We celebrate Thanksgiving in November. On Facebook, there's an idea going around to express something we're thankful for each day during November. I think it's a great idea, one I'd like to try every week. I'll start with the basics.
1. I am grateful for God's love. He is always there, always loving and caring for me. No matter how bad things get, God is with me.
2. I am grateful for TB, for his loving and supportive presence in my life. He is a true blessing. To have the deep love of one during a lifetime is a blessing. For it to happen twice is a true miracle.
3. I am grateful for the kids, Kristin, Heidi, Bill, Linda and Michele. They are blessings in my life too. I love them and I know they love me.
4. I am grateful for my grandkids Nikolas, Tomas, Taylor, Ryan and Brandon.
5. I am grateful for my wonderful friends. Their love and support means more to me than I could ever express to them.
6. I am grateful for my brother, the one other person who understands what it was like.
7. I am grateful for my cousins and other members of my family.
8. I am grateful for my pastor and my church family.
9. I am grateful for my therapist, who recognized I was at risk.
10. I am grateful for ACOA and its meetings and members because they help me identify my issues and understand them better.
11. I am grateful for the recovery books because they help me figure out how to make changes so that I can get better again
12. I am grateful for the safety I felt at the hospital
13. I am grateful for my cats because I feel so much better when I can hold them and pet them. They seem to know when I need a soft furball to cuddle
