    Re: Express your Gratitude

    I'm grateful for mid-summer, when the pace slows down a bit . Great time to be immersed in a good book!
    My life is better without alcohol, since 9/1/12. My sobriety tool is the list at permalink 236 on the toolbox thread under monthly abstinance.

      I would love some summer reading suggestions, Sunbeam!
      I'm grateful for the warm and balmy evening.. that I can sit outside on the balcony and read with out an extra light source until 9pm.

        Lifechange, I'm currently reading House of the Spirits by Elizabeth Allende. The Japanese Lover by this author was also very good. But my favorite books are non-fiction, written by Pulitzer Prize-winning authors. So many choices on this list, all so well- written: http://www.pulitzer.org/prize-winners-by-category/223. I'm not a fan of serial best-sellers.

          Today I'm grateful for a strong mind and body.
          Instead of homing in on what's wrong with me when I look in the mirror - I am going pivot to notice the positives.
          I will appreciate what this 'old bag of bones' does for me each and every day

            Thanks, Sunbeam!
            Love that, Satz.. I've been trying to do the same thing.

            Today I'm grateful that its Summerbreak, warm outside and that the girls are relaxing. The freedom and feeling of having an infinite amount of time. Remember that?

              I'm grateful that my 12 hour work days should end today, think I've caught up enough to get back to regular hours next week!

              Yep I do remember those days LC! Thinking of all the things I'd accomplish before I got old, then drinking came along and I wasted 30 of those years! Such a waste...
              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.

                  Beautiful, Dill! I ran into one of those little friends yesterday as well.. she just flew by me and I was so surprised. Here we see them so rarely.
                  Today I'm grateful for Saturday.. a day off, feeling great mentally and pretty ok physically. Have got to start exercising regularly again!!:happy2:

                        I'm grateful again.. twice in one day!
                        Today we had an amazing thunder storm and my youngest daughter and her best friend were here.. my daughter wanted to run out to the park in the downpour but her friend didn't want to.. normally I would have preferred to watch from the balcony, but instead I said, hey, come on, I'll join you.. so they both came and we had a BLAST. Can't remember the last time I did that. I'm grateful for feeling free.. freedom from alcohol is leading to so much more..
