Who does not thank for little will not thank for much. ~Estonian proverb
Today I am grateful...
- that yesterday was spent recouping my energy from the past three days of work. I am still having to move gently to keep my equilibrium happy, but it's getting better a day at a time.
- that I truly try to watch my self-centerdness and my tendency to act like a spoiled child, but sometimes they both slip out--step 10 anyone?
- for my meeting yesterday with my sponsor. Just sitting with him and chatting about life gives me great comfort.
- that I do not need to take anti-depressants. I took them during the height of my drinking, which is pretty funny, fighting a depressant with an anti-depressant. All they did is fuck up my metabolism.
- that I have this day and the freedom to do with it as I choose
Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return. ~Mary Jean Iron

Scott, thank you so much. I always love reading your blog, for the quotes, proverbs, and sayings you post.
You are always thankful. You remind me of an old timer here that said "I can never be grateful enough." You have a grateful heart and it shows.
Love,
Kimberly
Ah, freedom.
Love the Mary Jean Iron quote.
I am glad to witness your recovery. Have a wonderful Sunday
I saw you this morning.
I like sitting and chatting with my sponser....it's a comfy feeling. Did I ever tell you that I've had the same sponser for my whole sobriety??? That's a cool feeling.
