  1. I woke up today. What could be better. Thanks be to God.
  2. I am sober another day.  I celebrated 37 years of One Day At A Time’s on April 18. What a blessing my sobriety has been.  I did not pick up a cigarette today either.
  3. The beautiful Lake Superior.  There were fishing boats out there today.  It doesn’t seem that long ago I was watching a lady on snow skis going along the and her dogs following behind her. ;)
  4. Good coffee.  It is one thing I doubt I will never give up.  Yeah, I know, never say never. ;)
  5. My son.  He got another job the other day.  It was a bit less than what he makes at the restaurant, so for now he will work both.
  6. My dog and cat.  They do make life interesting.  Love them.
  7. The fresh air today.  It is 46.2 on the lake shore currently.  Hopefully it will reach the 50’s.
  8. Even with my aches and pains, I got to get out of bed and do somethings like laundry and cleaning my bathroom vanity, toilet, etc.  I think of people who cannot do that and I am very grateful I can.
  9. A young lady who was in a bad car accident some about 10 years ago rolling along in her wheelchair.  They were not sure she could even survive.  I ask her how she is and she always says, “very blessed”.  What an inspiration.  When I get in my head about my hip and knees I will try and remember her.
  10. When I worry about the house and all I need to do, I will give it over to God and do the “next right thing”.  Progress, not perfection.  I am learning this more and more.  Grateful for that.
  11. Good comedies on t.v. to make me laugh.
  12. Good food.
  13. The Easter service tomorrow.  I am looking forward to that and going to a friend’s house for Easter dinner.
  14. I was not planning on working yesterday but did anyways.  Glad I did as it was too much for one person.  Extra money and a paid day off this coming Monday.  Not too bad. ;)
  15. God.
  16. A.A.
  17. Life.
