life safarie #62

Good morning. It is a bit cooler this A.M.

I got the yard mowed before we get rain from the system off our coast - I'm a happy camper.
I just delight in my yard when It is freshly mowed

Today, I am Grateful and Thankful...
for prediction of some rain (finally)
I am prepared, in case of hurricanes this year
that, my drinking/drugging story is "just garden variety" but my recovery is miraculous
to be alive - so many aren't
that I am sober and clean and smoke-free today
I am happy the way in which I handled my anger yesterday - I did nothing, said nothing and looked for MY part in the affair
that the knowledge that I have a part in everything takes most of the lashing-out away
lesson I've tried to get down all my adulthood - It's not What I say, it's HOW I say it
nice, loving, calm, polite and respectful is the way in which I choose to conduct myself today
for advance notice that I am requested to stay late at work tonight
Precious and her loving company
my Sponsor and AA family
God's Grace in my life
thank YOU

life safari #18

Good morning.

I am Grateful ...

that although it is raining, we are not flooded as so many are
we are also not parched as many are
that this morning I am sober, clean and still smoke free - many are not
Amazon has an autobiography of Edit Piaf available - it will be arriving next month
although I must go into work early, it doesn't have to be before 11:00 am
for all this fresh fruit to eat
to be of good cheer this morning
the paintings of Scott Woodard - they are adorning my bedroom
for the particular job I have and this particular crew I work with
that I will get on the treadmill for at least 5 minutes when I get up from this chair
Ok, my socks and shoes are on, I'm doing it!
Thank YOU
