and going to the ER for x-rays. The pain started rating upwards of labor. I just couldn't take another minute. Diagnosis: severely bruised and strained chest cavity. Prognosis: a type of muscle relaxer that is mild enough to control the continual spasms and unyielding pain 
. I finally can say, "I am pain free and can move without flinching." Very grateful today! The only problem: insomnia even with my typical medication protocols.
I am grateful for our Family Support Team and the imterview I particpated in yesterday before my visit to the new ER. 90 minutes. Perspective. It was like a team meeting.....and I am not on the team....sort of. What a great group of ladies!!
I am grateful for my supervisor as she alerted me to a new position. The Batterers Intervention Recovery Support Specialist! I did not hesitate to apply. I will continue to interview this week and next as opportunities may present themselves.
Shhh! Once again, I am grateful for another day and night of amiable relations amongst the canine species with whom I reside. PB Doggie Cookies for Lil Man when he allows for Lucy to trespass his bubble. It is working....and I am beyond grateful for this!
I am grateful for Ms Anne and my bestie. The daughter of my bestie is taking horseback riding lessons and the pictures of her in the paddock makes my heart so happy. She presents happiness in its most purest form...through the eyes of a child. This warms my heart.
I am grateful for the progress I am making in the certification processes for BIP and for the CPRS. Yay!! I am grateful for sobriety which is allowing me to proceed with serving others and cheering 
outloud that "RECOVERY DOES HAPPEN!"
GRATITUDES ABOUND. SOBER AND STRONG!!
