Today I feel a renewed energy and faith. 

The grass seems greener.

The sun seems brighter.

The lake is awesome.

I got some things done around the house.

God is good.

I turn 52 today.

Although not feeling great, I am grateful God has seen me to another birthday.

Grateful for my phone as I have not gotten my lap top in to be fixed.

Family.

Sobriety.

The day off.

All the blessings.

The sun peaking through the clouds. Continue reading A good day… →

Three years ago on this date we put our yellow lab/golden retriever mix to sleep. Jake was a great dog. Grateful for the many years he was a part of our family. ❤

My son and the rest of the family.

Staying sober.

A day off to do some things.  Getting a hair cut, getting with a friend, some house work, catching up on my t.v. programs.

God.

Love.

My son and pets. 

A.A. and my church family.  My Bible.  

Good music.  I hope I never lose my hearing.  It is not the best hearing but I love hearing music. 

I don’t have to school shop.  Actually have not had to since 2012 but I still enjoy the feeling of not having to.  

The beautiful lake. 

The crisp air outside.

My dog eating right away this morning.  A little Alpo in his dry food helps. 

My son has  grown up to be such a wonderful young man.  He has a big heart. :)

He is going to college and working.

I got to see my grief counselor yesterday and it was well overdue.  I will try not to wait so long next time.

The smell of the air after it stopped raining yesterday.

My dog Jax eating all his food this morning.

Skeeter laying in his usual spot in the sunny spot in the dining room.

God.

My Bible.

Having a little bit of confidence at work yesterday in things I had not before.

My family and friends.

A roof over my head.

My son letting me have a bit of his omelet before he rain out the door to school this morning.

This site, as it is a nice platform to express our gratitude.

Relaxing weekend, got a bit done around the house, read, watched t.v.

Great church service today.  Many wonderful people attend that church and when I go there, I feel at home and loved.

Staying sober and nicotine free another day.

God being in my life.

The 12 steps of my program.

Good self-talk tools I have learned.

Being able to set my weight goals and not give up.

I get to go to one or of pastor’s going away party this evening.  Sad to see him go but excited for his and his family’s future.

My son. Love that young man to the moon in back. ;)

Worked hard and it was busy.

Good food.

God.

My Bible.

Good rest.

My family and friends.

Good music.
