I’m grateful to God thank you for loving me and know I love you. I’m grateful to God please help me be better today than I was yesterday and to stay clean and sober. I’m grateful for my family, friends TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for the twelve steps and that I’m working on my fourth step again. I’m grateful that it’s a smaller step four than last time. I’m grateful that my parents are coming for a visit on Sunday. I’m grateful that the sun is shining in through the window warming me since the heat is still out here for days(again) and its making me extra sore waking up in the cold which makes the whole process of being happy, healthy and strong a little harder. I’m grateful to put on some music and get my butt moving which should cheer me up, loosen me up and warm me up. God bless you all. 
& 
p.s. You are capable and kind. Ya you!!

I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I’m grateful to God I don’t depend on booze.
I’m grateful I don’t use booze to fix my problems. Like that ever worked 
I’m grateful I got Daisy Cat on my lap keeping me warm. And I can feel her little heart beat on my thigh.
I’m grateful for the warmer weather. Although it was pretty cool yesterday.
I’m grateful for my clean windows. Again. I just cannot believe how dirty they got and how clean they are.
I’m grateful for the wonderful Tex Mex enchiladas I made last night.
I’m grateful for my wife and children and their spouses.
I’m grateful I’ll be able to see my daughter soon.
I’m grateful maybe later in the year maybe I’ll be able to see my son and my niece/daughter.
I’m grateful I don’t have to fly up to Boston 5 or 6 times a year. Sorry Mom and Dad. I’m so glad I was able to do that when y’all were around and I got no regrets. But it was hard. But I’d do it again in a heartbeat for y’all. You guys were the best. I’m grateful so many things remind me of my parents. Especially this getting old bullshit. I hope I don’t loose my filter anytime soon. I’m not that old. Yet. I’m grateful for the wonderful onion rings we always shared at Good Thymes Cafe in Lowell. Sometimes it was hard to get you guys to eat much, but y’all gobbled those things up like candy.
I’m grateful for the wonderful memories of my parents.
We had some really hard times but Mom always made the best out of them. Sure had me fooled most of the time.
Grateful for all the Gratitudes and new Gratitroopers.
Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.

My Mom was born in Lowell. Had family there for years. Most have passed to the next world…or Westford or Newburyport!

I think I was born at St Joseph’s in Lowell. Not Lowell General. I’m actually from Dracut but no hospitals in Dracut. I’m grateful I got the hell out of there at 18 and never looked back. 
You know the saying? “Life is like a bowl of cherries and Lowell’s the pits.” 
My Dad’s family grew up in the Polish area and went to the Polish Catholic School.

My childhood recollections involve running around with my cousins and having fun. They all left! My French-Canadian grandparents immigrated with their families around 1917. With lots of other Canadians to work in the textile industry. I grew up in Quincy.

My French Canadian grandparents came in from Quebec. On my mother’s side. Gramps to Lowell. Grammy to Concord New Hampshire. We always did the fun summer trip to the farm in Sherbrooke Quebec to see the relatives. I always loved the farm out there. So beautiful. And they had pigs we could play with

Grammy worked at the old cracker factory in Lowell.
Grampa worked on the Boston and Maine railroad as an engineer.
I’m grateful for all the free trips into Boston grampa would take me on and to Fenway Park to see the Red Sox. Just me and him.

Wonderful memories! Bringing alcohol back into the story, Grampy loved him a Ballantine XXX Ale. No alcoholism there, though.Never even saw him tipsy. A positive drinking role model. I should have taken notes.

My grampa was a raging mean fighting sonofbitch when he was on a benda.
I don’t remember that part of him. And I don’t have too.
He loved me and spoiled me rotten.

Today I’m so gratefulllll!
- that my headache cleared up after trying a new medication. So glad that there appears to be a path forward and that I found a good doctor.
- for modern medicine and all the bright individuals who helped develop vaccines for the virus, and that I was able to get my second dose today.
- for the increasing sense of optimism that I’ve been feeling about the path I am on toward a better me. And for the changes that I’m feeling in a bigger world sense…it might just be that spring is here, but I really think things are getting better all the time. I will sit with and appreciate that feeling today.
Grateful for my TS amigos!
