Waking up early and being able to enjoy the morning.
The sun peaking out after the hard rain last night.
Good coffee.
My phone getting damaged while in my backpack during the downpour yesterday.
A day without a phone, it is not all that bad not being attached to another electronic thing.
Shopping for a new phone if the rice does not do the trick with my current cell phone.
God, love, peace.
Being able to have patience while talking with contractors today.
Being sober and nicotine free.
Love.
Gainful employment.
Hard rain coming down on the way home from the bus stop even though I got soaked.
My son and pets.
Having the house to myself for a few hours while my son is out with his friends. Love him dearly but having some alone time is not always bad. He feels the same way when I go somewhere.
A.A. and church.
Being able to work with people I wanted to today.
Learning some interesting things at work.
God.
My pets.
My son.
Being able to get off early tomorrow as I work early. Nice way to start my weekend.
The beautiful partial moon this morning when I got up to go to the porta potty.
Good food.
Love of family and friends.
A.A. and church. Thank God for them both.
God is with me and guiding me today.
A nice coworker who was willing to work for me today so I could take the day off.
The contractor who came out and put the drywall up in my bathroom and discussed options with me. Thank you Curtis for keeping me in the loop.
Seeing some progress in my house.
Being able to relax a bit after my cat catching two mice on Saturday and Sunday evening. Ughhh. I have not seen anymore since Sunday night.
The sun coming out after a good rain overnight.
Enjoying a nice bath this morning. No shower yet, but I love my baths anyways..
My A.A. program and church.
My boss for understanding and letting me take today off and letting my coworker come in on her day off.
Being able to laugh through the stress and anger when the work was being stalled on my house. Having a forum to vent and people who care.
My pets, although they can drive me a little batty sometimes, truly are nice to wake up to.
My son.
I am grateful to have a roof over my head, even if the house is not fixed up the way I want it. Saying the serenity prayer lots.
Going to church, always a good thing whether I am in a good mood or not, as feeling closer to God is always good. Also, reading scriptures.
My pets.
My son, who disposed of a mouse that my cat caught outside. It was still alive some how. I think my cat was going to toy with it and then kill it eventually.
The nice day weather wise. It is cooler but that is okay. ;)
A working computer to type this on. My keyboard was acting up yesterday morning on this laptop and I was a bit worried.
A job to at my bills, even if there is one person I am not fond of at work. I will have to pray for them.
That I realize there are always people who have it worse than me and that on most days, I am very grateful to be upright, breathing, walking and talking. That getting older is not a bad thing as some people are not lucky enough to do that. ;)
Happy the work week is over, even if I did only work three days.
God, giving me patience with this house even when it is hard to find it some days.
Good coworker buddy to vent to.
Waking up sober and nicotine free another day.
Having the day off to rest and recalibrate mentally.
My A.A. program which helps me deal with the stagnating of my project on the house. There was not a ton of work done while I worked the past three days.
A roof over my head, even if it is not how I want it at the moment.
My health.
That even though I feel punk with a headache today, I can still find things to be grateful for.
My first day back and work yesterday went well, although busy the second half of the day.
Little more done on my house, it was kind of hard not being here to see the goings on on Wednesday but all seemed to go well with the pets and the work.
Up and ready for another day. A little tired of going out the porta potty but grateful at the same time to have it. Hopefully, this weekend I will have a toilet in the house.
Happy for the cool temps but miss the sun.
My son, who took our cat in his bedroom all night.
A good up of coffee. Still feeling a little tired.
Being able to fid our cat after midnight last night. With the work on the house, he has more places to hide. ;) I was afraid he landed in the basement where he got caught up on the rafters one time or outside. We have kept him an inside cat.
Two more days of work left. Very short week.
Being sober another day and nicotine free.
God.
My family.
It has been one year since I switched jobs. Still in the same company but I have weekends and holidays off.
The work on my bathroom is progressing along nicely.
My son, as I love him more than life itself.
My pets.
Good and honest workers.
A beautiful day. Not as warm down near the lake but still wonderful.
Good food.
Learning that I can lived in a cramped space if I need to.
Having a working computer to use to type this. :)
The beautiful lake walk I can take the 5 blocks home from the store.
Having a job to go back to. Although I would love more time off, I know I need to go back. I have had three plus weeks off this summer and it was much needed but I am a long way from retirement.
God and my sobriety.
