbolism.html
Grateful that today has been relatively pain free. I could stay out of bed today, and kept feeling the need to go back to bed. I guess I needed it. They say you never get caught up, but today feels like I am almost there. A sure sign is that when I look in the mirror, I hardly have any wrinkles and tired lines, which isn't easy when you are 73.
Grateful that the program is applicable to all areas of my life. Substitution doesn't work, it keeps me sick mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. I am grateful that I don't have to pick up alcohol and I don't abuse my prescription medication, but the stinking think can come back. The key thing that triggers my thoughts is the word 'more' and when I think more, than I am in my dis-ease.
Grateful for my God's care, love and forgiveness.
Grateful for the sunshine the past two days. Hope it doesn't hide behind the clouds tomorrow when I have to go to my doctor's appointment.

Grateful for all of you who walk this journey with me.

http://www.animated-gifs.eu/mammals-hamsters/0075.gif

Grateful for another day.
Grateful that the new medication takes away my pain, but not liking how it makes me feel. I feel like I am stoned.

Grateful to see Dave posting. Glad you are back with us Dave.
Grateful I got my meatloaf made, it is smelling good. I just finished peeling potatoes to have mashed with it. The only way I like potatoes heated up is to have home fries or potato cakes, because I can add onion and spice.
Grateful for those who walk this journey with me.

Grateful for those who walk this journey with me.

Grateful for another day.
Grateful that I got to go on the bus trip to get Chinese food. It was a big risk for me. It was with people in my building, most of them were nameless to me. They were not recovery people, but Earthlings.
Grateful that I got to eat a lot of good food.
Grateful when I caught myself complaining because I wasn't told that the bus home wasn't coming for two hours after we eat. If I had known, I would have taken my walker. I just used my cane, thought we were just getting on and off the bus.
Grateful that I went even though I came home in a lot of pain. Thanks to posting, I think I can now lay down and go to sleep.
Grateful that my body has recovered enough to want to lie down.
Grateful that it was a beautiful sunshiny day.
Grateful for all of you who walk this journey with me. Sorry for the days I missed. I am afraid that some of them were not so grateful. Grateful that it didn't cause me to relapse. I can lapse without picking up the drug, but it is easy to go back to the old thinking and behaviours.
Grateful for all God's Children in today. Pay it forward.

This is one of my all time favourite picture. May the Light continue to glow in your life, especially during this upcoming holiday season.

Grateful that I got the latest Catherine Coulter book in.
Grateful I was able to check it out as I have a couple of other express books that are due in a week.
Grateful that I can still read. I was doing so much reading, I had to put drops in my eyes and take a time out. It pays to listen to yourself. Glad I didn't ignore the situation, which I can quite often do, because I want to read that book. Sounds like an addiction to me! A long time one, I have 19 books out and 14 books on order. :(
Grateful that each day is a new beginning, and I can try again another day to be the best me I can be in today.
Grateful for all those who walk this journey with me in today.

Grateful for the energy to post today. Will be even more grateful if I have enough energy to clean my kitchen.
Grateful for the food in my home and that I have a choice as to what I eat in today.

Grateful that even when I start thinking "More!" I don't have to use. Not so grateful that I am taking my dinner meds at 10 p.m. because my day is turned around.
Grateful that there is a solution. I will turn everything over to my HP and ask for help.
Grateful for all of you who walk this journey with me.

Grateful for another day, even though it started late.
Grateful that my son cooked dinner.
Grateful that his hamburger's were the best I have tasted in a long time.
Grateful that I have choices. Just for today, I choose not to use.
Grateful that I finished my book.
Grateful for curling.
Grateful that tennis isn't on at the same time, it generally is. ;) It will be in January. Oh well, one day at a time.
Grateful that the weather has been milder and we have no snow, although I do like a white Christmas.
Grateful for today, it is what I make of it. Instead of wishing for what I don't have, I need to look at what I do have and be grateful.
Grateful for all those who walk this journey with me. I am truly blessed.

Grateful for another day of sobriety.
Grateful that I got three loads of laundry done.
Grateful that I had enough clothes to see myself through my procrastination. ;)
Grateful that the laundry wasn't too busy.
Grateful for friends, especially if they call just because.
Grateful for the food we eat. A neighbour gave me a package of blueberry/apple sauce he bought, but decided he didn't want to try it, so asked if I would eat it rather than throw it in the garbage.
Grateful that the weather is mild even though they forecast rain. It is suppose to go up to the mid 50s tomorrow.
Grateful that when you make a decision, you can make another decision and change your mind.
Grateful for the internet. It is good to be able to look things up to make healthy decision.
Grateful that I have the fixings for oatmeal cookies. That is my goal for the week.
Grateful for all who walk this journey with me.

Grateful for another day of sobriety.
Grateful that my son is feeling better and can walk upright.
Grateful that we have a great chiropractor who we get to see today.
Grateful that I finished my express book. I have two more of them to read before I can get to my new reader.
Grateful that American Idol is starting again, sad that it is the last season.
Grateful that the same people are back together, they were fun.
Grateful for TV, although I went two years without it. I would miss my books more than I would the television.
Grateful for the food I have to eat. God is very good to me.
Grateful for all of you, thanks for walking this journey with me.
