Today I am grateful for the sunshine and immediately thought about all the beautiful things that have been happening to me since I started on this journey.
Today I looked at my little home and I am grateful that I can come and go in safety.
Today I am grateful that I have food in my cupboards and in my freezer. There was a time that I had nothing on my shelves and worried how I was going to feed my children.
Today I am grateful that I have grandchildren that I can watch grow up and share love with.
Today I am grateful that my daughter has someone in her life and was feeling loved.
Today I am grateful that I did not have to dodge the fists and hide away.
Today I am grateful that I could telephone a friend and ask her if she would like to go out for breakfast and, what'smore, my treat.
Today I am grateful for the provision that God, as I understand Him, has ensured that I have a safe place to work through my own sickness,and that I can see that I AM making progress.
Today I am grateful for my Sponsor, such a special person and one who has given so much to me without ever knowing for I could never quantify it in words.
Today I am grateful that I have people who I can share love with, and laugh with, and care about and I do not have to listen to criticism, and put downs, and that I no longer want to stop the world to get off.
Today I am grateful for the family and all who share and care and take time out to talk with me through this forum. Awesome
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL CHANGES THAT I HAVE MANAGED TO MAKE IN MY LIFE AND MY RECOVERY TO DATE.

((((Suzannah)))) What a wonderful post!! Thank you so much for sharing those feelings and thoughts.
Today I am grateful for my HP and the wisdom He has given me.
Today I am grateful for this forum and wonderful experience, strength, hope, love, and understanding that everyone has here to share. It has made me stop and actually think about what I am doing and about what I am going to do.
Today and everyday I am grateful for my children. My daughter comes up with some of the most off the wall things that no one would ever think a 5 y/o would or could come up with. She is wise beyond her years and she makes me smile. My son is a challenge since he is a teenager now, but the good I see in his heart with everything he does makes me proud. I might be screwed up, but thankfully I don't seem to have messed them up. For THAT I am very grateful.
Today I am grateful for my Michael, my A. Because with out him having the desire to get and stay sober, I wouldn't be here. We would be struggeling trying to figure out how to live. Or, we might not even be together and I would be with some other dysfunctional man. I wanted to "help" him stay sober, so I came to Al-Anon and discovered that it's about me, not him.
Today I am grateful for my little dog irritating me because I know she loves me no matter what; just like my kids, my mom, and everyone here.
Today I am grateful for Spring, because without it the crocuses would have never bloomed and I would have never had the awakening I did and wouldn't be getting stronger.
Today I am grateful for Suzannah and for her HP for giving her the wonderful idea for this post
I am grateful for so many things: This beautiful day, my fabulous children, the lovely girl my oldest son is marrying on April 12th, my pets, my partner (even though he is the A in my life), my sense of humor, my circumstances, my music. Just everything really.
