Today

I awaken with a great sense of gratitude.  

I realize how fortunate I am to be alive and relatively healthy.

I can enjoy using food as a fuel for my body and not a crutch or something to eat when I am bored/sad/happy.

I can enjoy new music to me.  Thank you shadisamy.  

I can stay focused on things today.  

I can enjoy a wonderful church service.

I can like/love Karen.  That has been a struggle off and on in my life.

I can work out at the gym yesterday without being in pain minutes into the working. Thankful for my Ortho doctor for my new hip and also thankful I kept up the PT for 11 weeks.

I can enjoy the sunshine even if it is chilly out.

I am sober and nicotine free.  LIfe is good.

I can enjoy time with my family

Last, but never least, God in my life. 

 

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.
