    5 things I am grateful for TODAY ...

    I have been in an ill mood this evening, and it's good to think of things that I'm grateful for.

    1. Love
    2. Life
    3. Experience
    4. Appreciation
    5. Acceptance

                  5 things I am grateful for TODAY ...

                  - my fast car and lack of speed cameras ... Sounds reckless I know, but all depends on context
                  - my staff, who tuned into the fact I am no longer drinking and stopped ordering wine
                  - my wonderful supportive hubby
                  - Turnagain, turning one year AF, - being so full of joie de vivre ... That is contagious, really
                  - the wonderful sight of kms of sunflowers looking East
                  workaholic, shoeaholic and yes ... alcoholic

                        1) That I am 5 months pregnant and we are healthy so far

                        4) That I have been sober for so long that I don't even think about drinking anymore
                        5) That I found the courage to take control over my life and can start a family now

                          * I woke up feeling great
                          * I am having dinner and then seeing a movie with my kids tonight (and I won't be standing them up because I spent the afternoon drinking wine)
                          * My employer values and respects me because I am reliable now
                          * I'm in good health - feel and look better than I have in a long time
                          * I have not had a drink in over a year, which means I've been sober for my daughter's entire last year of high school

                          PS: My ex-husband joked about my daughter leaving for college in a few weeks. He said, "What a relief, huh? You can finally start getting hammered again!" Nice. But, honestly, I had to laugh. And I'm grateful that today I can laugh!

                            --i'm grateful for this thread!!! every time i make such a list, i'm able to re-focus.
                            --big splashy rain puddles. my daughters and i came out of the movie theater and it was pouring!! i didn't want to ruin my pretty leather sandles, so i took them off, put them in my purse and we ran through the puddles --home.
                            --the hot bath we took afterwards!
                            --yummy pasta cooking on the stove.
                            --a sober day!!!

                              today, the main thing i'm grateful for is..

                              that i was able to be available for my 10 year old daughter last night when i heard her quietly crying in bed--she had something so heavy in her heart and she could tell me, and i could hold her and tell her how much i love her and that everything really will be ok. a few weeks ago i could have easily been passed out to the point of her not being able to shake me awake. thank god i was there for her.
