Gratitude List

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for another day of sobriety. Tonight, no so much! I was sober but the emotions took a few steps backward.
Grateful that I finally cashed my winning prize from last year's New Year's party. It was for a free meal put on by the Tenent Committee.
Grateful for the good food. As a friend of mind says, "Anything that someone else cooks, always tastes better, even if it is just a grilled cheese sandwich." We had a bit more than that, juice, cheese, dinner roll, pickles, roast beef, gravy, mashed potatoes, carrots, and stuffing. It was followed with pie and ice cream for dessert, along with a frozen dessert which tasted like Dream Whip and fruit. I had pumpking pie. They also had cherry and apple. To top it off, I got served first. I thought I would hide in the corner and be out of the way and I lucked out.
Grateful that I was able to get a good night sleep, or should say morning, because I didn't wake up until 1:11 p.m. Had a late start to the day, but got everything done. I got myself a little batter operated alarm clock for $2.00.
Grateful that the sun was shining today. My body is saying that we are going to get lots of rain.
Grateful that I was able to do grocery shopping yesterday and only had to pick up the ones I forgot today. When I got home, my son informed me that I needed Ketchup! Oh well, a good reason to go out and shop again. It depends on the weather and how much rain we get.
Grateful for all the food I bought. I just have to remember that it is there.
Grateful for a busy week. My feet are not as swollen, so the medication must have been the problem. It is important to take it as prescribed. It is even better to remember to take it, which I hadn't been doing.
Grateful that my God is loving, caring, and forgiving.
Grateful for all of you who share this journey with me.
