todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful
for the concept of the process of living life in the moment
that a good attitude can get me through a tough situation with relative ease
that when I make a mistake, it's rarely life-threatening
that I get to meet with a potential new sponsee tonight
for a reminder a couple of days ago that the main purpose of service work in AA is to work one-on-one with another alcoholic
that my Mom inadvertently swallowed yesterday, just once, but that one swallow represented great progress in her start to recovery from her paralysis
for quiet time spent with Mom last night while she slept peacefully
that I'm able to view my self-centered, power-hungry, far-left liberal Democratic lawyer neighbor from a distance with some serenity as he forces his views and wishes on all around him no matter what the consequences -- One Man IS an Island
We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about.

HP, great attitude! You mom is in my prayers to continue to heal... Have a truly marvelous day!
funny you mention sitting with your Mom as she slept.
I sometimes sit in one of my kids' rooms and watch them sleep. I've done it since they were babies. Amazing how peaceful it is.
I bet your Mom used to sit and watch you sleep too. Funny how stuff comes full circle.
