I am grateful for the feeling happening in my body at this very moment. If I were to describe it I would have to say it feels a little uncomfortable, but I know that I am safe. What I am feeling is they absolute beauty of being alive and the impulses of energy that I can feel surging through my body.
I am grateful for therapy and therapists, and for all the old timers in the 12 steps programs that are still coming to meetings making sure the doors are open for us in our early recovery.
I am grateful for my senses and how alive they are. I sat in amazement as I watched the sunrise this morning listening to the waves ripple against the shoreline and the crickets singing in the brush beside me.
I am grateful for skills that I remember to practice during my days, simple ones like being non-judgmental. Just the facts… “The sun was orange as it rose this morning.” Rather than " The sun was bright orange as it rose this morning " Learning that my perspective is not a fact has been golden for me.
I am grateful for people who bring out the worst in me. The people who shine spotlights on my character defects are the people who seem to keep returning. Am I surprised? No not at all. I am grateful for my recovery and self awareness today. Because of all the work I have done I can notice things and stop them before they happen.
I am grateful for trust, intuition and love. I am so grateful for the SPAD reading today my HP has my number EVERY DAMN DAY.
