(((Looking Up))) Thank you for sharing your assets and gratitude and it is so nice to hear that you not only have a sponsor but a good friend. I enjoyed walking my new pup this morning in a light rain. Kinda crazy but I find it peaceful to walk in an early morning rain and the spring lilacs smell heavenly. Sounds like you are making great progress.

((lu)) thank you for your share and loving words. I'm grateful for my garden, my cup of coffee and the loving energy HP has me wrapped in today. My assets are intelligence, presence and patience. I too am enjoying the most lovely weather today, the sun coming out from behind a cloud and shining its warmth on me, reminds me of the warmth I receive from my Al-Anon family.

Love, love, love this topic and post. Thanks LU for starting it. Thanks to all for your shares above me!
I chuckled out loud - it is those same birds that LU is grateful for that have been affecting my sleep at my parent's home....while I love to hear them when I'm awake, I readily admit no so much when I'm trying to sleep.
I am grateful to be with my parents and on a break from my own home. I am grateful that I've gotten to see all their friends who are in town and it's lovely to watch/see the generation above me enjoying their last chapters with grace, joy and serenity. I am grateful for the beautiful day here in AZ - love the sunshine and it's been rainy at home while I've been away.
My assets include intelligence, patience and acceptance. I've been very zen this trip - accepting whatever as it unfolds. I'm also grateful that I got to golf with my father for the first time in my life ever and did just fine!
(((Hugs))) to all - thanks 4 sharing with me!

I do not do this enough, it is a great reminder. I am grateful for my health, my family, my job, and that I get to live in a nice quiet place out in the country.

thank you for sharing this lu!
I am grateful for my health and the ability to be as physically active as I want to be without restrictions, I am grateful for my friends who seem to show up out of the blue lately just when I need them most, I am grateful for having spent some time with my mom last night and just enjoying ourselves.
My assets are I am strong, I have a great sense of humour and I love to share it, I am full of love and thanks to Al anon I am learning to share it with people more freely.
Have a wonderful day!
I do an asset, slogan, and gratitude daily with my sponsor. For today, my asset is that last night at my F2F about half the members were tearful during their shares. I am usually reserved when it comes to initiating hugs, but I hugged everyone in the group! My slogan for today is Easy Does It-I am moving out of my office tomorrow and have this one day left to prepare for the movers. I need to relax and keep it simple. Gratitude is that one of my close friends is coming to help me and we will have lunch I together. If I focus on the positive and not the negative, life is good. I'm grateful for this board, Lyne
