Today I am grateful for

  • constructive disagreements (because they produce new understanding, when the people who disagree seek to understand the other person’s perspective)
  • health care and medical advice, because it challenges me to grow by changing some habits that are not helpful for me
  • being part of a recovery community that organizes conferences several times per year (I am looking forward to attending one this summer)

My sponsor and I have begun sharing gratitude lists to start our day, so I thought this would be a good place to share mine. My minimum is 3 things, but I definitely may add more at times. :heart:

  1. The program of action and the people in it who illuminate the path forward
  2. The willingness to walk that path
  3. The safety of those I love most today after a very scary day far too close to home

I am grateful that, as much as I am an introvert, I have friends and coworkers looking out for me.
I am grateful that my wife’s death was quick and I hope as painless as possible. I’m grateful for the ten years I had with her. She was diagnosed with MS in the late 1980s and given 5 years to live and she took every experimental med offered to her. For science, she said.
There’s much more I’m grateful for, but I am going to leave it here for now.
