I’m grateful that our auto dealership gives me a courtesy truck to use while mine is in for repairs. At least I can keep making money as they spend it for me lol.

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'm grateful that I'm up, showered, dressed, and able to pick up my 94 yo mom to take her to the dentist at 7:45 AM. If I was hungover, I would have made her appointment after noon just so I would be functioning. Others truly suffer while we feed our beast.Mary Lou

Re: Express your Gratitude
Right there with you @Satz! I think all of us here have not been kind to our bodies!
[MENTION=9531]catch22[/MENTION] - you should have taken a pic of the glitter in your hair! Made me smile just thinking about it!
Hope the cost isn't too high on your truck! The repairs are not fun, but not having a car payment is nice!
Grateful that my car is holding up and that I don't have a car paymet!Comment

Re: Express your Gratitude
Hi everyone,
I somhow lost my momentum on MWO and this thread. I'm grateful to be back. I'm grateful my husband is doing all my duties today as it seems I've pulled a groin muscle. I'm a pretty active person,and this is not sitting well with me because I don't want to sit! I think it's a sign that I need to spend more time balancing my activities with consistent stretching. I'm not a spring chicken anymore but I like to act like I am.

Re: Express your Gratitude
I’m greatful for theater performances. We saw In the Heights today, Lin Manuel Miranda’s precursor to Hamilton. I love all the familiar musicals, but this was new and wonderful.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.Comment

Re: Express your Gratitude
In light of the recent horrible events I am struggling to find something to say here on the gratitude thread. And yet I know that gratitude is needed more than ever. So,.....I'm grateful to all the brave and kind souls that sprang into action to help fellow human beings at the horrific shooting scene in Vegas. I am grateful for the bravery and quickness of the first responders. I am grateful for the police and the emergency medical personnel. I am grateful for the good in this world and I don't ever want to lose sight of it because that would mean a soul killing loss of hope. Evil must not triumph!Last edited by dill; October 2, 2017, 05:19 PM.Dill
