What a pretty morning in H-Town !
Today, I am Grateful and Thankful..
for the realization that I seek approval, happiness, answers, sense of self, many things, OUTSIDE OF MYSELF
I am not happy with this realization. However, I have had this going on for years. At least now, I am AWARE OF WHAT I'M DOING !
That, now I can do the work to change (above) YES!!!!!
to be willing to cut back on expenses - gas prices are steadily going up again
that I finally got the italics button OFF
Precious and her wonderful cat being
Dave's gift of the CAT LOVE LETTERS - what a joyful little read that was. Thanks Dave
the Grace I receive which I will never deserve
tests and results which can propel me to change my life-style
thank YOU

life safari - Feb. 1st
What a nice day. It is more to my liking (weather-wiz).
Tomorrow, I will be 59 (around 7:23 P.M.).
When my father came home from work on Feb. 2nd, my mother told him "Charley, it's time. Get me to the hospital." Dad was a welder at the time and he asked her if he could shower first. Mother told him "No !"
Dad went off to eat in the hospital cafeteria, and I was born ! I weighed 6 lbs. 9 1/2 ounces. I had a head of black hair and black eyes and I was Not happy !
Today, I am Grateful and Thankful...
a computer that is working correctly now. Didn't have to spend money on a new one
that I am thoroughly enjoying my relationships with Jill and Chick after I lost touch with them for a time. I thank them for their participation in reviving our friendships
to be sober and clean
for the joy of a friend picking me up and taking me to town - what a nice change ! Thank you Mary
for Precious and her loving, nurturing cat Spirit
for the house being clean today. Thank you Philip
for life itself - when I gripe about what is going on that I do not like, I am quick to think of things to be grateful for
AA and my "Gratitude List" friends and family. You all keep me sane and coming back. Thanks!
for the wonders of nature that I enjoy connecting with daily
for the fact that I was spared watching my parents age to the point that they were not able to care for themselves. My friend (the woman I love) is struggling with this issue with both parents
that I can be here (over the phone at least) for her and listen and express compassion
for God's Grace
that my side is not hurting as badly today. I could get up out of bed without as much effort or pain
that I am hopeful that as I finish the medication, my problem will disappear
Thank YOU
