Grateful that I got through another day, although I slept through most of it.
Grateful that I didn't have a lot of pain, although I wasn't very mobile.
Grateful that I was able to cook dinner, Oriental Rice (from a package), fresh waxed beans, and baby backed ribs, which I basted with ketchup, onion mustard, brown sugar, minced garlic, pepper and salt (couldn't thank past that).
Grateful I have been able to do some posting, a very short attention span and just slow moving. I didn't wake up until 4:28 p.m. and feel like it is time for bed. Not liking the feelings, so just turning them over to my God and asking for help and we will see what develops. Didn't even watch tennis and my book is over due.
Grateful for the rain that keeps all things grain. Once it is here, it releases the pain from my body.
Grateful that I can pray for the motivation to do what I need to do. I have some sorting to do, so when I get things caught up, I hope to get it done before bed time. Thought come, if I open my mind to them. That is what happens when you are grateful and when you pray.
Grateful for all those who walk this journey with me.

Grateful for a new day, have been sleeping my days away lately.
Grateful that I woke up at 2:30 p.m. instead of 4:30 p.m. today. :D
Grateful that tennis finally came on. I had the TV on mute because they had baseball on. If you see a time lapse in my posting, you will know I am watching tennis. ;)
Grateful I got to the mall, because it is suppose to rain today.
Grateful that I got some shopping done, and then did the laundry I haven't been able to do, 4 loads!
Grateful for a lot less of that sharp pain, just that old dull ache of arthritis which we learn to live with. Don't like the pain that gets in the way of my thinking and doing and doesn't go away when I tell it to.
Grateful for some glass I think, although I would like to think they are crystal with a spider engraved in the inside which means "within," an eagle which means "spirit" and a "bear" which means introspection, according to Jamie Sams. I will use these for my meditation tonight.
Grateful for all those who walk this journey with me.

Grateful for another day, met three good recovery friend today.
Grateful I didn't sleep all of my day away, even though I went to bed later than normal. One use to live where I did, he showed me his apartment so I could come to a decision as to whether I wanted to live there. Very active in recovery and always looked like Mr. Serene. I don't think he always was, but it was the message he portrayed. The other one was a member of my group and for the most part, showed me how to not work my program and carried a great message to me. The other lady has over 30 years in Al-Anon and we always identify although she doesn't like to think so because I am one of those other As. I was like her husband and she compares me to him.
Grateful that she listens when I share with her. I think I finally got the message across that I go to Al-Anon for me, not for or because of the As in my life.
Grateful for the program. It has given me a whole new look at life. It has opened up my eyes and I can see things, not only from my own point of view, but from all directions, and able to open my mind to other concepts.
Grateful for the yawns, heading for my bed and going to catch a few ZZZZZ and then wake up and post the readings.
Grateful that that when I went to Al-Anon, I was told that I was doubly blessed. I found friends in both fellowships. I could identify from both sides of the street. I learned to identify not compare. I learned not to judge, no one had walked in my shoes and I hadn't walked in theirs, yet we could walk this recovery road together. Grateful for all those who walk this journey with me.

Grateful for a new day.
Grateful for two busy days.
Not so grateful that I wasn't able to get all the posting done, which included my daily gratitude list. The body just isn't able to do everything I started on the site. It can't keep up to my thoughts. ;) As the saying goes, "The mind is willing, the flesh is weak."
I am grateful for the Traditions. The traditions help the groups yet I can use them to make a better way of life at home and in the community.
I am grateful for the Steps, which allow me to heal and make changes in my life.
I am grateful for the healing I have received in this program. It is very much a day at a time. What I need in today is given to me. It is important that I take the time for meditation to ask and pause to be open to receive. How can I receive if I am busy being occupied by other things.
I am grateful that my Higher Power saw fit to heal my sense of humour not remove it. LOL something I posted in 2007, still grateful!
Grateful that I have been able to sleep.
Grateful that I hurt all over, but not the extreme sharp pains that I use to get. These pains are manageable, and if I get myself into the right mind set of acceptance, and willingness to do, and find some motivation and get some intent to do some dishes, I might get some housework done.
Grateful for those who walk this journey with me.

