Grateful for another day. Grateful for the last day of 2014. Grateful for the opportunity to put closure on this year and the opportunity to start a new one. Grateful for the gifts of 2014. Grateful for the lesson learned and the experiences garnered, and the awareness given. Grateful for the doses of the reality, whether accepted or denied in the moment. Grateful for the choices and for the gift of being able to chose again. Grateful for the grace so graciously received and the grace that was unconsciously received, but always done with a humble attitude that without you God, nothing is possible. Grateful that even though I may not always have the right words to say what I want to say, you know what I mean. Grateful that each day is a closer walk with Thee. How much time We have missed! Grateful for those who walk this journey with us.  |

Grateful for today. It seemed like a day and a half. Grateful that I got some sleep. Grateful for leftovers. Grateful to wake up in time for Jeopardy. Grateful that I listened to myself after giving myself a good talking to. (Told myself my book would be there when I woke up.) Grateful for family and friends and that means you. Grateful that January is gratitude month. For me, gratitude is something that belongs in every day of the year.  |

Grateful that today is drawing to a close, it hasn't been one of my better day. Grateful that I finally did get my posting done, wasn't sure I was going to be able to get on the computer to post. Grateful that pray works! Grateful that my God can do for me what I can't do for myself. Grateful that I finally figured out what was going on with the readings. There was a lot of duplicates, and I was trying to figure out how I could post and share on them, so I think I finally got the enlightenment I need. Grateful that all things work for the higher good of all. Grateful that when I went down to the pharmacy today that I got a box of biscuits covered in dark chocolate for 49 cents. $3. off, they are probably stale but should be okay for dunkin'! Grateful for those who walk this journey with me!  |

Grateful for another day of sobriety. Grateful that my computer is fixed. Grateful that I was able to post, even though I need to call it a day. Grateful that blessings come in many forms and I am able to recognize them. Grateful for leftovers. Grateful that a day can start any time, I am about to start this one over again when I get off line. Grateful for those who walk this journey with me.  |

Grateful for another day of sobriety. Grateful that a new day is starting, hopefully it will bring more patience and tolerance than the last 24 hours. My computer has been slow and I have been slower.  Grateful that my computer is still working. Grateful for a delicious dinner, even if I did make it myself. That hasn't always been true lately, very grateful to have a renewed interest in food back in my life. Grateful that I got to watch some tennis. My fibromyalgia has come out of remission and hasn't allowed me to do a lot of things that I normally do. Grateful that I finished my book. Looking forward to a new book by Richard North Patterson. I tried to read it before but was unable to do so because it isn't large print, so going to give it a valiant try to see if we can get through it this time. Grateful that I have no pressing appointments because a lot of cold is in the forecast, although if my head ache persists I will have to try to get into see my chiropractor before we get any more snow. Grateful for the blessings of each day. My God is very good to me. So grateful for the awareness of His Gracious Gifts each day. Grateful for all who walk this journey with me.  |

Grateful for another day. Grateful that my son came to visit. He even brought his own lunch.  He was grateful I made dessert. I made chocolate pudding. Grateful that I heard from my son today. When I don't hear from him it generally means he is using. It was the same with my sponsees, no news was not always good news. Grateful that my God answers prayer. I prayed and asked for help. I needed the energy and connection to catch up on the daily prayers. Grateful that I got downstairs to the pharmacy and talked to my favourite pharmacist. I told her about getting the blood blisters on my feet from wearing my snow boots and having to cancel my doctor's appointment last week. She is going to put in for a renewal for my cholesterol and gout medications. Grateful that I am on the very lowest of doses 10 mg. for preventative measures and it is because of the fact that I am diabetic rather than the fact that I have high cholesterol. Grateful for small mercies, some people are not so fortunate. Grateful for my pharmacist who is willing to take the time to talk things out with me. She informed me that I was no longer suppose to wear my boots if they hurt my feet. I can't afford blood blisters. They are what caused the problems I had before. She is wee and mighty and makes a great drill Sargent.  More importantly, I tend to listen to her. Grateful that curling and tennis is on. Not so grateful that our Canadian tennis player lost, but he did play a good game, lost 7/6, 7/6 to a Swedish player. Grateful for a busy day, I finished my gook and started a new one Bones Never Lie by Kathy Reichs and trying to figure out if I have already read it. I have it to look forward to this weekend. Monday is Family Day, a holiday, but then every day is a holiday for me. It is a gift and most days are worth celebrating, especially now that I have my computer back. Grateful for those who walk this journey with me.  |

