what am I grateful for today??
Permalink  

TODAY, I am grateful for:

I am living in more faith (in me and HP within)  and less fear, thanks to program and step 3

My younger daughters toe is healing and she may not lose the entire nail

As far as I know, older daughter is still sober

I got another vintage piece of furniture at my favorite thrift shop for el cheap AND some adorable cutoff jean shorts that look great on me..I thought I was gonna have to "sacrifice" some of my designer jeans for summer, but nope...found 5 pair in kids dept....purrrrrfect ..not too short..not too long...

I'm grateful that I am still a "girls size" 14 jeans and pants, same as I was in 7th grade so I can buy clothes cheaper in kids dept..

I am grateful that despite  quitting that bad job and only working 1 day last week, i've managed to #1, fill my fridge and pantry  #2 thrift shop and get some cute stuff  AND   #3 my bills are current 

I am grateful that my favorite grocery store had my favorite ice cream BACK IN STOCK-----salty caramel----its to die for..with these big juicy caramel pieces..(my other vice along with chocolate) !!!!  Tonight, I ate a heaping bowl full for desert

I have people who like and love me for who I am

My 3 doggies are healthy and kitty's leg is mending and shes walking ok now

 

what are you grateful for today????

I'm grateful that I work with great people. I love that my life is simpler today despite my own craziness in my head. And, I'm grateful that I'm learning more each day about myself and about those around me every day.

I'm grateful for my faith in my HP. I know no matter where I am physically or mentally, He is always as close as my own heart.
I'm thankful to be here and for everyone in this group.
I love that I have a job that lets me set my own schedule. I can work in fun family time with my kids today!
I am so humbled and thankful to be sharing life with my kids, to have these smart, beautiful, funny children in my life.
I'm grateful to have food on my table, cold water and A/C in this heat wave!
And I am thankful to have people in my life who love me and wish the best for me.

Great share, Mamalioness!

I am grateful for the roof over my head & the air conditioning that goes with it!
I am grateful to have this space (MIP) as a touchstone.
I am grateful for the flowers I planted on Sunday, as they bring a smile on my face every time I look at them!
I am forever grateful for my parents, who have been more than supportive through this whole ordeal!

I am grateful I can live one day at a time, not dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. It is a good day when I can do that! I am grateful for my higher power who I called God. I am grateful for the alanon program and so much more.

Great topic and share, thank you. It's so easy sometimes to focus on the problems. I am grateful for my family, all of them, crazy or not! I am grateful everyone is healthy currently in my life. Grateful for my roof over my head, the working a/c, food for table, money to pay my bills. I am so grateful for alanon and MIP!

I am grateful that I do not feel so stressed this morning, that alanon is guiding my path, and that I have an entire day ahead of me to try and be productive, kind, and learn something, Lyne

I am grateful that I have this program to lean into as my Kiddo forgets what alcohol experimentation does to him & just keeps doing it.
I am grateful for the ODAT today... my Kiddo has so much guilt for what he has done... I am going to have him read the share about amends. How to move forward and not keep the negative thoughts of what you did in your brain.
I am grateful for the good tip I got at work yesterday... it will allow me to buy some garden soil to plant my cherry tomatoes in! Yay!

Finding grace-so true that it's easy to focus on the problems!

I am grateful that I have a new friend.

I am grateful for my coworkers.

I am grateful that my daughter went to the grocery store today since I worked all weekend (new food, woohoo!)

I am grateful that my oldest daughter is still living. Still living is a chance to find her HP and get clean.
