Taking for Granted

It can be so easy to take things for granted.  I try really hard to be grateful for so many things.

  1.  A working furnace on these cold nights.
  2. My dog looking adoringly at me.
  3. My son laughing at something he finds funny.
  4. The beautiful full moon.
  5. Finding peace inside myself.
  6. A warm blanket on my bed.
  7. Being able to get up, suit up and show up.

About Karen Teig

I am a 58 year old Native Minnesotan. I work as a Storekeeper at a local hospital here in town. I have been sober since April 18, 1982 and have not smoked since September 8, 2005. I am a Born Again Christian who loves Jesus and am grateful for each day I wake up. I have found that even in the hard times, like after my husband's suicide that I can still find things to be grateful for, even if they are little things. God always has my back.
