P is for POLICE...not really grateful for them at the moment. I jsut got a speeding ticket about 20 minutes ago. I called the number on the ticket to see how much it was. They dont asnwer. So i can,t see how much school is or how long or how much the fine is. I guess my gratitude is..i have not had a speeding ticket since I was 16 years old. So he made sure i got it GOOD. I really dont think he had to put it was 20 miles over. He COULD have put a little less. I was very POLITe to him.
Oh well. Gotta look for the lesson in this one I guess.

T is for...... TRUST
For me that's a biggie. I never was able to give my full trust to anyone, even to God. Somehow it always backfired on me when I would let go. I grew and things got better but my trust was still half - hearted. Then I had to deal with an addict. So my trust was shattered again. That is where recovery came in and gave me the ability to trust again. To trust God, and myself and my addict. It didn't come all at once and there are still fleeting moments of doubt but now I know there is always one power I can turn to, to trust in...... my HP. Who is always there even when I am not consciously thinking about Him.
