Today I am grateful...
- that the commission painting deposit is in the bank
- that I could find something to complain about but it wouldn't make my morning any better
- that there are so many Davids at TLC some of them have nicknames
- that it is so easy to smile. There were days and weeks when I don't think I ever smiled.
All of us need something to live for, something that captures our imagination and beckons us on to greater efforts. Achievement in the areas of study and work, commitments to family and community, development of talents and interests--all serve as motivation. Usually, though, we require something more to keep us going. When we become aware of the Spirit, which is constantly available to us through contact with our Higher Power, we are tuned in to the source of our abstinence and of our life. ~Food for Thought

Did you hear about the blond who thought she needed a ticket to get on the Soul Train?
When you're smilin'

Oh when you're smilin'....keep on smilin'

So stop that sighin'....be happy again

That would be hard for my Soul Train dancers to dance to.

Oops left that part out.
"that I could find something to complain about but it wouldn't make my morning any better" Thanks for the kick in the pants hon!
Love the commentary today, left me smiling! (Hugs)Indigo
I'm glad you're grateful.
you brought a smile to my face today - or rather made it wider,
cuz - you're never fully dressed without one!
And I like the name David a lot. Glad that you keep smiling. I do too. And some times I smile even when I don't feel like it.
I remember those "no smiling" years. It seemed the only time I broke a grin was at someone else's expense...I used to love sarcasm and I hate it now.
I love your song.
I am enjoying your quotes from FFT. Something new for me there, a slightly different voice than what I usually hear....thanks!
Hi there from another recovering alcoholic and blogger. I like your daily gratitude lists! Wishing you all the best.
