There it is!!!!

So, the sun finally came out and it put a great big smile on my face. The kids found a cicada, played at the playground, and are decorating their clubhouse. These are the days...

Right now I am grateful for the sun, my very dirty children, my friends who help to distract me, the promise of fall and apple picking season, and the fact that Brueggers does not serve beer just very bad coffee.

Gratitude is essential to my recovery, I must find something everyday to be grateful for. If I dont, a) I am being dishonest, as NO day is a complete write off, and b) I heard that grateful alcoholics stick around longer, and their chances of drinking are reduced. Daily Gratitude lists help, as a reminder of the good thi ngs that happen to us, and act as a permanent record to look back on, especially when the head inevitably at some point tell us that... life sucks and has all along. It blows the gaff on the lies that our ols mierable head tells us. Great post to read on a Friday, thanks for sharing your gratitude :)