Sorry, I need a change of attitude. Couldn't resist. This picture found me!

http://www.animated-gifs.eu/phone-24...birds/0022.gif

Grateful for another sunny day.
Not so grateful when I get behind in sharing my gratitude.
Grateful that my day was so busy that I didn't have time to do extra.
Not so grateful, because I don't look at sharing on the site as extra, it is part of my day.
Grateful for my treatment at the Holistic Center, I got an extra half hour. Tony touched some spots I didn't know I had. He found some spots I would rather not know I had. I would have been even gladder if he had not told me they were to do with my heart, so now I am thinking hardening of the arteries and the reason I need to talk to my pharmacist, who I haven't gotten down to talk to yet.
Grateful when each day unfolds in spite of me, and I am sure things will unfold for good.
Grateful that I can make a decision. Even more grateful that I can change my mind, and make another decision. I must remember that the timing isn't always mine.
Grateful for those who walk this road with me. Some may get ahead of me, but that is okay, I will catch up.
Grateful that we are sick people trying to get well, not bad people trying to get good!

http://angelwinks.net/images/lovepod/lovepod33.gif

Grateful for another day, one that disappeared AND one that slipped by.
Grateful for one that got slept away and I got some work done and some sleep caught up.
Grateful for a day that started with meeting with a friend that ended up connecting with three in person, one in person on the phone, and hopefully by nights end, to my two sisters.
Grateful that I got an invite to go to my nieces for Thanksgiving for a family get together.
Grateful that I had a good outing and hoping to get my posting done so I can go to bed early so I can watch darts and tennis at a.m.
Grateful for all who walk this journey with me.

Grateful that even though the pain has lessened, the fatigue had kept me from being on the computer.
Grateful that the sun came out today.
Grateful that I was able to sit back and chill and finish my book.
Grateful that meditation showed that I need to spend some me time with my God and look at what I need to do with my life at the moment.
Grateful that I got a couple of calls and were able to connect with friends.
Grateful for the blessings that each day brings.

Grateful for all of you who share this journey with me.

Grateful for a new day, even though the sun is not there.
Grateful that I got through a couple of difficult days.
Grateful that my God made Himself known in a big way. It was like fireworks went off.
Grateful that even though the pain thresh hold hit 10 twice during the day.
Grateful that I had the appointment with the Holistic Center and with my doctor yesterday.
Grateful that my doctor was in agreement with me, even if he didn't send the fax to the pharmacy to discontinue the medication. I phoned today, the receptionist says there is no notice on my file so I am trying practice acceptance, patience and tolerance too.
Grateful that even though I do not like chick peas, and don't like the looks of Humus, and even though they are mixed with sweet potatoes and caramelized onions, and looked like baby food and other things, they don't taste too bad, I can get them down, it is good for me and I think it give me protein.
Grateful for that I got to talk to my friend S again last night. We are both very good mirrors for each others.
Grateful that I didn't wake up with a head ache.
Grateful that I don't have a big pain just a dull ache. ;)
Grateful that laundry may be an option, seeing as it is raining and going out isn't.
Grateful for you who walk this journey with me.

Love this picture. It has been a long time favourite. It reminds me that things don't have to be bright and colourful to be beautiful. It has a beauty all of it's own. Even the plant that has gone to seed and everything has a purpose.

Grateful for another day. More than grateful for another day.
Grateful that I even though I was totally succumbed by fear when my heart just went wiled and I could hear and feel it patter, that I was able to calm and go through the motion and do some do things, most of all pray and ask for help.
Grateful that I went looking for answer, thought it was my blood pressure but found out it was my pulse instead, and just had to be quiet and let go and realize it was a combination of a lot of things. There was no way I was going to go to the hospital, unless it was necessary. I didn't discount it as an option, but it was a last resort.
Grateful that I got the clarity of of mind that I asked for and took my inhalers. Called the Holistic Center and although the people I deal with were not available, I was put in charge with someone else, because I wanted to check on the natural medication that had been suggested by them, which would calm my body. I called my friend S. and connected with her and realized, she was not in a good place and said a prayer for her.
Grateful I was able to get some sleep.
Grateful my son stayed with me although I would have liked him to have had him wake me up to check my blood pressure before 7 p.m., he thought the sleep was good for me, and as they say, things are meant to be.
Grateful that my son took my library books back to the library.
Grateful for the healing power of my God.
Grateful for those who walk this journey with me.

