•I’m grateful my surgery went well. I was in and out of there in less than 4 hours.
•I’m grateful to have survived surgery without narcotic pain medication.
•I’m grateful for ice packs, ibuprofen, and Tylenol.
•I’m grateful to have my mom here. The whole thing would have been a lot more anxiety-inducing had I been by myself.
•I’m grateful that the obsession to drink and use has been removed and hasn’t returned.
•I’m grateful for the way Barkley follows me around like my shadow.
•I’m grateful for my meditation practice.
•I’m grateful that each day is a day of steady progress if I allow it to be.
•I’m grateful that God judges me by my heart, not outward appearances.
•I’m grateful that genuine laughter has returned to my life.
God, thank you for my life.
