    Re: Express your Gratitude

    [MENTION=9094]satz123[/MENTION] That's exactly the reason I like this thread as well, and I should post here more often. The posts are usually simple, but often say a lot in very few words. I believe it's imperative when things seem to be going all to hell in our lives that we look for the good things as well. There are usually many things to be grateful for, but they often get lost in the pile of "bad" things happening to us at the moment. Take a moment to look for the good things, and you will usually find them, sometimes where you least expect to.

      A whole year, hard to believe it Satz. Time goes by so quickly as we get older! I know I don't post here every day, and I should, but I do read here every day to be reminded that there is always something to be grateful for!
      Quitting and staying quit isn't easy, its learning a whole new way of thinking. It's accepting a new way of life, and not just accepting it, embracing it...
      Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Just get through today. Tomorrow will look after itself when it becomes today, because today is all we have to think about.
      Friendship is not about how many friends you have or who you've known the longest. It's about who walked into your life, said "I'm here for you", and proved it.

          I am grateful for this gratitude thread. I believe that gratitude is an important part of sobriety. This thread enables me to stay connected to MWO without engaging in lengthy conversations. Those conversations were critical in my healing for a few years, but now I’d rather spend that time engaging in my new life. Thanks friends, for all your support.

            Today I'm grateful that I don't drink, and I'm okay with that...

                  Today I am grateful for a newly installed over the cooktop microwave. It's working just great! Grateful for a husband that doubles as a handyman, LOL!

                        I'm grateful for this quiet Sunday morning, looking out my window and sipping hot coffee. The landscape is beautiful, draped in white, frosty and still.

                          Jude, your post reminded me of a beautiful sight I had the privilege to see two days ago. I looked out my front window at one of our pastures and there was a beautiful red fox making its way thru the newly fallen snow! It was so beautiful and I was so grateful to get to see it.

                                I am grateful for all productive and recreational activity in my life. This month I have sent a bunch of thank you notes for donations to Habitat for Humanity in my area, and I just joined Postcards to Voters.
