Gratitude List

I think one of the things I am supposed to be doing daily is some sort-of gratitude list (I think it may be one of the steps. I am new; I am not really clear on everything!) Even if it isn't something I am asked to do, it seems like a good idea. Especially with the pity party this blog is becoming! I am going to have to be sure to be a little fun in here too.

So, today I am grateful for:

Yoga. Seriously, I love yoga. And, I finally am getting good at it (after like 5 years). Amazingly, my balance and concentration is much, much better sober! Who knew? At the next session at the Y, which starts next week, I am enrolled in 4 classes per week. I will not get to every one, but with my hectic schedule, I had to give myself some options. I am really looking forward to it. I have a new yoga mat, bag, and matching water bottle. I can't wait.

My Chi flat iron. It is amazing.

The new friends I have made in AA. I had lunch last Saturday with one of them, and we had a ball.

The library. I finally realized that spending money on books is kind-of stupid and then I have all these books taking up space in my small house. I have begun using the library instead and I love it. I can do a search at home, request the books I want, and just walk in and pick them up at the desk. Talk about service!

My new pink laptop. I broke my last one last week. My new laptop is really cute.

CSI Miami. It is on like 24 hours a day and we JUST started watching it, so I can always see an episode that is brand new to me.

Perrier water in small plastic bottles.

Lest I sound completely materialistic, I have to mention my gratitude for all the really important things, like my kids, husband, family, old friends, health, etc. But, really, that should be a no-brainer. Of course I am grateful for those things!
