One Thing to be Grateful for Each Day

I think this is a great way to change your mind to the positive... I'm a long term alcoholic and suffering from depression. Its horrible. Look at AA 'just for today', that really helps me to get by. And it's a challenge and can be fun to work outside your comfort zone.
Just for today:
I will be agreeable, I will look as well as I can, dress becomingly, talk low, act courteously, criticise not one bit, not find fault with anything, and not try to improve or regulate anybody except myself.

I interpret that as , I make sure I have a shower, have had a haircut, ironed my clothes, and spoken to someone where I seem interested. Normal people don't need to be reminded that. I need to constantly remind myself to do that, and it helps. I'm happy to be alcoholic because Bill's words are wise.

Part of recovery is finding things to be grateful for. Thought I would start a thread where we could list just one thing we are grateful for each day. I will start it out.

I am grateful to have a roof over my head.

Lucky! I can't take the dogs for their walk today because it's a long weekend and the weekenders are here, dogs loose, making noise...ick, I just want to hide until Tuesday.
But despite that, I'm grateful for my comfortable home today too :)

Oh where are you that it is a long weekend? No hiding, get yourself out of the house, your lungs will be thankful for the fresh air :)

I'll go as far as my porch, but that's it! I'm in Canada, Labour Day weekend so all the "tourists" are in town, it's utterly annoying. Summer in the mountains is wonderful, but the weekenders from the city make it unbearable at times. I can be grateful though that they will all be gone until Thanksgiving as of Tuesday...lol...is that something I should be grateful for? Not very positive!

I went to my friends house for the first time in a while and there was the most beautiful, friendly and precocious little neighbourhood tabby cat that seemed to spend most of the day in his place. She was so placcid and confident and would jump on to your lap and loll about purring and making eyes at you.I love cats and have been thinking lately how much I would love to have a tabby cat with white paws and then totally unexpected...
