It is most definitely time for a gratitude list! Actually its long over due, I have been in a funk. The work weeks have been long and stressful. The thought that summer is nearly over really sucks. My three-year old is starting preschool in one week and selfishly I want him to remain my baby. I’m sure tears will be shed, most likely from me not him. M&M’s dad is trying my patience….enough said… There are individuals in my life whom I try to understand but wind up confused. Ughhh! No more sulking and more thank you’s. I have plenty to be grateful for:)
- My recovery. It’s the first thing I think about in the morning, and the last gracious thought before I fall asleep. And all day throughout the insanity that is life, I find myself saying a little prayer with big meaning.:)
- Sobriety. I love this way of living! I am so grateful I found it sooner than later:)
- M&M. They are the lights of my life. I cannot put into words how much I love them. And to think how selfish my behavior was when I was drinking could have cost them their mommy….It makes my stomach turn thinking about how many times I could have lost them….Pure insanity….So grateful!!!
- My new nephew from China, whom my sister and brother-in-law recently adopted and brought home. That is pure joy and love for our entire family. It is simply amazing.
- My patients who remind me to keep it real everyday. You are the real heroes and I am grateful to know each of you.
- My friends (in the program and the normies), who put up with my antics, my always running lateness, my being the devils advocate, my quarkiness and I could go on, but thank you for loving me as I am and not giving up on me.
- Running. I’m looking for the passion and drive I once had. Not planning any marathons this time around, just the solitude and mindfulness a good run gives me ….losing a few pounds would be nice too;)
- A certain someone who has dealt with my many nuances and ‘freak outs’….thank you for being you.
- Sunsets. There have been a few beautiful ones lately. I never really sat and watched one…wow! Majestic.
- Me, myself, and I…. I am a grateful for who am I today, and what I went through to get here. I need to keep this in mind when I’m feeling blah. There is ALWAYS something to be grateful for, ALWAYS!š
Very good information. Lucky me I ran across your site by
chance (stumbleupon). I have bookmarked it for later!
