Happy Thanksgiving! An attitude of gratitude. |
|
I'm getting an early start on my gratitude list.
That is what Thanksgiving is all about.
I'm grateful for;
my Higher Power my sobriety my friends and family (includes the four legged members ;-) ) this great group here a roof over my head food in the cupboards
a car that runs ( knock on wood) and can take me to meetings a son who occasionally listens to his 'ole mom students who don't try to 'sink the sub'
This is just for starters. I'll add more ;-)
Happy clean and sober Thanksgiving to all my good friends,here. I love you guys!

my list:
I'm grateful I don't have to go to the supermarket for supplies to roast the Turkey for the Alano Club potluck
I'm grateful for the time off with my hubby
I'm grateful that I don't have to travel further than 6 miles on this holiday to be surrounded by people I care about
I'm grateful that the program of AA has given me all these gifts and so many more.....

4. I'm grateful I have good, sober friends |
|
Both in and out of the program. And that I'm spending the next few days with them.
And today I'm particularly grateful my mechanic stayed a few minutes overtime to get my heap in running order! Not having a car to get to meetings and get-togethers for the next four days would really stink.

That is great! What a great guy your mechanic is.
That reinforces my faith in humanity.
Happy Thanksgiving!

6. I am grateful today for my serenity |
|
And to be able to maintain my serenity by realizing that I cannot expect an insane (truly and clinically insane) person to behave in a sane manner.

cope with that person. Good for you, lady!
Here's a big :hug: cos I know you are homesick, too.
Hey, IKEA has a 'win a trip home for the holidays' contest on right now. It's another good reason to visit IKEA.
Hang in there, you've been through a hell of a lot, this past month and a half.
another :hug:
edit: But watch out Kitchy, IKEA got lutefisk in this week.
