IF THE ONLY PRAYER YOU SAID IN YOUR LIFE WAS "THANK YOU", THAT WOULD SUFFICE. ~Meister Eckhart

Today I am grateful...
  • to not fester resentments like I used to
  • for proof that most people will smile at you if you smile at them first
  • for the walk around the hospital wing with Randall and his physical therapist
  • that my Higher Power understands
  • for the 12th step that brought me back into the program
  • that I don't have to experience that dreaded feeling before school resumed after summer vacation
  • that for some reason, being a non-smoker I need less sleep

I admire your list. And it is true, not smoking does give us more energy. When I first quit, being the addictive personality I am, I replaced it by something else: daily exercise. Eleven years later, I am still walking every day.

Congratulations. You work such a great program, Scott!

Everything about life is better when smoking is not involved. And your gratitude lists are great; the smiling thing is the hardest one for me, but I'm working on it. Thanks again.
