~Dear God,

Thank you for this day.

~~Help me to stay clean and sober, just for this day.
~~Help me to recognize your hand in all things. ~~Thank you for the blessings I understand and the ones I don't.
~~Thank you for the miracles I see and the ones I don't.
~~Thank you for your spirit who always abides in me. I ask that I may be with your spirit today.
~~Cleanse my mind of all darkness and fill it with love and light.
~~Let me be o.k. with this day no matter what it brings.
~~Thank you for everything that's in my life and everything that's not."

Peace and Blessings

Grace is a wonderful quality of the Spirit. When it is manifested in our lives, it brings the energy that uplifts our vibrations and clears the inner barriers.

To be in a state of grace is to put into practice the certainty that if we knock the door will be opened, and if we ask it will he be given unto us.

Loved reading through your gratitudes Jo....took me a bit to get signed back on here....but with help here I am.....your gratitudes helped me to recognize those things I may be missing in this journey of recovery....not a day passes by ...today I live in happy memories....living in the past is not recovery it is getting stuck in a place I can't change....I can only live in today, and in today I find the gift...now Off to create my own gratitude page! Wish me luck, Peace, Schell

Grateful for another day of sobriety.
Grateful that a day can start any time, I feel like going back to bed, but don't want to miss tennis.
Grateful that just because I am in pain, I don't have to abuse my medication. I met a guy in the mall the other day. He said, "Jo I am like you, in chronic pain 24/7." He then proceeded to tell me the narcotics he was and proceeded to tell me how he was generally high in the sky. He made me very grateful that I haven't gone there. The body manufactures the pain to say you need more. I want to live my life, be aware and live in the moment. I can't do that, because drugs and alcohol take my life away.
Grateful that I seem to have a virus and the flu on top of the arthritic pain, just means a closer walk with my God.
Grateful that just for today, I choose not to use.
Grateful to all of you who share this journey with me.

Hi Jo, I finally got my gratitude page going...Just want to say how grateful I am that you are a big part of my sobriety...thank you for the reminder that you gave with that story about the guy you ran into at the mall...was thinking in the past how my diseased mind would go right away to "hey what do you have on you"? etc, I liked what you said about your thoughts and gratitude for another day sober,,.I have always loved but for the grace of god go I." It has always said so much to me in such a simple way...hits home every time. Peace to you, Schell

Grateful for each new day.
Grateful that the word is an action word, and I am now able to come on line and share with everyone.
Grateful that this morning was mostly pain free, and even though things are catching up with me, I am grateful that I can listen to my body and say "No" we need to take a break.
Grateful that I have a mall downstairs and I don't have to go outside to get to it. We have a door that connects us to it, because it is cloudy and looks like we are going to get more rain.
Grateful that I got to watch the CMA Awards on Wednesday, one of the best shows I have seen in a long time and so glad I could sit and enjoy it.
Grateful that I am having a head start on the holiday season and can listen to smooth jazz versions of Christmas Music.
Grateful for all of you who share this journey with me.

ADD SOME MUSIC TO YOUR LIFE AND REMEMBER TO DANCE!

Grateful to be clean and sober.
Grateful that my treatment today was so healing.
Grateful that I could catch up on some posts.
Grateful that the sun was shining and even though it snowed, the sidewalks were bare.
Grateful for music. I have been listening to Christmas all night, maybe that is why I posted so many holiday pictures. I watched Garth Brooks for about 5 minutes and turned it back to my music.
Grateful that I am able to read, hopefully the treatment will allow me to sit still and concentrate long enough to read a book, instead of taking 3 days, that is not normal for me.
Grateful for the Christmas decorations in the mall, they helped me to get into the spirit of the holiday.
Grateful for all of you who share this journey with me.
If you can't find anything in your life to be grateful for, make one up or just be grateful that you are clean and sober today, grateful for the roof over your head, the food you have to eat, never forget to look for the blessings your Higher Power sends your way. When you see them, always remember to say, "Thank you."
