Gratitude List

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for a new day of sobriety. I can remember what happened yesterday, and will try to do better today.
Grateful that my sister is out of the hospital, would have been more grateful if someone had called me before I went up to see her. It was a real trigger, although I knew she was much better, I was reminded of the time I walked into the hospital and found my Mom's bed empty, only to be told by a candystripper that she died 3 hours before and no one had been able to reach me to tell me the news as I was in transit.
Grateful that things like this happen so we can have that extra bit of healing we need. I was only 20 years old then and there was a long rode of my addiction after that and I didn't know how to heal a lot of the grief.
Grateful for the rain last night and the sunshine today. My body is still hurting, so I am hoping that it means more rain.
Grateful that it is breakfast time because I just realized I am hungry. I am actually thinking of an omlette instead of a sandwich.
Grateful that I have a doctor's appointment today. I have a couple of things I want to speak to him about. The last two times I have had a student and I want a face to face with my doctor.
Grateful that I have food to eat and a place to lay my head at night. I was only one step off the streets when I found recovery, so I have much to be thankful for. I don't have a lot, but what I have is mine and the gifts of this journey have been priceless.
Grateful for all of you who walk this journey with me.
