I never lose sight of the fact that just being is fun. -- Katharine Hepburn
The first good news each day is that we wake up. We are breathing. Our heats are beating, our minds working. The adventure of living begins. What does the day hold in store? We have no way of knowing what surprises lie in wait for us today.
We may look forward, not just to the expected, but to the unexpected. Whom shall we meet? What will we see? What will we learn? How will we be entertained? What changes to help others will come our way? What chances to love and be loved?
Now that our eyes are opened to today's beauty, let us remain alert for new sights. Let us cry when sad, smile when touched, and laugh at what is funny in a whole new lifetime before us.
What can I be thankful for today?

I've recently returned to this program. After several years absent, my life has not turned out the way I've expected or wanted. But as I look around my world, I know that there's a new life out there for me. One where trust, happiness, and love abound. Though it may always not be easy, simple, or clear, but as long as I take things slowly (one day at a time) and keep moving forward everything will be better.
Today I'm thankful that I'm alive and well Today I'm thankful that I don't feel the need to drink Today I'm thankful that I can go to a meeting Today I'm thankful that my wife would like to talk to me Today I'm thankful that I have opened my heart to a higher power Today I'm thankful that there is a new and better life for me.
And, thanks for what you posted. I'm having a pretty tough day here and you have made me realize that I have so much to be thankful for. I needed to read what you wrote. Thank you.
Take care,
Carol

You have all inspired me to share my gratitude list:
That I get to work where there is humor That I prayed today to be helpful and useful That I am surrounded by people I love and who love me That "the joy of living we have, even under pressure and difficulty" That I am meeting someone tonight to read the big book and work through the steps That I have the opportunity to be a good wife and a good caretaker of my dogs That others share their gratitude with me
