Happy Friday, everyone.
I had too much on my mind and, perhaps, too much coffee in my system to sleep last night.
I have those times.

I am Grateful and Thankful...

that today is Friday - 2 days off
I have some wonderful bread and turkey from Wholefoods to take for my lunch today
this wonderful taste to my coffee this morning. I got some more honey too
for my AA family and friends who still blog and comment on my blog - it means alot to me
it isn't raining here yet
to the renewed energy and zeal for prayer and meditation that I get after every Thursday RCIA night
for the wonderful Blessings that I have been given
for Trish and her Dentist relative who may be donating some needed supplies for the homeless
that if any of you out there would like to adopt some abandoned kittens and cats, please let me know. A very loving and conscientious friend of mine has taken some in. She wants to find good homes not take to any shelter or have them destroyed.
that Trish and Kathy are very proactive on causes and they have built a fire under me to get with it and work for change and conservation. These women have been doing this stuff for years and years. Good for you Trish and Kathy ! Thank you for helping me get started
Precious
the gift of my faith
God's redeeming Grace and forgivness
that I am happy, joyous and free this morning - with no sleep to speak of
God Bless

Thursday night. Had a wonderful day off. Got my haircut, bought some cool ear rings. Stayed in the salon and talked about this 'n that for awhile. Had a good time.

I am Grateful and Thankful...

that I can be my own person with my own thoughts and beliefs in the face of anger today
my wonderful and skillful hair cut from Wavelength (Trish Herrera) She's ssoooooo good !
to be alive. to be sober, clean and smoke-free
to have Precious in my life. What a gift
for the gift of faith
for God's Grace
for memories. Good and bad.
that I can lay my head down at night in a bed, that I have a roof over my head, and heat
for inspiration from RCIA tonight
thank YOU

Tuesday. Good morning.
Have an appt. with the Eye Doctor this morning.
Another day closer to Thursday.
I have been driven by weight gain to give up honey in my coffee. I liked the taste very much. Too much.

Today, I am Grateful and Thankful...

for life itself
a new day to work on myself and make some positive changes
morning coffee
Precious and her morning "love'n"
the gift of faith
the fact that I get some of this hair cut off in two days - it's alive with a mind of its own
to be sober, clean and smoke-free
just to be happy to be alive and well today
for the Grace of God
thank YOU
