Grateful for a day of sobriety.
Grateful that I had two new beginnings. I needed them. Grateful for meditation. Today's meditation said, "Find a personal Power Place and call on the Four Elements through prayer of gratitude. Remember that you are a Catalyzer and are totally responsible for your personal empowerment. Being the Catalyzer in any situation means you are commanding your talents to effect some kind of result. - From Sacred Path by Jamie Sams Grateful that the sun is still shining. Grateful that dinner is almost ready. Grateful that I was able to do so posting, the day isn't the same if I don't make it to the sites. Grateful for all those who walk this journey with me. http://www.animated-gifs.eu/water-frogs/0238.gif |
Grateful for another day of sobriety.
Grateful for the snow flurries, they helped with my Christmas Spirit. Grateful they aren't accumulating, then I wouldn't be able to get out and about. Grateful that I got to go out shopping today, really needed the exercise. Grateful that I got some sleep, but when I looked in the mirror, wasn't so grateful. Didn't like what was staring back at me. I looked sleepless and clueless. :( Grateful for all the gifts that I have been given, so many are homeless and hungry. Grateful for these little trees, they make me smile. Grateful for all those who walk this journey with me. http://www.animated-gifs.eu/ps-christmas-tree/0005.gif |
Grateful for another day, not too sure about sobriety, but I was sober.
Grateful that my pantry and freezer are full and don't have to go out to shop. Grateful that I am feeling better, although my cold is far from gone. Grateful, even though I have been lax this week, for all the gifts of sobriety. Grateful for the Promises of AA. Grateful that my God is loving, forgiving, and caring. Grateful for this site and the ability to share with you. Grateful for those who share this journey with me. Grateful for the reason for the season. http://www.animated-gifs.eu/christmas-crib/0050.gif |

The Train of Life: THIS IS VERY BEAUTIFUL I AM HONORED TO HAVE RECEIVED IT. NOW, ON TO YOU MY FRIEND! At birth we boarded the train and met our parents, and we believe they will always travel on our side. However, at some station our parents will step down from the train, leaving us on this journey alone. As time goes by, other people will board the train; and they will be significant i.e. our siblings, friends, children, and even the love of your life. Many will step down and leave a permanent vacuum. Others will go so unnoticed that we don't realize they vacated their seats. This train ride will be full of joy, sorrow, fantasy, expectations, hellos, goodbyes, and farewells. Success consists of having a good relationship with all passengers requiring that we give the best of ourselves. The mystery to everyone is: We do not know at which station we ourselves will step down. So, we must live in the best way, love, forgive, and offer the best of who we are. It is important to do this because when the time comes for us to step down and leave our seat empty we should leave behind beautiful memories for those who will continue to travel on the train of life. I wish you a joyful journey on the train of life. Reap success and give lots of love. More importantly, thank God for the journey. Lastly, I thank you for being one of the passengers on my train. When I step off the train of life I will be glad you were part of my journey This email was cleaned by emailStripper, available for free from http://www.papercut.biz/emailStripper.htm |
Grateful for a new day, much happier about where I am at.
Grateful that I ran into my friend Pam at the mall and got a hug hello and goodbye. Grateful that though the stores were busy, I didn't find anxious or confined by all the people. Grateful that I made the decision to treat myself to a turkey dinner today, even though it cost me $15. plus a tip. I couldn't believe I ate the whole thing. Grateful that I got to take my book back, but not so grateful that the library was closed. Grateful that I am so full, I have no thought of needing to cook. If I get hungry, I am going to make myself a grilled cheese sandwich. I bought lots of cheese at the market. Grateful that I bought a pork tenderloin, but thinking I should really eat the last of my chicken and gravy and make potatoes and stuffing to go with it. Grateful that I have the food and that I have freedom of choice. Grateful that I didn't miss my bus and didn't have to take a taxi home. I was too tired to walk it, even though I thought it!

Grateful for a great Christmas with family. Grateful for the healing I received that allowed me to go to my sister's home. Grateful for the Christmas presents, especially and beautiful black and white sweater coat.

