Grateful for a new day even though it started late.
Grateful for the tools of recovery.
Grateful I don`t have to pick up a pill to deal with my pain. I looked muscle spasms and cramping on the internet because my son said to go to emergency and get a pill to deal with it. When I checked, I saw that I had already been on three of the medications and had stopped taking them. Some I refused to go on because I can`t take anti-inflammatory pills, because of an enlarged kidney.
Grateful that dinner is cooked and all I have to do is cook the cabbage and heat up the rest.