Grateful for another day well spent.
Grateful that I don't feel like I am running a race trying to play catch up, just jogging along.
Grateful that I finished two books. I have one more book to go. It is more of the mush and slush variety. It is one my friend booked out on my card, so it is more her taste than mine. A historical romance, which I haven't read for a while, so will make a change.
Grateful that I had leftovers for dinner. A different form of Shepherd's Pie (hamburger browned with onions, seasoning, with potato gravy used with mushroom gravy mix to make gravy. Carrot partially cooked, then potatoes added, drained except for part used for gravy, mashed, seasoned with parsley flakes, salt and pepper with a little butter and milk) and burger mixture in lightly greased casserole, topped with carrot and potato mixture. Just heated and finished cooking in oven at 350 deg. F oven. Peas can be added or anything else that tickles your fancy.
Grateful to be feeling better.
Grateful to hear from my friend Theresa. She called me and she picked up the phone and informed me she was sitting drinking Pepsi. She just got word that her long time friend Cindy of 15 years passed away. Please say prayers for her.
Grateful that my son stopped by and brought me a new coffee table. He is working for a Realtor who was holding an open house today. Makes me feel very blessed.
Grateful for my healing meditation today. Used three angel decks today. The words that stuck in my mind were "Pray" and "Believe."
Grateful for all those who travel this journey with me.

http://www.animated-gifs.eu/mammals-elephants/0230.gif

Grateful for another day, and another day, and another day.
Grateful for so much, every time I went to post, I didn't know where to begin and where to start.
Grateful for the new awareness in my life.
Grateful for the people in my life.
Grateful for the new lessons learned, so hard, some I could have done without, but were very much needed, whether I liked it or not.
Grateful my God made some room for me in my life, even though I didn't want to let go, for example, the site closing which will free up some of my computer time. As you all know, I do like my pictures.
Grateful for the power of prayer.
Grateful that I got to go to the Holistic Center today.
Grateful that I got to meeting up with my friend and have a long conflab with my friend. Believe me, between the two of us, it is a conflab! After spending 5 hours together, we talked to each other on the phone and I had to tell her I had to go and hang up on her.
Grateful for my Chinese Food even though it always speaks to me and says, "More" when can I go and have some more!
Grateful that my fortune cookie said, "That wherever you go, you are a star!" roflmao!

Grateful that the list could go on and on, just know that today is a new day, and as long as I remain grateful, I will stay clean and sober in today.
Grateful for those who walk this journey with me.

This is from an old site, don't think it exists any more. Thank God this is a one day at a time program.

You are all so udderly wonderful! Sorry couldn't resist!

Grateful for another day, especially grateful for today. The sun is shining.
Guilty of not being too grateful for three days of cold rainy days.
Grateful for the rainy days though, they kept me in and I caught up on laundry. ;)
Grateful that my feet haven't been swelling and haven't had to pain that I have had in the past. Coming off the medication that the doctor put me on was a good decision.
Grateful that 24 hours can start any time. Today I put the clock back at 6:30 a.m. so I wouldn't feel so bad about finishing my book before going to sleep.
Grateful that I slept through the snow flurries yesterday, not ready to face snow yet.
Grateful that I made the decision to go downtown and enjoy the sunshine today. I just closed down the computer, got dressed and went.
Grateful that I book I ordered had come in and I was able to wait for the library to open up at 1 p.m. to pick it up.
Grateful that an AA member was in the mall so I could sit and have a visit with him and drink my tea.
Grateful I was able to pick up a few groceries plus a few treats.

