Gratitude List

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for another sober day, sobriety didn't enter into the day enough to really count, so far as the day has gone, hopefully, tonight will be better.
Grateful that I found a new series of books by Kathleen O'Neal and W. Michael Gear. It is about America's Forgotten Past and the woman at the library helped me to find the books they had on the shelves and then she was going to order the rest for me. It is good that I am a fast reader, especially when it is about something I am interested in. I hope they are page turners.
Grateful for the library. I would be totally lost without it, it is my home away from home and one of my safe places. I would rather read than watch TV and see movies.
Grateful that I lucked out with a book by one of my favourite authors James Patterson's new book NYPD RED 4.
Grateful that I got to talk to a couple of friends today and saw a couple of fellow AA members at the mall.
Grateful for the wonderful gift of strawberry shortcake. I was going to buy myself a decadent piece of deliciousness, but went to the grocery store and bought three white cupcakes and two quarts of strawberries. I cut up the strawberries, only put 1/4 cup of sugar on it, so it would bring out the juices of the berries and put the berries on the split cup cakes, and added whipped cream. Very tasty, not as fattening, and a lot less sugar content.
Grateful for the sunshine today. It was a beautiful 72 deg. F. with no humidity, even though we are suppose to get thunder storms tomorrow night.
Grateful that I got to the lab to get my blood work done. I have to sit much longer and hold the cotton on the vein, because now I am on a blood thinner, it bleeds much more readily and doesn't clot very fast. I didn't get taken until 4:50 p.m. and I told her not to forget me, it seemed like I was sitting there for ages. I was hoping they didn't shut off the elevator and lock all the doors and I wouldn't be able to get out. I realized where my head was going and had a little laugh at myself.
Grateful that each day is a new beginning. I am thinking of taking a rest and going to do laundry. So far it is thinking, the action isn't there yet, so more will be revealed.
Grateful for all those who walk this journey with me.
Got to love it. I call it the Step One, Two, Three Waltz.
