Early morning.

Waking up before 4 a.m. and getting in a nice shower.  Perked me up and am ready to go.

My dog, Jax, seeming to feel a bit better this morning.

Skeeter roaming around and being a little mischievous.  Love that cat!

It is a balmy 5 above on the lake shore.  Yahooooo!

My morning coffee.  Always an essential start to my day.

Being sober and nicotine free another day.

A job I really like, even when there are issues beyond my control.

I get to go to Bible study tonight.

God and all his mercy.

Some bills paid.  Always nice to have hot water, heat, electricity and my garbage picked up. ;)

Waking up to another glorious day.   My days are what I make of them and when they start to go down hill, God is there for me and I can always fall back on the Serenity Prayer and my A.A. program and church teachings.

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.
