Gratitude

Blessings and miracles are all around us. Sometimes however, we need to pause and reflect as we may have become so involved in day to day life we've forgotten how important gratitude is. With that said, I'd like to express some gratitude in my life:

1. Thank you God for sobriety. Without you I am nothing.

2. Thank you for my son who is sensitive, smart, healthy, and caring.

3. Thank you for my family-they are my rock.

4. Thank you for love-particularly that which is unexpected.

5. Thank you for spiritual awakening and conscious contact with my higher power. 

6. Thank you for forgiveness and new beginnings.

7. Thank you for sponsorship and old timers.

8. Thank you for my love of books-they are my paperback friends.

9. Thank you for peace of mind.

10. Thank you for being able to meet basic needs.

12. Thank you for my ability to write-it is my creative outlet.

13. Thank you for my friends and their support. 

14. Thank you for my pets-sometimes they provide comfort when nothing else works.

15. Thank you for for physical, mental, and emotional health and wellbeing.

16. Thank you for my job which I love. 

17. Thank you for bringing people into my life when it's least expected.

18. Thank you for connectivity-it is rare and cherished.

19. Thank you for the beauty all around us if we only stop and look around.

20. Thank you for the strength to walk away from situations which are toxic and unhealthy.

My list could go on and on but just for today these are things I cherish.
