Today I am grateful for a sponsor who told me to make a gratitude list, and this place to do it, and for:

  • my Higher Power, and my ability to receive from Him today
  • the beauty of Nature
  • the spiritual mountaintop experiences that I can't generate at will, but that just show up from time to time
  • my name and what it represents
  • my parents and sisters
  • my home and pets
  • that neither J nor I have had to lose our home despite the rift in our marriage and family
  • that we are getting along ok as friendly roommates
  • that recovery really works if I work it
  • that I am clean, lean and sober today, taking care of myself
  • that we found a rental scooter for J so we can go to the car show
  • for my great client who hired me fulltime, trusts me, wants me to work independently at things I'm good at and is actually willing to pay me to build on my natural talents!

I'm thankful for....

The wonderful body and brain that the good Lord has given me.   Although I'm often dissatisfied with my imperfections, I'm very thankful that at the decrepit old age of 50 + I can still exercise and still solve problems.  

I'm thankful for gadgets and the technology that provides them.  (I'm uploading videos from my grandson's bday party to facebook so that the whole family can see them.   How cool is that?)

And I'm very thankful for you guys, especially Pro who gave us this wonderful site and fellowship.

Thanks to God for this online community and the warm wonderful friends I've made here. Thanks, God, for your constancy in offering me the gifts of serenity, courage and wisdom - mine for the asking - no matter what I'm going through. Thanks for the beauty of Nature, for warm slippers and puppy-dogs, for cranky cats and fuzzy blankets, for hazelnut coffee (how did I live before?!) and ambrosia apples; for 12 Steps, countless tools and endless friends in the fellowships of PA, AA, OA and Alanon. Thanks for another day to be alive, clean and sober; for daily chances to grow and limitless second chances when I fail; for music and prayer and dance, for walking and talking, listening, tasting, seeing, smelling.  Thanks for this thread and for all its power in reminding me that I really do have everything I need to be happy today. And thanks for hearing my prayer, God: that you give a big warm God-hug to my friends who are reading this! 

Today I'm thankful for . . .

Haven't seen your posts before so just want to welcome you and offer hope - "depressed procrastinator" pretty well describes most of us when we find our way to this site, so you're among friends here. I'll add an "amen" and "me too" to your prayers for a wiser, more God-centered life!

Grateful for. . .
