I'm only on my second cup of coffee, not really awake yet...I slept in this morning, felt good. I went out to the church yesterday, did some cleaning and worked in the gardens.It felt so good to just be somewhere besides home.
It has been so dry here ,should have started watering a month ago.Toni....could you send some rain towards TX ? There was a huge grass fire yesterday 30 miles from here, burned over 30,000 acers or more of grassland. I have a friend who lives out that way...phones out... but her sister in Ohio posted on her blog that they were safe, the wind shifted just in time.They had loaded their van with a few precious belongings just in case.I'm thanking God they are safe.
Gratitude...my sponsor wouldn't ever let me leave a meeting with her without me giving my gratitude list, it always put balance in the mix. Today I am grateful for the roof over my head, the bed I slept in, food in the fridge and pantry. Friends who love me unconditionally,in spite of me being me.Grateful for my PC and MIP.
I'm grateful for AA and the fellow alcoholics there who share their experience, strength and hope with me...there's nothing like sitting in a room full of people, looking them in the eye and knowing that they have been where I've been and have lived to tell about it. I'm grateful for sobriety and that I don't have to keep going over the same ole, same ole unless it's to help someone else in their recovery.Thank God for the newcomers that's what I'm here for, to give back to someone else.I love the laughter in the room, people who laugh together, not at someone.
I'm grateful for my family, my granddaughter is coming to spent spring break with my Mom and I.It will be a time of celebration, laughing, giggling, hopes, dreams. She lights up the room when she walks through the door. It will be such a blessing in a house filled with sickness.Three generations of strong-willed women...it's fun.
Thank God for this day...His will not mine. I am trusting Him today,that all is exactly as it's suppose to be. He's what keeps me sober, couldn't do it without Him...surrendering.
Have a great sober day !Have fun, dance, sing,laugh,rejoice,cry, feel it all...this is not a dress rehearsal , this is the real deal.
Good to see you! You can have all the rain you want, you have to send the truck for it though. Maybe you could use that "snail truck" you sent all of the STEW out in. Ha Ha.
But I am glad to see you got out and did that gardening, and most of all out of your house, can relate so much to that.
I am looking at a pretty busy day, and getting a little stressed over what I need to accomplish, and thank you for that simple reminder, I needed to difuse this stress, and I just did with, "I can't, He Can, and I Let Him." wow, the stress just evaporated.
Last night when it was thundering so loud, I had to cover my ears, but I was definitely Thanking God for the warm bed, and the warm covers I could pull over my head, and the roof that was separating the storm, didnt feel a drop.
See? my house is still standing!
So have a great, great day, and sending you a great big Hug,
Hi Rose, sorry did'nt realise it was that bad with the weather. I have a deal with phil, he sends me the snow, takes a while but it gets here! I'll send you rain, we have plenty!
Hope you have a great day
Chris.