Grateful for the books I downloaded, they have been a new experience and look forward to reading them in the future. I just have to learn how to delete them when I have read them. Grateful for the 3 hours I got. I had big plans for a good sleep, but hopefully I will manage to get those extra hours later. Grateful for all the people in my life and walk this recovery journey with me. https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/i...s5pUSwLvV_NExC |

Grateful that I connected with my old sites in Yahoo. Grateful for the friends who share with me, and supported me on my journey. Grateful that I can access them, although some I can't post on, it is along time since I posted there, I think some of them are read only. Grateful that I could share what spoke to me in today.

Grateful to have another day of sobriety.
Grateful for my treatment at the Holistic Center. He said my body was all twisted. I know I felt like I had had a stroke. He was able to get my left foot going forward instead of 45 deg. angle heading the wrong way. Grateful for my son helping me to walk there and to the mall to the bank and walking me home. Grateful for the walk and exercise in the snow. Thankfully it hadn't gotten so thick that I couldn't push my walker through it. Grateful that I can now go for a nap and let my hip rest after all the exercise, better to do that than taking a pill. Grateful for all those who walk this journey with me. May you walk in peace. https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/i...rc82jSQ1jN0XfE |

Grateful that I still have money on my laundry card so I can do a couple of loads when I get home. I don't like doing things on Monday, it is always so busy then.

Grateful for another day of sobriety.
Grateful that my sister is going home tomorrow.

Grateful for tennis and curling, got to watch them when the pain was bad and I couldn't sleep. Grateful for meditation.

Grateful that recovery is a process and it is one day at a time. Grateful for a good dinner sent to me by a friend. Grateful for my son who just finished cleaning my refrigerator and washing my kitchen floor. Grateful for all of you who walk this journey with me.

Grateful for a good day. I got out and out again. Grateful my son took me grocery shopping, after I bought him breakfast.

Grateful that I could see things as they are, rather than how I would have them be. Grateful that my doctor is sending me for tests to see if he can find a solution.

Grateful that our Canadian player is in the semi-finals. The first time for any Canadian to obtain this feat. Grateful that even though I had very little sleep last night, I made it through the day.

Grateful for another day of sobriety.
Not so grateful that all my pictures have gone and the site that I have gotten pictures from for years, is down. The site is there, but when you click on a picture, it becomes a block. Grateful that it is taking me to other sites, but they are for the most part, a little bigger than I want. Grateful that I am going to meet my friend for brunch for her birthday. We went through treatment together in November - December 1991. Grateful that I stayed sober. Grateful that even though she relapsed, she came back to the program. Grateful to have her in my life in today, there was a time I had to physically attach for my own serenity and sobriety. Grateful for the gifts my God brings to me each day. Grateful that I have the awareness to see them for what they are. Grateful for my son who has been very good to me and cooking and cleaning my apartment. Grateful that my God is a healer and great physician. My fibromyalgia was so bad last night that I hit a wall and couldn't function. Grateful I woke up feeling better and able to post.

Grateful for the food that I had to eat in today and that my son will cook dinner if he is still here. Grateful that my sister is doing well and gets her stitches out today. Grateful that I finished my books, finished one and read another one. Now I have to talk myself out of picking up my computer to read another one. It just may take a prayer to be willing to be willing to go to bed. Grateful that a day can start any time, even when my clock is off. Grateful for those who share this journey with me, God Bless. http://rs732.pbsrc.com/albums/ww327/...eBook.gif~c200 |

She gave me some helpful advice, the answer to a prayer I said yesterday. Grateful that I woke up, because I am feeling hungry. I am thinking strawberry creamed cheese with strawberry jam on either a salted cracker or a sweet dinner roll. Grateful for choice in today. Grateful that help is there when you ask for it. I have to remember not to take it for granted. I have to surrender, and when I do, I am given the courage, strength, and direction and through Self-Empowerment I am able to do what I need just for today, with the hope that I can remember to do it on a daily basis.

