•I’m grateful to have slept in and taken a day off to rest.
•I’m grateful not to have class today.
•I’m grateful to be able to do step work with a sponsee today.
•I’m grateful for Barkley and how he tolerates my constant harassment.
•I’m grateful for the noises Barkley makes while eating breakfast.
•I’m grateful for this beautiful weather. I should make a point to enjoy it more before the heat comes.
•I’m grateful that I’ve learned to pause when agitated.
•I’m grateful I could spend time with Mom and Natalie for my birthday.
•I’m grateful I didn’t have to depend on myself alone to escape the mess I was in before getting sober.
•I’m grateful for my morning readings, which, among other things, reminded me that uncontrolled, my will always looks for a shortcut to happiness. I have to stay vigilant and not allow self-will to run riot.
God, thank you for my life.
-Mike
