Cooler morning but will warm up.  I will take the coolness when I can get it.

Going to church this a.m. and looking forward to it.

A friend picking me up so I won’t be walking to church.

Getting back into taking my vitamins.  Been off them for too long.

The want to start taking care of myself again consistently and not the hit and miss I have been doing.

Wanting to live a good life.  I am sober and nicotine free but there is always work to be done.  I am a work in progress.

Eighteen days from now will be the 4th anniversary of my husband’s suicide.  Trying not to let that date get to me.  It used to be that every 6th of each month for at least the first year I would wake up and and it would hit me.  Now, I forget a lot of the time on the 6th but the actual date is still with me.  Grateful for good support in my life through all of this.

I have a roof over my head.  It may not be the fanciest but I am grateful to have a home to each day and a warm bed to sleep in.  Some are not so lucky.

Good coffee….yeah I had to throw that one in.  ;)

The fresh air outside as I took my dog out this morning.

My son.  He has grown into such a responsible young man.

My family and friends.  We can be as independent as we like but we still need our loved ones
