Gratitude List

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for another day.
Grateful that the sun was shining and the weather was much warmer.
Grateful that I could bring out the spring coat and put the winter one away.
Grateful that I ran into my "unofficially" adopted daughter and got a hug. We don't see each other very often. I met her before she got married and before I came into recovery. I introduced her to Al-Anon and her husband to AA.
Grateful for the gifts of recovery. Her middle child is a reflection of my inner child, I saw myself in her. I found out today she is going to be an exchange student and going to England for three weeks. She is doing what I always wanted to do, travel. She is a cadet and keeps rising in rank and doing well. I am so proud of her.
Grateful that I came home because my son was looking to give ME some money. Felt bad that I was in too much pain to stay downtown and visit with her. I went to do my taxes and returned a book to the library. On the bus, I thought "I should have phoned Patti she doesn't live too far from here." I met her in the mall just outside the library.
Grateful that when my knee gave out on the bus, I fell on the seat. I felt bad and wanted to push myself and kept telling myself I should have stayed downtown. Yet the bus came when I got to the stop, and the connection was there.
Grateful my son showed up and paid me back some money he borrowed.
Grateful that I felt like cooking my roast chicken dinner, even though I only ate half my chicken.
Grateful that I have a new book to read The Perfect Witness by Iris Johansen as there is nothing I want to watch on TV unto 10 p.m. when a new Chopped program comes on.
Grateful for all the blessings today.
Grateful for all who walk this journey with me.
