I know what ya mean about the short week. I was also sick and missed Monday. I have more things to be grateful for than the day of the week. I like friday because every other one is PAYDAY. But I love my job, so looking forward to it ending for the week is not that important to me.

I am grateful for my health, my family, my friends. I am grateful I have talents and two jobs that I love. I am grateful for my faith and my HP. I am grateful for my recovewry andt eh wonderful changes it has brought in my life. These things are some of the bigger things in my life I am grateful for.

I had a very nice birthday yesterday. In our family we always call the birthday people on their birthday, but for some reason only my sister called. Nobody on my husband's side called. Instead of being ungrateful and angry that none of them called, I let it go. Why be ungrateful for something pety like that???

Good Morning Misyeve,

Grateful definitely !!!

I put this post up a couple of days ago after I heard it at a meeting. Guess no one was grateful that day there were no replies

list ten things you are greatful for today:-

1. grateful to be alive
2. " to have a Higher Power
3. " to have a Program
4. " to have a roof over my head
5 " to have food on my table
6. " to have my family
7. " to have my serenity
8. " to have a wise sponsor
9. " to have a bright sunny day
10 " to be able to share with my friends in recovery

At the meeting this was done rapid fire , you would be surprised how many folks couldn't make it to ten things!!!

There is so much in this world to be grateful for and I thank God for that.

Love & God Bless
Arlene

Dear Lin----A lot of people stop making a big deal out of their birthday or anyone eles once they reach 21 years old. Maybe your other family members felt birthdays
aren't so important any more or they could be selfish pigs!!! Who knows??? GOK=GOD ONLY KNOWS!!! I'm
glad you are feeling better and back on your feet. Thanks for stoppin by today------Mistyeve


My Very Dear Arlene Honey----What a
excellent gratitude list!!!! So glad you could share that and real
sorrry I missed your post on it. A lot of times I just come to this column and no where else. When I was early in recovery it took me hours to come up with 10 things and even now it can take a few minutes.
You can't be hateful when you're grateful!!! Thanks so much for stopping by today. Grateful Hugs---

Grateful for a new day of bright sunshine, a day of promise and hope that I make it to the meeting tonight. Grateful that no matter what comes along, there isn't anything that a drink or drug will make better.

Grateful today I can live in the solution instead of the problem, me!!!

Dear Caressa---I have always loved that peace of advice:THERE'S NOTHING SO BAD THAT A DRINK OR DRUG
WON'T MAKE IT WORSE. I am grateful to know that I can face the world sober no matter what. Thanks for stopping by!-----Mistyeve
