Grateful Post..

Happy Hump Day..  Today I am grateful.. That I am grounded..   I know that reality sucks but it keeps you in check.. That I got to spend the evening with Yvonne and attend a seminar.. Thanks to OH for sponsoring the seminar.. That I spoke with several people after the seminar.. I love being the pebble.. BTW Debra, some people did know who I was because of the show.. LOL..  That I know why people do things and understand that things happen for a reason..  For being able to know the difference between reality and the pretend world..   That I have Debra and Yvonne in my life.. They keep me grounded and let me know that I will always be just Ramon..

Today I am grateful for... the 2 job interviews I have this afternoon my godmother is making a miraculous recovery--thank you, God! the sun is shining my daughters are healthy, beautiful and doing well in their college careers the love of my family and friends frank's 5 mos sober today the nonfat peppermint white mocha that i am drinking! ha ha Love to you all...your prayers for a favorable outcome at one of these interviews would be appreciated!

I am grateful: That this (whatever this may be) too shall pass That I have a program and a sponsor and some tools with which to deal with adversity That I am gainfully employed with benefits That I have a wondeful family with whom to share the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday That I am strong and I persevere That I know how to meditate That I have opportunites for growth each day That I understand how to love and be loved That I have a home and amenities, food, clothing, extras That I am learning to set boundaries and keep them That each day is a new chance, another shot, a do-over For coffee - good coffee mmmmmmmmm