https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/i...-TNTVo-esMLbMX

Grateful for another day, even if the sun disappeared. ;)
Grateful that I am feeling better, even if I am not feeling my best.
Grateful that I am grateful I am grateful, not sure that makes sense, but those are the words that come to mind. Without the gratitude, I just might not be able to get up and face each day with a loving heart and a caring attitude. I don't ever want to go back to that space ever again.
Grateful that I have pork chops to cook for dinner. Not so grateful that I have to cook them, trying to think of a new way to cook them, so praying for inspiration. Grateful that in today that in an option.
Grateful that each day is filled with a blessing if I am open to receive.
Grateful I received a phone call from my sister. She is hoping to finally get the IV removed from all the problems with her bone infection which has been on going for almost a year. Gives you a lot to be grateful for.
Grateful that I didn't let my issues go until I have no other option left but go to a doctor. For so many years, my sister put herself last, as as a result, she has many health issues. She had no time for herself.
Grateful for the lessons of the program and how it teaches me, if I don't have me, my loved ones don't have me either.
Grateful for all of you who walk this journey with me.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/lovepod/lovepod59.gif

Grateful for another day, especially for the sunshine.

Grateful for another day.
Grateful that I got some posting done.
Grateful that I don't have to post in every section every day and keep every section up to date, although I do try.
Grateful even though I don't always show it or say it, I am very much grateful for this site and for my second chance at life.
Grateful I don't have to cook dinner, even though it is Sunday dinner, leftovers are just fine! ;) We all know what F.I.N.E. means! (frustrated, insecure, neurotic, and emotional). Shouldn't feel that way, I cooked it! No one to blame but myself, sitting here trying to think of what I can do to add the Jo touch to it or should I just have a chicken sandwich. Grateful that I have an option.
Grateful that I got to watch tennis. Not so grateful that our Canadian player (Milos Raonic lost) to Roger Federer.
Grateful that more Davis Cup tennis is on tonight.
Grateful that the Lynsay Sands book I got is a page turner. She is a new author to me and the second historical romance in two weeks. Maybe I am sick, or I just need a break from all the who done its I have been reading.
Grateful that each day is a new beginning and unfolds as it should, not always as I would have them be or as I think they should, yet at the end of the day, quite often they are surprising, comforting, and surprising.
Grateful for a call from my friend S. last night, I was thinking of her and she beat me to the phone.
Grateful for all of you, without you, there is no me.

https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/i...oR9bG9uQ70EnV8

Grateful for a new day, although I am not sure that yesterday has ended. ;)
Grateful that a day can start any time, which means it can end any time too. I have tried to end mine and go to sleep but so far it hasn't happened, so I am still in Monday with a foot in Tuesday.
Grateful for all those who serve this country and for those who have served in the past.
Grateful for a good day yesterday, my feet still want to keep on walking.
Grateful that I found the $40. that I thought I had lost. I kept telling myself it had to be home somewhere and not to panic. I told myself, "You will get by, you always do, even if it is lost. Don't give up, give over." I thought I had put the money in the inside pocket of my coat, only to find it in the pocket of my hoodie that I had worn the day before when I had gone to the pharmacy. So grateful, I didn't lose it, it was not a safe place to put it. Another lesson learned, with my memory getting so bad, I need to be more careful as to where I put things.
Grateful that Dancing with the Stars was on, it always lifts my spirits. I saw some of The Voice but will watch it tomorrow, or catch the rerun next Sunday.
Grateful for the meditation I did tonight, it reaffirmed again, as much as we like to think that it is about others, it is about us and our reaction to their energy and words, and how we allow them to affect us.
Grateful for all of you who share this journey with me.

http://www.animated-gifs.eu/phone-24...bears/0208.gif

Grateful for today and catching up some old posts.
Grateful that I was inside and didn't have to go outside as it is getting close to the freezing point.
Grateful that The Voice result show is on and I get to see what I missed last night.
Grateful that I don't have a lot of pain today.
Grateful that my son came by and is cooking dinner (baked potato with cheese plus steak and onions).
Grateful that my head ache has eased, hoping to get some reading done later.
Grateful for old posts that I can go back to and get some fuel for my soul. I always seem to be led to where I need to go, no matter what section I look in.
Grateful for all who walk this journey with me.