Grateful for another day, it is truly a new day. Grateful that I can look at a new day with hope and thanksgiving. Grateful that yesterday was a good day, even though I didn't feel all that great. Grateful that an afternoon sleep helped me get the energy to cook dinner. Grateful that I felt like eating it, even though it wasn't until 10 p.m. Grateful for an intuitive and creative mind. Life would be so, so boring without it. Grateful that I remembered the tribute to Stevie Wonder. It was two hours of awesome music. My soul was enriched and better for it. Grateful for music. At the moment I am listening to "The Light" station on digital TV. Grateful that there is no snow and it is suppose to stay away until Tuesday. Hope to get out and get some exercise tomorrow. Grateful for all those who walk this journey with me.  |

Grateful for a new day, even though my son woke me up before I planned to get up. Grateful that the snow that is falling is very light. Grateful that I can go back to bed and start my day again, I think it is about to happen, even though tennis and curling is on, although I do want to stay up and see Neil Patrick Harris on Ellen. Grateful that my son took my recycle down to the basement for me. Grateful that my son brought me a package of mini-bite brownies. I gave him a package with two pork chops, a lb. of margarine, and 8 eggs. Worked for me. Grateful that the Nature of Things has a program about Owls. I think it may win out over American Idol tonight on TV. Grateful for music. The song playing is "We don't have to be Lonely tonight" with Blake Shelton. Grateful for all of you who walk this journey with me.  |

Grateful for a very good day, some how I seem to miss a day or I end up with a day and a half, when I post a gratitude list.
Grateful for sunshine today. It helped make the cold, cold temperature warmer.
Grateful I was able to get out because it is suppose to snow this weekend, although I think it will have to get warmer to do that.
Grateful that when I got to the chiropractor's office, I got right in. Grateful that I stood up to the taxi drive and set a boundary with him, he started taking me a long way around and I told him, the are is generally $7. and said that traffic was bad and that was why he went the way he did. I gave him $7.50. His meter read $9.50.
Grateful that I was able to walk to the bus stop and not have to take the taxi downtown.
Grateful that I got to the library to pick up my 8 books plus an express books.
Grateful that I was able to get pre-cut pkgs. of turnip and squash along with one of brussel sprouts at the market.
Grateful for a special on garlic and herb cream cheese from Quebec at Denninger's on sale for $3.99.
Grateful it was Friday and the Freshly Squeezed special for today Strawberry and Banana fruit juice smoothie. It is all juice and I get very little ice, a large for $3.99 plus tax.
Grateful for the little things, they are big things in my life. They make my life special. They are a treat. Just getting out and not looking at four walls is a good thing.
Grateful that I have books to read because there is nothing I want to watch on TV tonight. I didn't sleep very much last night, so may have to have to have a snooze before I read as my book is small print. I have two books by an author new to me, Gayle Lynds.
Grateful for all who walk this journey with me.

Grateful for another day that is almost over and a new one about to begin. Grateful for a day that has been full of surprises, full of fun, food, and not too much frolic. Grateful that my son showed up with a new to me table and chair set, that looks new and costs me nothing. Grateful that although I ate late, dinner was good and I ate it all (bbq. pork cutlet, turnip and mashed potatoes). Grateful that I was able to stay awake to watch the Oscars. Grateful for those who walk this journey with me. Grateful it is a new day, a new beginning I didn't get to finish this before midnight. ;  |

Grateful for another day. Grateful that I finally got some sleep. Fiver hours out of 30 isn't really enough. Grateful that my peanut that my peanut butter cookies turned out. I didn't have enough flour, so made up the difference with the last of my rolled oats. Grateful that I didn't have to go out, we did get some snow, not much, just enough to cover the sidewalks and make it difficult for me to use my walker. I hope and pray it disappears soon because tomorrow is payday and I am way overdue for some exercise and some fresh air. Grateful for the closeness I have felt to my God over the last few days. Grateful how things come together and things are provided and fall into place, and when you thing there is nothing there is always something. Grateful for all of you who walk this journey with me.

Grateful for another good day even though it was one with a lot of pain. Grateful that I got some posting done even though I didn't get all that I had hoped to do. Grateful that my son came by, even though he took his food to go. (I wanted to get rid of my leftovers) Grateful that I could think through the pain and get everything done that I needed to do today. I didn't even need to make a list and check it twice. Grateful that I didn't lose it at Housing today. I was told to pick up my rent receipt on Monday morning, but because I haven't felt well, didn't go until until today. When I went today to pick it up, it wasn't there. I informed them that I had the same issue last year and that I didn't appreciate having to go through the same thing again. I said that I would come back tomorrow and hopefully the receipt would be available then for me to pick up. She checked and apparently my request was filed, so more will be revealed. Last year it hadn't been filed, so that is an improvement. Grateful that I listened to myself. I told my friend's that I needed to be home for 1 p.m. I felt bad about rushing home, because I couldn't remember why I needed to be there other than the fact that my favourite TV show was coming on and I hadn't had lunch. When I walked in, my alarm clock was ringing and had been going for 4 min. It was a good thing I had listened to myself. There was a time I would have ignored that voice if I was doing something that I wanted or liked to do. Grateful that a day can start any time, my feet are really bothering me and I am having a hard time concentrating so having to call it quits. Grateful for all who travel this journey with me, may we all continue to walk clean and sober.  |

