Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else. -unknown
Today I am grateful...
- that I am willing to continue to write daily gratitude lists
- that gratitude lists keep me centered and confirm why I am on this path
- for willingness and patience when I most need them
- that yesterday I was able to spend time with an ex-boss/friend
- that a huge, long standing resentment with that ex-boss/friend vanished soon after I got sober
- to be able to remind myself of what keeps my relationship with my Higher Power alive and current
Cultivate gratitude: gratitude that so much good can be mine for so small a price; gratitude that I can trade away just one drink for all the happiness sobriety gives me; gratitude that A.A. exists and that I found out about it in time; gratitude that I am only the victim of a disease called alcoholism, that I am not a degenerate, a moral weakling, the self-elected victim of a vice or a person of doubtful sanity; gratitude that because others have done it, I can in time bring it to pass that I won't want or miss the one drink I am doing without. -AA Grapevine, Jan. 1948.

I love that you write gratitude lists daily also. Sometimes I take them on as my own. I find that gratitude is contagious....and lots of times....I need to catch it!
I am grateful for your lists
I am grateful that others are here to lead the way for newcomers like myself. Your strength guides us thru the new path we now walk.

I, too, am grateful for your lists. And, as Pam wrote, it is contagious
Is that a photo of you at your hotel?

You can call me Kristin!
So true, gratitude does keep me centered as well. At times it can be so easy to forget how much beauty is in my life, as long as I know what I am grateful for everyday I cannot forget that.
I did not think too much about making gratitude list until I kept reading yours and a few others. Then my sponsor suggested it and it is a blessing. I am not as deligent as you are, but am very grateful for you leading the way.