http://www.animated-gifs.eu/mammals-...isure/0041.gif

Grateful for another day even though some of the flurries stuck to the ground.
Grateful that the sun is trying to shine even though it isn't doing a very good job.
Grateful that it is Saturday. Not so grateful that Housing is shutting the water off in our building for 9 hours.
Grateful that I found the slow cooker recipe yesterday, I can put dinner in and forget it no matter what the day brings. I will have to do the JoAnne thing to it because I don't have their ingredients, but that is okay, the principles are the same.
Grateful that I got more of my book read, hoping to finish it today.
Grateful for the lessons learned, it was my fault I lost the key. I forgot them in my mailbox. I can get angry with the lady for not turning them in, and be grateful to Housing for not charging me for the chaos, yet it all began with me.
Grateful that each day is a lesson. Learned another one this morning. Unplug the heating pad and you won't trip over the cord when you wake up, and it won't jar the table your glass is sitting on, which won't knock over your glass, and it won't roll on the floor and break. ;)
Grateful for the tennis that has been on.
Grateful that the sun came out as I typed this even though it is only 32 deg. F.
Grateful for all of you who walk this journey with me.

http://www.animated-gifs.eu/phone-24...bears/0066.gif

Grateful for a new day.
Grateful I got the readings posted.
Grateful my health held up was getting a tightening in the chest and the feet haven't wanted me to sit at the computer, but just coundn't close the day without making an attempt. Wasn't able to make a few posts, but that is okay.
Grateful that I can accept things as they are in today. Even more grateful that I don't have to like it in order to accept it. Especially all this snow that has been coming down for two days, too bad they don't have snow tires for my walker.
Grateful that between my inhalers and my Vicks Vapour Rub I have have a cold but have warded off bronchitis. (Touching wood)
Grateful my son took my library books back and got some groceries for me.
Grateful I found these new mouse images. ;)
Grateful for those who walk this journey with me.

http://www.picgifs.com/graphics/m/mi...ice-044004.gif

Gratitude for another day. A day that started late and one I restarted by going back to bed to feel good and get the energy to do what I needed to do.
Grateful that I got my laundry done.
Grateful that I got some posting done.
Grateful that my son was here to share the chocolate pudding with so I didn't find it necessary to eat the whole thing.
Grateful that I had the thought tonight, that I got out in the country to my sister's last weekend and saw the fall colours before they all disappeared and the snow came.
Grateful that the snow has stopped for the moment. I do like that white stuff when it covers up the gray of the city and all the slush and stuff and makes everything look nice. Nice to look at, but not so nice to get around in.
Grateful that I don't have to shovel it. Have problems pushing my walker through it.
Grateful that curling is on. Now I am good for the whole weekend.
Grateful that my book is almost finished, should have it done in time by bedtime.
Grateful for all of you who walk this journey with me.

http://www.picgifs.com/graphics/m/mi...ice-876861.gif

Grateful for a new day.
Grateful that my computer seems to be working at the moment.
Grateful that today is a new beginning.
Grateful that it isn't going to cost me anything to get my computer fixed, the adapter cord is free. I just have to pick it up. My bus fare is free because of my walker, so I have lots to be grateful for.
Grateful that the sun is suppose to make an appearance tomorrow. Hopefully the wind will die down and I will be able to get out and about. I have only been out one day in ten days. I will be grateful to be mobile again, having problems again with swollen feet.
Grateful that my son came and did my floors, moved my refrigerator and stove and did a good clean.
Grateful for this program. Grateful for the awareness and the reality it brings to my life and even though I would like to hide under a blanket of denial or crawl under the bed covers and not face the world, I know that my God has a purpose for my life. I pray each day that He guides me and that I have the strength, courage, and the wisdom to follow.
Grateful for those who walk this journey with me.