Aids in getting organized and solidifying changes. Shows self-reliance, independence and fearlessness in trials and tribulations. Are you too scattered in thoughts and actions? Do you need to stand up for your beliefs and opinions? Are you using your intuition throughout the day? Pig can teach power and respect in the balance of complacency and activity. Pig is resourceful and will teach the lessons to uncover what is needed. Pig medicine can show the power of transformation and quick change of direction may be needed in different aspects of your life. |
Grateful for another sober day, not too much sobriety (soundness of mind) to be found.
Grateful that I didn`t have to go out and that I could postpone my chiropractor`s appointment to Friday instead of embracing the elements. Grateful that I could take a walk downstairs to the Pharmacy to get some exercise to return my empty pill container. It has to be filled for Saturday as Monday is a holiday. Grateful for a holiday, although for me, oft times, every day is a holiday. It is a day to celebrate and be grateful for. Grateful that I don`t have to wake up in my son`s head tomorrow. I think he is going to feel a little worse for wear when he wakes up. Grateful that I have choices as to what I am going to eat in today. I can choose healthy or not so healthy (not sure how it found it`s way into my refrigerator). LOL! Grateful that I can still have a sense of humour in today. Even more grateful that my God has one too! Grateful that I was able to come back and post this, very much long overdue. Grateful for the skin I am in, even though it has been hurting the last few days. Not too grateful for the muscle spasms, cramping and chest pains. Grateful that I am as happy as I make up my mind to be. Stuff happens, but it don`t have to let it cover me and bury me, I can shake it off and let go and let my God help me through each day, no matter what happens. Grateful I can say, `Be gone, I don`t have time for you in today.` Grateful for those who walk this journey with me. https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/i...UqDDpd89dLi4O3 |

Grateful there were snow flurries on my way to the meeting and there was no snow when I came out. Grateful that I got a call from the Holistic Center for 11 a.m. tomorrow. Grateful that I got my doctor's appointments straighten around. I write them down and then forget where I wrote them. I didn't make it from the phone to the calendar. Grateful that it is just one day at a time. Grateful that I am a work in progress and there is no race to be won. I would probably come in last every time. As I shared at my meeting today, "I am the busiest person doing nothing that I know." It doesn't seem like I do much, but there never seems to be enough hours in a day. Grateful for all those who walk this journey with me. http://www.animatedimages.org/data/m...image-0012.gif |

Grateful that the market was open, my other home away from home. Grateful that I woke up in time to get out of my apartment.

Grateful to be alive and sober today.
Grateful that I am able to help a friend in need. Grateful for my job(s). Grateful for dirty dishes (it means I have food to eat). |
Thanks for sharing, have the following in a plaque in my kitchen. I got it in Atlantic City when my son was 4 years old and in 4 months, he will be 50.
THANKS Thank God for dirty dishes, They have a tale to tell. While others may go hungry, We`re eating very well. With home, health and happiness, I shouldn`t want to fuss. By the stack of evidence, God`s been very good to us. |
Grateful for another day of sobriety.
Grateful that I remembered to post today, some days my forgetter forgets. Grateful for tennis and curling that has been on although I have gotten behind in watching it. Grateful for the help with my headaches at the Holistic Center that allowed me to be able to read and do some catching up. Grateful for a week that promises to be busy. Grateful that I have a lot of clothes or I would be embara$$ed. Hopefully the ultrasound will show what is causing my hip to keep going out.

Even more grateful, when he does the dishes. Grateful for all the Gifts my God so graciously bestows on me and mine.

Grateful for another day of sobriety.
Grateful for the sunshine. Any day with sunshine is a good day! Grateful that I met up with my friend Barb at Tobey's and had a good visit. Grateful that my chiropractor was pleased with my adjustment but wasn't happy that it had been so long since my last visit. As a result, he wants me to go back next Friday. Grateful that a follow up visit is No Charge!!! Grateful that I ran into a fellow AA member. I was in the rooms when he came in. Others didn't have faith in him, but I did. He not only needed it, but wanted it. Some of the doubter themselves relapsed. Grateful for all the bargains I picked up today. Grateful that my memory was working and I picked up things I needed that I forgot yesterday! ;) Grateful that each day is a new beginning and a day can start any time.

