•When I’m open and honest about my wants and needs instead of trying to manipulate others, I am able to get my needs met and establish healthy boundaries.
•I can shed and simplify and still feel amazingly abundant.
•Continued personal growth is about being more, not having more.
•Barkley is healthy and still acts like a puppy.
•Barkley thinks all his medicine are just treats.
•I can talk (and laugh) about my past without feeling guilt, shame, or disappointment.
•This cold weather. I’d forgotten how much I enjoy bundling up in layers.
•Dylan holds me accountable to my commitment to personal growth.
•Alex brought me stickers for my new water bottle.
•I can be honest with people about my sobriety and not feel ashamed or embarrassed. In fact, most times it’s a point of pride.
God, thank you for my life.
