Seriously, dude. Character building to say the least. I’ll add a grateful that I had you and others like @SassyRocks and my newly sober 7 weeks son to keep me walking the line though he is 3,000 miles away and I have never met you guys in person. I add an amen to every item on your list. Let’s go forth … …

Nice to know we’re not alone. So earthquake in Cali to add to the list :cry::grimacing: my daughter lives there. But not in San Gabriel 4.8. I think I’ll just continue to do my devotionals all day and stay in a shell. :slightly_frowning_face:

By the way when I see that little duck replying in the lower left hand corner it always brings a smile to my face. :joy:. I love it.

Ya a 4.8 I think it was, just east of LA Friday night/Saturday morning in San Gabriel. I think that’s about as strong a quake you can get before there is some serious damaging shit.

So I haven’t done one of these in a while, and I have a lot to be thankful for!

I am grateful for the strength I have been able to find on my journey so far, it hs enabled me to be closing in on 90 days!

I am always grateful for my family (kids and fiance), I cannot imagine life without them.

I am grateful for my sister, she has been great and helped a lot with the turmoil I have been dealing with.

I am grateful for my job, even on tough days…I have been given a great opportunity that could be a career changer! In the world we live in today being able to provide for family isn’t something that everyone has.

I am grateful for the coming weekend, even though they fly by I am always excited for them to get here…especially with this cooler weather!

I am grateful that life has taught me to take the high road, which is paying off in a lot of my current situations.

I am grateful for all of you and this forum!

I hope everyone can see the things they have to be grateful for. Any day can be good OR bad, it is a matter of our perceptions.