By the looks of things I have been short on gratitude the last few days.
Grateful that I am clean and sober through it all. Grateful for the tools of recovery that allowed me to work through my issues the last few days. Grateful for the friends who have been there for me. Grateful that my doctor asked me to come in for a follow up, just hoping and praying I can get there and the sidewalks are cleared. Grateful that the new medication seems to be working. Not sure I want to take it, I search the side affects and they scare me. I will be keeping a careful watch on how my body reacts to it. So far, they haven't helped the pain in my feet. Grateful that I found the energy and the desire to make chocolate pudding. Grateful that my pantry, deep freeze and refrigerator are full. Too bad I haven't felt like eating. It won't go anywhere, unless my son comes to visit. ;) Grateful for meditation. I don't know how I would survive without it. Grateful that my God is good. Good is God being anonymous. Grateful for all of you who walk this journey with me. http://www.graphicsfactory.com/clip-...ogo-Banner.jpg |
Grateful for another day of sobriety.
Grateful that I made a connection with others in recovery and with friends in today. Grateful that I got some sleep. It felt like caught up sleep and felt much better when I woke up. Grateful for my grilled cheese, it worked for me and don't have the feeling of 'more' and the blessings of the day that allow me to say enough. Grateful that the sun was shining. It felt even better being out in it. I was grateful that I had to wait on my bus and could soak some of it up. Grateful for the program that showed me a new way of life. I no longer have to act out in my dis-ease. Grateful for the 12 Steps, they are applicable to all areas of my life. I don't have a drinking and drug problem, but those thinking problems can get me every time if I don't walk with my God and work the program into my life. Grateful that I no longer have to sweep things under the rug or hide them away. I can face my fears and walk in faith knowing the program works for me and my God is near. Grateful for those who walk this journey with me. God Bless. https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/i...lCWzqNV0k6AYNQ |
Grateful for another day of sobriety.
Grateful for the sunshine and warmer weather. Grateful that I got to a meeting and met up with some old friends and met some new ones. Grateful that things just unfolded the way it should. I hadn't planned to turn right after getting off the elevator at the market but I did. I met a girl who had relapsed and gave her an Al-Anon Forum I had in my purse and an AA meeting list along with my phone number. Grateful that I met a new friend at the meeting, gave her the address of this site because she will be going back to work and won't always be able to get out to meetings. I gave her my phone number too and said, "Call me any time." If I am not available, my answering machine will take your call and I will call you back. Calls from other people help me too. Grateful that I am able to post. Wasn't feeling sleepy when I got home, so glad to share my awesome day with you. Grateful for all those who walk this journey with me. God Bless. http://dl3.glitter-graphics.net/pub/...i2u6s737ka.gif |
Grateful for another sober day. My gratitude is long overdue.
Grateful that I have no pain. My body feels numb and that doesn't feel so great either. Grateful that my doctor is trying to find a solution. I am not sure a numb bum and a numb brain are the right solution. Grateful that I have food to eat and in today, an appetite to eat it. Grateful for the sunshine that came out, the first time in four days. Grateful for my son, although he tries my patience at times, I do appreciate his help. Grateful for this program, which I need just as much in today as I did 24 years ago. Grateful that it is a 24 hour program, not a 2-4 hour a day program, or a 2-4 days, weeks, month or years. Grateful that no matter what, I don't have to go back to where I came from, prior to when I entered the doors of recovery. Grateful that my computer made up it's mind to work in today. Grateful that The Promises do come true in my life. Grateful for all of you who share this journey with me. http://www.animatedimages.org/data/m...image-0025.gif |
Grateful to be alive and sober today!
Grateful for a day off tomorrow. Grateful to be going to visit my Mom and sister. Grateful for this website. |
Grateful for another day of sobriety.
Grateful that I could get out into the sunshine. Grateful that I was able to walk downtown, even though my hip is out, I felt like I needed the exercise. Grateful that I have an appointment with my Chiropractor. I may have to go Monday if I can get a cancellation. Grateful that there is chocolate. Going to make chocolate pudding when I finish posting. Grateful that I found some new authors (to me) at the library. Went for 1 and came back with 4, the true addict. I don't know if I am a bookaholic or a readaholic. Grateful that my chili was edible. I know it is too much information, but I am still tasting it and that is why I want to make the pudding. I would be very grateful if it tastes better tomorrow. Grateful for food to eat and a roof over my head that says, "You are home." Grateful for all those who share my journey with me. God Bless. http://www.animated-gifs.eu/category...trick/0041.gif |
