I'm resurrecting the gratitude thread, because I need to get in to gratitude tonight. =)

Tonight I am greatful for:

My sobriety

The fact that I had 2 teeth pulled, even though it hurts, because it had to be done and it all worked out, and it's forcing me to take care of my teeth.

My job, even though it's irritating me lately, because I at least I get to go to work and make money.

My apartment in all it's messy splendor.

My cat and his unwaivering love for his momma.

My grandma and her unending strength and support.

These forums, where I can come and read or post or read and post, or chat, or laugh or sulk or whine.....and everyone understands no matter the emotion.

The girl who is looking to me for help to stay sober. Today is day 8 for her, and she's helping me way more then she knows.

For the ability to find gratitude even though I'm in pain and exausted, because without being greatful, what is there?

Your turn. =)

I'm grafeful that we live in a society that helps people.

I'm grafeful for the time I got to spend with Hammie.

I got to see my friend and her grandson today, and it was a joy to see them both - and the little boy was really cute today! We saw new baby lambs...they must have been just a day or two old. Very sweet. So that's probably three things to be grateful for!

I am seeing a new specialist at a teaching hospital tomorrow, one of the country's leading experts in a health problem I have. I am very thankful for this opportunity. Also a bit nervous! But very thankful.

I am thankful for the opportunity to have a roof over my head, clean clothes to wear, and food to eat.

I'm thankful I know caring friends.

I'm thankful for my counselor's work with me and his support.

I'm grateful because I just got DSL today! I have a lot of accounts to update, but I'm ok with that. And I can be on the phone and the Internet at the same time, so my mom can call me anytime she wants! Anytime. She wants. *Blink* Hmmm...maybe I need to rethink this. LOL! Just kidding! I love my mom! Really!

I'm grateful for my boyfriend's bird, Loki. He's a brat, but I love him just the way he is!

I'm grateful for ice cream, even if it's bad for me, because it's yummy!

I'm grateful for pc and the friends I have here.

[Maven]

Oh, I saw "The Pepsi Company" in your list, Lex, and I wanted to say, I'm grateful for them, too...and hateful. I'm addicted to the stuff, but gosh, it tastes good! The Cherry and Lime kinds, especially!

[tracylee]

I am grateful for having such a wonderful man in my life.

Although I'm still stupid, I'm not as stupid as I was 10 years ago.

[desirae]

I am grateful for....

healthy, beautiful, and amazing children.

the material objects I have recieved in the last month.

My mother is still surviving the world of crack addiction.

My 17 year old sister isn't pregnant again.

I'm still sober and clean.

That I attempted to highlight my hair on my own and it turned out very well

[Maven]

_Sky, I'm really glad to hear your dog can get some pain meds. I hate for an animal to suffer.

I'm grateful for DSL...when it's connected.

Jax, that's the thing about feeling like you're stupid...even if you do, ask questions and learn...then you'll be less stupid.
