and grateful. Today I had several opportunities to log my gratitudes. I waited. Not because I was struggling with my thoughts or my emotions. I waited until now because I wanted to keep recognizing more abundance from life. It did not disappoint. Today the chiropractor spent 45 minutes readjusting me. Great relief has been established. Finally, mostly pain free. Today, gratitudes include problem-solution conversation with parole officers on how to best serve a coomon client. Behind the scenes we are trying to assist his recovery journey so maybe he can have success 
. I am grateful she was not ready to dismiss him and violate him due to lack of progress and participation. I am grateful I have resources to offer and hope he sees and accepts our services. I am grateful for having served 3 kids in recognizing emotions and being able to share with them activities to debunk their negative thoughts and offer strategies to alter negative behaviors. I am grateful for those who chose to miss their appointments for this allowed me to spend quality time with documentation and time to research and read. End of the day gratitudes are not my norm. I prefer to start my day with these, however had I chosen to do so I would have not had the time to talk with my best friend before my appointment. I also recognize and appreciate Domestic Violence Group leaders in Florida who are allowing me to Cofacilitate with them. I appreciate the abilities modeled last night to men who had their beliefs challenged and called out on some beliefs that are dangerous, violent, and unequal.
Of course, Little Man and Lucy. Love 
them! Even when Lil Man is super grouchy about his hidden cookie he thinks Lucy will steal. Oh the joy, as they argue. Grateful again and still sober and strong.