http://www.animated-gifs.eu/mammals-...tures/0285.gif

Grateful for another day.
Grateful that although Google isn't performing up to par, I can go back to Internet Explorer. It is familiar and I know it's quirks. ;)
Grateful that my son helped me shop, even though I always spend more when he does. For some reason, he sees my needs so much better than I do. :D
Grateful that I went into the library and returned a book and didn't take one out. I did go by the express shelf though and took a peek, I must confess. Thankfully, nothing spoke to me.
Grateful that I made it to the Al-Anon meeting. I had full intentions of going for coffee afterward for the meeting after the meeting but for some reason, I found myself calling my son and asking him to meet me to go shopping an our earlier than planned. It is good, I just would have cancelled after going to the chiropractor's and getting the adjustment, sitting through the meeting and by then, the body wouldn't have wanted to get up and go again. Going to the meeting energized me. What a difference a meeting makes.
Grateful I got my Freshly Squeezed Fruit Juice today. I saved it and am drinking it now as I am posting.
Grateful that there are three hours of nature shows on, so I can sit back, enjoy, and let the body do it's survival thing after being on the go. Doing the go, go, crash and burn things is not good.
Grateful I can take a break and come back to do more, just hurting too much to do more at the moment. As I shared with a friend at the meeting today, acceptance is still the key.
Grateful for those who walk this journey with me in today.

Grateful for another day.
Grateful that there wasn't much on TV tonight that I wanted to watch and I was able to catch up on some posts on another site.
Grateful that I had a very restful and healing sleep this afternoon, thanks to the treatment at the Holistic Center yesterday.
Grateful for TV dinners.
Grateful I have no need to go out as it says rain, freezing rain and ice pellets on the TV screen when I checked the weather just now. It is -5 deg. C which is 23 deg. F and seems colder with wind chill.
Grateful that Internet Explorer 7 seems to be working if I remember to delete the cookies and not let them pile up. Still finding my way around the formatting.
Grateful that I can go back to old posts and find new blessings and share with new friends.

Grateful for all those who walk this journey with me.

http://www.animated-gifs.eu/mammals-mice/0159.gif

Grateful for a new day. Not so grateful that I am not sleeping. :(
Grateful that I got some sleep in my chair earlier.
Grateful that my pain has eased since I came on line to post.
Grateful that it is true, that when you get out of self, the pain eases. I did my laundry and my sons (he did some errands for me), and my body protested.
Grateful that my God speaks through His Word and that of others when we are prepared to listen. Sometimes we turn things around to make them into what we want to hear or make them into words we consider false and negative and not good for us to hear, yet the truth comes out in the end. I am a firm believer that things are not all negative or all positive. It is about me getting honest with me.
Grateful for a call from my sister today. She called me yesterday to say she had gotten 5 bags of clothes from a sister of a friend of hers. She called to say she had 4 coats for me to try on. Not sure they will fit as she is shorter than me, but very grateful and always open and willing to receive. They will be new to me.
Grateful that Housing is suppose to be coming I the morning. I hope it is early morning, not late morning, even though I have yet to find some sleep. That way I can always come home and sleep this afternoon. ;) Not so grateful that they are shutting the water off again from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Grateful that my computer is holding out and pray that I will be able to connect with John at noon on Tuesday.
Not so grateful that the Hamilton Ti-Cat Football team lost the Gray Cup.
Grateful for all those who walk this journey with me.

http://angelwinks.ca/images/kidpod/kidpod1112.jpg

Grateful for another day. Not so grateful when I see that I have missed a day, because I know there is always something to be grateful no matter what goes down in a day. When I don't post here it is because I have allowed time to get in the way and that is not good.
Grateful that the holiday specials have started. I especially like the ones on the Food Network even if they make me hungry and a lot of the things I can't have or wouldn't eat if they gave them to me.
Grateful for the music specials, those are special to me. Love my music.
Grateful that my son made the potato salad that he promised. I wasn't feeling good yesterday and laid down and slept for 3 hours. I never heard a thing. :(

Grateful that I got to talk to both my sisters, not something that happens very often.
Grateful that it was a Serenity Prayer Day, things just unfolded as it should. The kind where you didn't have to wait for buses. The bus driver was courteous and lowered the ramp and allowed me to wheel my walker on the bus without having to lift it on with my groceries, things that I wanted for Christmas dinner on sale, things I hadn't thought of coming to mind or just there, giving me a 'god' moment, for which you just have to say a big thank you for. i.e. Had no thought of buying ice cream, my favourite and my son's favourite, both on sale for $3.99 each on sale.
Grateful that I got some sorting done, have been wanting to rearrange a dresser in my bedroom for some time and finally got it done tonight because there was nothing on TV that I wanted to watch. I could work and just listen to my music.

Grateful that I don't have to go outside to get to the Internet Cafe. There is a connecting door between the mall and my senior complex.
