Gratitude

I broke my 3rd day of fasting on fresh fruits, veggies and juice.  Eating is an issue for me.  The fast was cleansing.  I'm grateful I am learning to savor my food more and trying to not eat while reading or watching TV. I'm enjoying sleeping in my bed well at night, recalling vivid dreams lately, having puppy push his way through my bedroom door with his little 10 lb. body and jumping on my bed and licking my face good morning.  I enjoy walking him and getting some sunshine early in the day.  I really enjoy the sunshine.  I enjoy being affectionate with my dog. I'm enjoying doing a good job at work and not being completely overloaded there to say the least.  I'm grateful business is good there, as many places are not.  I'm grateful I'm able to spend money to help other businesses. I got to lead an AA meeting last night.  I'm grateful I can learn from my sharing and gain some humililty. I'm grateful my dear AA friend who has been attending Al Anon, too, wants us to be cosponsors and work some Al Anon steps together.  I'm excited! I'm grateful a nice guy asked me to church, even if I don't know if I'll go. I'm grateful my parents are still relatively healthy though are having some health problems that I can learn from, mostly related to diet. I'm grateful I have prayer, meditation, baths, TV, great books to read.  I'm grateful I have people to call.  I'm grateful to be secretary of my MA meeting and that I'm able to get speakers to come each week.
