August 20 to 27, 2018

A long and productive work week.

A chance to help a coworker as she could not work her weekend.

I get today and tomorrow off because I worked her weekend.  Grateful for a Monday and Tuesday off for a change.

Grateful for patient creditors.

Grateful I get to get a massage tomorrow.  It is not a necessity but my muscles are really sore and I need some head to toe work.

My son back to his college courses.  So proud of him.

That I can read a memory in Facebook from when my husband was alive and it does not hit me in the gut….at least not today.

Grateful for good coworkers.  We make a good team.

Grateful that in 12 days I will have not smoked a cigarette in 13 years.  Best decision I have made in a long time.

Grateful for peace.

Love, in its many forms.

I love old shows, “Leave It To Beaver” being one of them.

A nice fan over my head.

Good cab drivers.

My pets.

Cooler weather.

The ability to quiet my mind when I start projecting or looking back.

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. Life is really what I make of it, with few exceptions. God always has a plan.

  1. Nice list. I have to remember to live in the moment too. I’m a recovered smoker but can’t remember exactly when. I know it was a conscious decision to choose life.What is your son studying?
