Today I am grateful that everything can get better!
I decide, I choose, I put it in action. I am exercising my privilege and responsibility to make all the decisions and improve the quality of my life. I can sit down and look at all the areas of my life and make choices to improve each area to the best of my ability and move forward.
We ALL can to this! It is our own personal responsibility to ourselves and it is a privilege to do.

Gratitude for 4-21-2013 and Being Grateful for Feeling Fun!!
Today I am grateful at how fun my life feels today.
I love my life today. I most fundamental needs are met and I believe that that is saying a LOT! I have dear friends who I love and they love me back. I can not beat that and I am so glad to be in a position to say that!!
The time I get to spend with dear friends is priceless to me, and with each passing day, I get to know them better and we become closer. I have never had this before and I am very grateful for each and everyone of them!!

Gratitude for 4-20-2013 and New Friends Through T.O.P.S.
Today I am grateful for my new friends I have met through T.O.P.S., the weight loss group.
I have met just the nicest people through my local T.O.P.S. chapter, the leader and his wife come and get me and bring me home from the meetings and yesterday the wife, Shirley came and got me and we went running around on Saturday. It was a gorgeous day and we had a lot of fun!! We went to a couple of garage sales, down to the lake where they have a small house that is being remodelled and back to town to pick up some much needed plumbling supplies back to the lake, we stopped off at their house, I met the pets, LOL I am plumb wore out. Sorry, I couldn't resist it, LOL
My therapist, Sandy McIntosh told me I wouldn't get better unless I got out and met people face to face and I fully see that now, she was dead on about that. My life is fuller and happier now than it has ever been!!

Gratitude for 4-19-2013 and Being Grateful for My life.
Today I am grateful for my life.
I am a recovering alcoholic and looking back at only some of the scrapes I got myself into, I could easily have died or gotten myself killed. I am very grateful for my life and for the fact that I am alive. Does this sound redundant? Having a life is a LOT to be grateful for, I believe!!

Gratitude for 4-18-2013 and Small Home Improvements
Today I am grateful for how the little changes and improvements I am doing in my little home contribute to me feeling so much better about myself.
I am so glad and grateful that I can manage some simple changes, for second hand furniture and clothes and for how important fixing up my little place is to me. I am getting my needs met here and I am very grateful for that. I am placing my mark in every room in my apartment and this is crucially important to me, plus the fact that I even care about this is huge progress for me!

Gratitude for 4-17-2013 and Being Grateful for My Computer
Today I am grateful for my computer that I got such a great deal on and the company I bought it from!
I bought a refurbished computer from Tiger Direct a year ago Christmas. It cost me about $200.00. It came with basic Microsoft but no Windows Office software. So I went searching and discovered Linux.
There are basically 3 operating systems, Microsoft, Linux and Mac. It is like having 3 different cars who all provide the same service but their individual components can not be interchanged. They are 3 separate animals, so to speak.
You can order the Linux versions and you only have to pay the postage. So, I ordered it and loaded it up to my computer and I love it. I only run into compatibility problems finding a printer that was compatible but I researched it online, finally after 2 failed attempts and my third one was a charm!

Gratitude for 4-16-2013 and Being Grateful for What I Can Get Done
Today I am grateful for everything that I am able to get done during my day.
I am just exhausted today, I can't remember what time it was when I fell asleep. I went to sleep in my recliner in front of my TV and I must have turned it off at some point because when I got up this morning, it was off. I got up at 5 AM, my usual time to get up. Looking back, I wish I would have slept in. I went to my weekly T.O.P.S. meeting, I got weighed in and I have lost a pound. I am very glad about that, it all adds up!!
I would really love to go to my Women's Bible Study tonight, but I think it best I don't go, I am feeling very tired and cranky.
I have Connective Tissue Disorder, that includes Chronic Fatigue along with a host of a kazillion other health problems that are very obnoxious. I just do my best every day and I try to take my life one day at a time.
