Grace is a wonderful quality of the Spirit. When it is manifested in our lives, it brings the energy that uplifts our vibrations and clears the inner barriers.

To be in a state of grace is to put into practice the certainty that if we knock the door will be opened, and if we ask it will he be given unto us.

[schell81208]

Loved reading through your gratitudes Jo....took me a bit to get signed back on here....but with help here I am.....your gratitudes helped me to recognize those things I may be missing in this journey of recovery....not a day passes by ...today I live in happy memories....living in the past is not recovery it is getting stuck in a place I can't change....I can only live in today, and in today I find the gift...now Off to create my own gratitude page! Wish me luck, Peace, Schell

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for another day of sobriety.
Grateful that a day can start any time, I feel like going back to bed, but don't want to miss tennis.
Grateful that just because I am in pain, I don't have to abuse my medication. I met a guy in the mall the other day. He said, "Jo I am like you, in chronic pain 24/7." He then proceeded to tell me the narcotics he was and proceeded to tell me how he was generally high in the sky. He made me very grateful that I haven't gone there. The body manufactures the pain to say you need more. I want to live my life, be aware and live in the moment. I can't do that, because drugs and alcohol take my life away.
Grateful that I seem to have a virus and the flu on top of the arthritic pain, just means a closer walk with my God.
Grateful that just for today, I choose not to use.
Grateful to all of you who share this journey with me.

Hi Jo, I finally got my gratitude page going...Just want to say how grateful I am that you are a big part of my sobriety...thank you for the reminder that you gave with that story about the guy you ran into at the mall...was thinking in the past how my diseased mind would go right away to "hey what do you have on you"? etc, I liked what you said about your thoughts and gratitude for another day sober,,.I have always loved but for the grace of god go I." It has always said so much to me in such a simple way...hits home every time. Peace to you, Schell

[MajestyJo]

Grateful for each new day.
Grateful that the word is an action word, and I am now able to come on line and share with everyone.
Grateful that this morning was mostly pain free, and even though things are catching up with me, I am grateful that I can listen to my body and say "No" we need to take a break.
Grateful that I have a mall downstairs and I don't have to go outside to get to it. We have a door that connects us to it, because it is cloudy and looks like we are going to get more rain.
Grateful that I got to watch the CMA Awards on Wednesday, one of the best shows I have seen in a long time and so glad I could sit and enjoy it.
Grateful that I am having a head start on the holiday season and can listen to smooth jazz versions of Christmas Music.

When you see them, always remember to say, "Thank you."

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 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 all the personal connections I made on my little trip.
Grateful that I saw a gentleman who use to call me the Stone Lady. When he saw me at a meeting, he would come up to me and say, "Not doing so good, do you have a stone?" Today he looked clean and sober, so gave him a piece of polished Jasper I had in my purpose. I went to him and asked him if he wanted it, for all the times he came to me.
Red Jasper also known as the Supreme Nurturer is the stone of the earth. Red Jasper is one of the oldest known gemstones that had been used for thousands of years. It has been highly regarded in ancient Egypt, Babylon and was worn by the pharaohs kings and priests. It was mentioned in the bible as the gift of God, also as one of the stones in the breastplate of Aaron. The Native Americans revered Red Jasper and considered it the ultimate grounding and healing stone. Red Jasper is a powerful healing Earth stone known for replenishing energy, giving courage and confidence for those that wear it. It works very well when it is on your body, so by wearing it as a jewelry or simply placing the stone on your root chakra is very beneficial. Meditating with Red Jasper can bring insights and answers.

Grateful for another day.
Grateful I was able to nap after my trip downtown.
Grateful to connect with recovery people on my journey.
Grateful that my computer is back up and running, and I have my call display back on my phone.
Grateful that I have access to my directory so I can phone people and see who is calling.
Grateful that my son cooked dinner.
Grateful for all the tennis and curling, without them, there was nothing on that I wanted to watch.
Grateful for the break so I could catch up on some reading.
Grateful for the three meditations I did, and extra grateful for my God, who tells me what I need, even if I don`t like it. I used Osho cards tonight. Many times when I use my animal cards, I won`t like the message, will reshuffle, and get the same cards again. Other times, the last card I got, is the first card on the next query. I had some prayer cards and gave them away to Tony at the Holistic Center, along with some Celtic cards that were circular. My angel cards always seem to give a message that I can`t deny. I don`t use them so much any more, because when I first got them, they were for grounding me, emptying my head, new awareness and clarity, and now I don`t need them to connect with my God, I don`t use them for answers, I go for guidance as to what I need too change and for my personal inventory.
Grateful for all of you and thank you for sharing this journey with me. We may have used different substances or a combination of different drugs, but we have on purpose, to stay clean and sober in today.
Grateful for the power of Creation, how can you deny that there is a God.

Grateful for another day.
Grateful I got some sleep, even if my days and nights are turned around.
Grateful that I am finished and can call it a night. Since my TV server is down and I can't watch my tennis, I can get into my book if I can't sleep. :)
Grateful that I ate all my dinner, hasn't been happening lately.
Grateful for the many blessing of the day.
Grateful I had the courage to cut or perhaps I should say hack my son's hair off. He hasn't been able to go to my sister's to have it done and couldn't stand it any longer. He has natural curly hair so it is not easy, especially when you use meat shears. My scissors were too dull and couldn't be sharpened.
Grateful for all of you who share this journey with me.
God Bless.

Grateful for the following quote:

“The chief beauty about time
is that you cannot waste it in advance.
The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you,
as perfect, as unspoiled,
as if you had never wasted or misapplied
a single moment in all your life.
You can turn over a new leaf every hour
if you choose.”
― Arnold Bennett

Grateful that I found some old pictures yesterday that I thought I had lost.
Grateful that it has quit snowing, although it is -17 deg. C at the moment, which is about -2 deg. F. It seems so much colder when you look at the Celsius numbers, they make me feel cold. A good example, that it is our thinking which affects our sense of being. If you think cold, you will be, more often than not.

Grateful for the trilogy of books I have to read. The last book I had I just couldn't get into it, and gave it up as a lost cause when it took me about 3 days to get 1/3rd of the way through it and was none the wiser or eager to get to the end.

Today I am grateful for recovery and a wonderful meditation this morning...carrying me into the day with real peace of mind , soul and body

I am grateful to have spoken to someone from here in recovery, about recovery and about how life goes on and in today we are really living ...I am here today, alive and sober...

I am grateful that eventhough there has been non stop cold and lots of snow...there are moments I can say the snow is beautiful, I have a coat to wear, a hat and gloves, I have a warm house and cozy blankets...many who are struggling as I did to walk into recovery...have lost most or all...not being there today is only another gift of this program,

Peace, Schell

Grateful for some down time after all my busy days.
Grateful that I can come here and share. Some times it is before I go to bed and other times, like today, this is my morning.
Grateful that I listened to my body yesterday, when it said sleep, I listened.
Grateful that each time I woke up I could experience no pain. That doesn't mean it took long to come back, but for a few precious moments, I was free.
Grateful that even though I didn't feel hungry, I ate. Not sure it was all that healthy, because I had roast beef on a bun and plain potato chips with onion chip dip at 8 p.m.
Grateful for a new day, nothing planned, but am open to what my God brings to me during the day.
Grateful for all of you for sharing this journey with me.