Grateful for another day. Grateful that today is pain free. Grateful that the sun is shining. Grateful that it is Friday, not that it makes much difference in my life, it is just another day. It just makes a difference in my TV programs. Grateful for all the tennis that has been on. Grateful for the cooking channel. It started other channels looking at food and it helped my cooking and inspired me. Grateful for Nature shows and the shows on TVO without commercials on other countries, history, geography, and the arts. I don't know how come I never watched these shows before, I missed out on a lot of good viewing. Grateful things come into your life when they are needed. Grateful for my God many blessings. Grateful for all those who walk this journey with me.  |

Grateful for another day of sobriety although by my list, it has been very short. Grateful that I was able to get out to the doctor's today even though it start to snow. Grateful that I things have all come together in spite of the weather and I was able to get out for groceries and get my needs met last week. Grateful that I got some posting done today even though I haven't felt well. Not in a lot of pain, just not having a feel good day. Grateful for those who walk this journey with me.  |

Grateful for another day, although I seemed to miss most of yesterday. Grateful that I have just been a little under the weather not in a lot of arthritic pain. Grateful for music tonight, even turned it off the last two days so you know I wasn't feeling well. Sound seemed to hurt. Grateful that I was able to eat and that it tasted good, even though I cooked it. (pork cutlet with tomato sauce and sweet potato) Grateful that I didn't sleep through all of curling and got to watch some tonight. Grateful that my books aren't due until the 10th, I have one I am reading and two more to read by then. Grateful the snow isn't suppose to come until Saturday. Hopefully I will be able to get out and get some sunshine and exercise tomorrow and then I will have a lot of reasons to be grateful. Grateful for those who walk this recovery road with me.  |

Grateful for another day. Grateful that it wasn't my computer that was the problem yesterday. Grateful that I was able to post today, even though I missed the daily posts from Angelwinks yesterday. Grateful that the chest pains haven't gotten worse, but will be glad to see the specialist on the 17th to confirm that it is the Fibromyalgia and not my heart. Grateful for the thought to put my leftover steak into the slow cooker with veggies, onions and gravy that I have in the freezer. Grateful that when I pray, my God changes my thinking when I ask. Grateful for my God's forgiveness, I haven't made a list for three days. Grateful for that Canada got through to the next level in tennis. I am very patriot when it comes to things like that. I was sad that our Norther Ontario team lost, but they have had a long run, and they lost to a team that came together and played a better game, after a poor start, kudos to B.C. Grateful to those who walk this journey with me.  |

Grateful for another day. Grateful that I found a second wind, fell asleep with my heating pad after doing a healing meditation while watching The Voice. Grateful that I didn't miss the whole show and just had a cat nap. Grateful that I posted instead of picking up my book although it kept calling me. Grateful that the chest pains have gone. Grateful for the healing of my sinus problem. Grateful that the short break from the computer helped my feet and I was able to come back and post more. Grateful that my God is very good to me. Grateful that tomorrow is another day, I will make my cookies then, even though they say, "Tomorrow never comes." I don't really need them anyway. I just happen to want to make oatmeal cookies, I don't need them. Grateful for all those who walk this journey with me.  |

Grateful for another day. Truthfully, I was worrying about the chest pains earlier, thought I was going to have to take myself off to the hospital, even though I really didn't think it was my heart. I did think it was circulation, and because I thought they would hospitalize me for that, I didn't want to go. Grateful I took it to my God and listened. If I felt led to go there, I would have gone. I might have gone kicking and screaming all the way, but I would have done it quietly and obeyed the Hospital Quiet Zone. Grateful that I felt like eating when I woke up, even cooked broccoli and cauliflower to go with my Stouffer Meatloaf TV dinner. Grateful that tennis is on, still not able to concentrate on reading at the moment. Grateful for blessing received and the answers to my prayers. Grateful I was able to meet with my friend Marilyn today for lunch. Grateful that I didn't fall going and coming as snow banks are melting and this morning sidewalks were icy, but it was so nice to see sun and warmer temperatures. Most of the snow is gone, but some of the streets around me have big trees and big old homes, so don't get much sun. Grateful for those who walk this journey with me. Attachments:

He was grateful I made dessert. I made chocolate pudding.
More importantly, I tend to listen to her.
