My Grateful Day

I have been remiss in putting my grateful things into words so today is the day.

My grateful things:

God loves me and is with me in my journey through life.

I have not turned to alcohol and drugs during the turmoil in my life.

My son is HIV negative, one down and several more to go.

I have been blessed by God with food and shelter.

I wake up each morning and can function with all parts of me intact.

I have a few very good friends.

I enjoy my solitude.

I can enjoy the beautiful things in God's world.

Knowing that I will make it through this day with God's guidance.

I am grateful to be alive.

Grateful Day

Even though I am grateful everyday, I haven't expressed the things I am grateful for in writing for a while. So today is going to be the day I do so.

As always the first thing on the list, God loves me no matter what and forgives me.

My faith in God.

Hope and courage.

For my life.

When I wake up in the morning that I have been blessed with another day on God’s earth.

That I do not drink on this day.

My mother saw me clean and sober before she passed away.

That I have food and shelter.

That I will survive this turmoil and become stronger.

For “Poi Dog”, my son's Chihuahua.

Bil and Larry.

Good weather.

Blog friends.

Grateful

I have been taking a vacation from thinking and using my brain for the last month and that hasn’t gotten me anywhere except closer to dying from boredom. I am happy to report that my son and I continue to communicate and actually are getting along for the time being. His birthday is tomorrow, June 21st and for his birthday, he and his partner have bought a condominium and close on it on his birthday. They have been together for over seventeen years and I am happy that they have gotten the condominium. I am grateful that they get along and stay together through thick and thin.

I am grateful that I have remained sober even though the past months have been full of turmoil and trouble. I am grateful that I have chosen not to drink or use drugs to deal with these issues. I am grateful that I no longer have hangovers. I am grateful that God loves me. I am grateful for the blessings He has bestowed upon me, the food and shelter that He has provided. I am just grateful period.

I am grateful when I wake up in the morning that I have been blessed with another day on God’s earth.
