When we bring ourselves to a sense of being grateful, we affirm that what we have asked is already done. Then we can move forward with confidence to do the things we are meant to do, while knowing that all will be well. ~Daily Om
Today I am grateful...
- that we only are getting rain from Hurricane Dolly
- that I do not give two flips about Christian Bale getting arrested in London. Sersly.
- that I spent hours last night weeding through books I no longer need (8 grocery bags and one box full) and reorganizing this small space. I have more to do but just taking the action was fulfilling. Clutter makes me mental.
- that life is different when you can see how different your life is today than it was when you were a drunken mess
Small miracles keep offering new opportunities just when I need change and growth. New friends have shown me hidden truths in those sayings that I once found so shallow. The lessons of tolerance and acceptance have taught me to look beyond exterior appearances to find the help and wisdom so often lurking beneath the surface. All my sobriety and growth, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, are dependent upon my willingness to listen, understand, and change. ~Alcoholics Anonymous, page 542

Looks like the rain is coming! Stay dry! Jenn
Glad that you're not getting more than rain. I don't much like hurricane season.
It is 1:14 PM Spring time and it's starting to rain. I could care a hoot about any of those arrests.
All my plants in the backyard are perked up like a new boob job. Loving the green.
Don't have a clue who Christian Bale is.
My husband gathered a huge laundry basket full of books from just around the bed.
Lot's of clutter, makes me feel cluttered on the inside.
As my Grandson would say...It gets all over my nervous.
Why did Christian Bale get arrested? Bill asked, breathlessly.
I think that movie was cursed. Sersly.
XXXOOO - glad Dolly isn't pounding on you.
gratitude... that's what I have been lacking... a daily acknowledgement of gratitude... thank you!
Faith sees the finish before it's begun.
Savors the victory before it's been won.
