I am so grateful I have access to this site. I work away in the mines and I feel so comforted that I can come here and fell the energy of recovering people. Thanks to God that he makes my world so different from the world I left behind when I put down the bottle. Thank you to the gift of being teachable and forever searching in my progress. My love goes out to all community using this site.

Grateful for another day, although I lost a little serenity and was sober more so than having sobriety. I got really upset when my son and I had a war of words.
Grateful that my pain woke me up so I could post on time.
Grateful, I think, that I woke up to a mixture of snow and rain. I expected it, just hoped it would stay away another day because I have to see the eye specialist and my chiropractor today.
Grateful that I got my shopping done. My pain was in my feet from all the walking around I did.
Grateful for the gifts of sobriety.
Grateful that I don't have to go back to that old way of living and thinking.
Grateful for all of you who share this journey with me.
Grateful that this is a one day at a time program. Some days, that is all I am capable of dealing with. Tomorrow hasn't gotten here yet, and today is just starting, so will turn the day over to my Higher Power and see what unfolds.
Grateful that it is one step at a time.

Grateful for another day even though I woke up to more rain and fog. Couldn't even see three block, total white, thought it was snow.
Grateful that I got my laundry all done.
Grateful for that feeling of comfy and cozy, when you slip into clean sheets and you rest your head on your pillow. I bought new ones, they are purple, turquoise and white, it was a wonder they didn't keep me awake, thankfully I slept like a log.
Grateful for the food I have and the ability to eat. Today's breakfast: a sweet roll, apricot and honey cream cheese, and a strawberry and banana yogourt, topped with strawberry and banana flavoured water and some cranberry juice.
Grateful that I can spoil myself and give myself a treat.
Grateful I got to read my book, hope to finish it today. Not much on TV that I like, although I haven't checked tonight's schedule.
Grateful for music, it soothes my soul.
Grateful it is one day at a time. Just for today, I choose not to use.
Grateful for a program that allows me to stay clean and sober, and just for today, I don't have to pick up. I don't have to go there in thought, word, or deed.
Grateful for all of you who share this journey with me.

You are reading from the book Today's Gift

We have no right to ask, when sorrow comes, Why did this happen to me? Unless we ask the same question for every joy that comes our way.
—Philip S. Bernstein

All of us have reasons to be grateful. Usually, the word implies we have received something. We often think of gratitude as that warm feeling we get from someone else's generosity. We are particularly grateful when we get unexpected gifts from those who owe us nothing. Within a family, we expect such acts of love because we are close to one another.

But gratitude doesn't always come from being a receiver. Gratitude is warmest when it accompanies the joy of being able to give without expecting anything in return. We find it isn't enough to feel grateful. We have to express our gratitude by showing kindness and service to everyone around us.

Gratitude is the greatest of all heart-openers. When it enters the heart, love pours out. For every kindness we receive, gratitude inspires a hundred acts of giving.

How can I show my gratitude today?
I gave thanks this morning for sleeping through the night.
I am thankful for this program that helps me to live life on life's terms.
I am grateful for the food I have to eat. Grateful that I have ham with an apricot glaze, dutch potatoes (carrots, potatoes, and cheese, with milk and butter added), and if I find the energy and direction, an apple crisp.
I am grateful for the gifts received. Especially those that are given from my God, they are priceless.
Grateful for another day of sobriety.

Grateful for another day. I think Boxing Day should be Gratitude day.
Grateful to be with family, there were 10 of us.
Grateful that I got to eat and didn't have to cook it.
Grateful that I got to bring some red and green cherry bread home from my sisters. She made it, so it was very tasty.
Grateful that I could say no to the raspberry pie and had a small piece of pumpkin with whipped cream.
Grateful for the blessing bestowed, and because of the day, we get blessing all year round. It is the celebration of birth, for me, new birth, that gives me the freedom of recovery.
Grateful for all of you who share this journey with me.

Grateful for the food we have because so many go without.
Grateful for the ability to laugh at myself and life. My God has a sense of humor. Many times I find myself saying, "Weren't WE here once before.

Grateful for the reason for the season and that it is one day at a time, not just one day.
Grateful for all of you who walk this journey with me.

Grateful for another day.
Grateful my son walked me to my appointment, came to pick me up and walk me to the mall, and walked me home.
Grateful I had him with me as it was cold and very slippery in spots, too much snow for my walker, so had to walk with my cane.
Grateful for my treatment at the Holistic Center. Today I got treatment from the guru, well that is how I see Bill. He told my son when we left that I was good for 20 miles, but if he raced me, I was only good for 5. ;)
Grateful that I went today instead of waiting for the snow to stop. We are suppose to get 30 cm. with wind chill factor of -18 C which is -28 deg. F.
Grateful that tennis is on tonight.
Grateful for all who walk this journey with me.

Grateful for another day and the beginning of another one.
Grateful that I was able to have a good sleep, go back to bed because pain creeped in, and woke up with no pain again.
Grateful that my son is here and going to wash my floors.
Grateful that I am motivated to go do my laundry. I will do his too.
Grateful even though the sun didn't appear and snow is starting to fall. I love snow. Not too much love for the people who don't shovel and clean the sidewalks. Acceptance is the key. They are what and who they are and I am powerless to change.
Grateful that I can ask for help.
Grateful for all of you. Thanks for being on this journey with me.
Grateful for my computer. It allows me to share with you each day.
