GRATEFUL FOR BIG AND LITTLE THINGS….

Grateful to have a job to go back to.

Grateful to be feeling better.  Still tired but I can work through that.

My dog ate his food with some coaxing this morning. 

I got in a nice shower this morning.  Still marveling at that LOL.

God.

My Bible I read from on the way to work on the bus.

A wonderful coworker I worked with.  Getting to know her better.   I have known her for many years but because we worked on different floors, we did not get to know each other as well as we have recently. 

Sobriety and not smoking cigarettes.

My son getting home safe last night after having some drinks at a friend’s house. Thanks Natasha for being the designated driver for him and Alex.  

Being able to sleep in a little as I work at 10:00 a.m.

Although it rained, it was not pouring as hard as is has been recently.  I had my umbrella still.

Clear thinking even though I am tired. 

The song going through my head all day, “Word Of God Speak” by MercyMe.  One of the songs I played at my husband’s funeral.  Although it tugs at my heart a little still, it makes me feel closer to him at the same time.  

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.

  1. Glad you’re able to go back to work and find good things there, and that you continue to enjoy your fixed up home. Touched by the presence of your husband that resonates for you in the song. Thank you for writing.
