What are you Thankful for today?


Just for today, name three things that YOU are grateful for.

1)I am grateful my entire family has their health
2)I am grateful we have food to eat and lots of it.
3)I am grateful for reality TV to let me know that I am not crazy ;)

My AH was offered a drink at his brother's house this afternoon and he declined.
My van was totaled today and I only have 2 bruises from the airbag.

Just today I am thank for
1. My health, that I am healthly enough to have a job to make some income to pay my bills and have a lovely home as I know some do not.

2.  I am thankful for my 11 sibilings, that we all stay in touch with each other every week even tho we all grew up with the same Alcoholic father.  Everyone knows that he loved us all and that he did the best he could because he had a disease.

3.  I am thankful for my A husband that he hasn't drank anything in 3 days and that he has cut way back.  I am very thankfull that I have found God and I am leaning on him daily to help make me strong.

LOL, narrowing it down to 3 is hard!

1. Am grateful hubby was offered another job in Alaska with a future relocation package.
2. I'm grateful that in the morning I see Nature's wonders and take time to thank the Source of it all.
3. I'm grateful that I am able to find gratefulness and happiness in just about everything I see and do.

Namaste',
Christy

ahh yes the rain. We have that here too. Something about it feels clean and refreshing... like a new start. I'm off to bed now and going to listen to it fall and the thunder in the distance. I love it too. :)

I'm grateful I answered the call to put God first in my life.
I am grateful for the past 7 months since I left my AH, and that we still speak to one another.
I'm grateful my oldest son who's in Iraq, will be coming home soon, and my younger son lives down stairs below me!

We don't have rain here, but Kim and I will listen to yours in our dreams. Right Kim? I love the sound of rain on the roof. So soothing to the soul.

1. My 2 beautiful healthy sassy little boys.
2. My AH's 9mo of hard work and sobriety.
3. My 15 wonderful mos in this program.

Night all,

What am I grateful for?  Today is my 39th weding anniversary. 37 of those 39 my husband was actively drinking. (including now)  I am gateful I have HUNG ON and not kicked him to the curb.

I am grateful that I have  2 jobs that I love. They are both very rewarding.

I am grateful I have three spoiled dogs who give me so much plesure...even when they have a yeast ear and it costs "90 at the vet....$16 jsut for them to q-tip them out!  (yesterday).  Grateful I have the money to give them the care they need.

Today I am grateful that
1. My AH is sober and we are much happier now that he is apart of the AA fellowship.
2. I'm grateful that I have two healthy children and that my AH and myself are healthy.
3. I'm grateful that we have two jobs today that afford us to pay for our bills, keep a roof over our heads, food on the table, and gas in the cars. 

Hope everyone has a wonderful day.
