I am grateful for plenty of possibilities to get information.

I’m grateful I have no place to be this morning.
I’m grateful I slept in.
I’m grateful I have no place to be today.
I’m grateful we didn’t have to bathe Gus last night it made the baby sitting gig so easy.
I’m grateful he’s a moose so I’m the one that has to put him in his crib. I’m grateful that makes me the one who rocks him and sings him songs before I heft him into the crib.
I’m grateful he’s such a joy.
I’m grateful to give his parents a break to go out for a nice dinner.
I’m grateful for lonely walks on the beach.
I’m grateful the ocean was very calm with all the wind except the wind blown breakers. I’m grateful I noticed the rainbow in the mist of the waves as I was walking the beach. I’m grateful for the 3 short glimpses of the whale I saw. He was very shy and not showing much of himself.
I’m grateful the secretary at the meeting fucked up and I didn’t have to speak. I got to listen to a 90 day newbie share his story. I’m grateful it was a bit of an embarrassing mess but I didn’t care. Because I’m sober. I’m grateful I did get my 6 year dolphin chip and I did get to tell everyone how I did it.
I’m grateful even though it’s AA and they say to stick to AA recovery I still lead my story with this wonderful magical app I found on line. Because that my story. And I’m sticking to it. I’m grateful I got sober on the app for almost 3 years when I felt I needed more. And that’s when I started going to AA. And I’m so grateful I did. 8:30 AA meetings at the beach once a week is the best way to start my day. And I’m so grateful I get to do that.
I’m grateful for gratitude.
I’m grateful I know without gratitude I got nothing!
I am so very grateful for this life.
But today it’s time before freezing rain sets in.
Having a really good workout.
Animals are so good for the soul
much like sobriety I suppose!
