Grateful for another day of sobriety.
Grateful that I got to see the eye doctor and got my left high test. I get the right one done in July. It was tested for perifinal visiion. I don't think that is spelled right. They have you stair at a light and light up spot around the board. I got 83% which to me wasn't good. I realized about half way through that I wasn't sitting properly and couldn't see the bottom lights. I wanted to start over.
Grateful that I saw the intern instead of my family doctor. I was worried about the words that would come out of my mouth if I saw him. I told her that I couldn't have codeine that my kidneys have been bothering with takiing the extra extra-strength Tyenol. He ordered a prescription for pure codeine. I told the pharmacist to tell him to shove it up his a$$.
Grateful that I saw an old friend from NA in my eye specialist office and got a big NA hug.
Grateful that I met an old next door neighbor who I met at my bridge club when I started there years ago. He dated the woman who got me into AA and later my AA sponsor.
Grateful for the connection I get when I go out and about. It feels good to be with people of like mind. This is what my meditation card said to do.
Grateful for philly steak Pita Pit, small pita with fried mushrooms and onions, hold the green pepper, add spinach, swiss cheese, and red onion with Donaire sauce.
Grateful for fruit. I can't buy a whole lot of several fruits, so once in a while I buy small containers of mixed fruit. I ate berries (strawberry, raspberry, blackberry and blueberry) and saved my pineapple and strawberries for tomorrow.
Grateful that I have been able to eat more salads later, I just have to be careful of what dressing I use and what I put in them.
Grateful for healthy choices in today. God and I are working on the honey bun issue. I gave my son the one I had today, so figured that was the 1st Step, at least a start.
Grateful for the sun and the warmer weather.
Grateful that the thunder storm was short in my area, and the rain quit before my day began. More rain is forecast for the weekend, not too sure I am grateful for that, except for the fact it will make the grass grow and my son will be called to work, and the leaves will come out on the trees and the flower will bloom. There were two beautiful trees outside of my heart specialist's office on Wednesday. Don't know what they were called, but they sre were beautiful name or no name.
Grateful that I went to the NA meeting tonight. I made the decision to join and I told them to call me if I was a no show, because with my head I might forget. Somedays Friday seems to go missing.
Grateful there was a newcomer coming back. I am so grateful that he lived to come back. He is very young and a great future ahead of him if he stays clean and sober.
Grateful for a good kind of tired. My gratitude is overdue, don't like going 4 days without sharing.
Grateful for my God's Blessing each day. When I see something like green traffic lights all the way to where I am going, I say, "Thank you, thank you, thank you."
Grateful for all those who walk thiis journey with me. God Bless.
