Its the beginning of a new week! Hopefully the sun will return lol. We've had 3+ days of grey, windy rainy early spring-like days (which are most certainly better than 3+ days of bitter cold and snow!) and I am ready to see the sun again!
I've been reading about a good bit of gratitude on the blogs I follow so I thought maybe it was time I share my own gratitude list. I think its a nice way to kick off a dark Monday morning.
I am grateful for... ...today.
an extended period of time where I can reflect, pray and act on how I need to be closer to God (Lent)
my sobriety, the program of AA and the Twelve Spiritual Steps
the progress my wife and I are making in our marriage
a new start this morning, that I don't have to carry the stresses and failures of last week into my day
freshly percolated coffee in one of my favorite mugs
a place where I can share where I am
God's gift of music in my life
my son
reasonably good health
So there it is, a list of things to be grateful for! If you've a mind to share something you're feeling especially grateful for, by all means please share it. I believe that gratitude is a state of mind best shared with others and spread far and wide. Gratitude is one of the essential elements of a lasting, contented, peaceful sobriety.
Have a great day!

I'm really glad that your marriage is looking better. Perseverance is the principle behind Step 10.
It was 80 deg here yesterday. LOL
Rain drizzly gray cold but the dogwoods were starting to bloom in Birmingham...
This way of life is filled with so much gratitude and so little time to share it all.
Again, great about your coupleship.
