Reasons

todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful

that my mother's speech therapist may request more time to work with her - this has big Medicare implications and that's a good thang

that 2 friends requested my presence yesterday - one who had read my post from the morning and one who had not

that I so rarely get mad at people any more

that I lost so little during my drinking years

that I'll never know what oppurtunites I didn't take advantage of during those years

that I found my journals from ages 16 and 17 years old - I may have to revise some things I thought I remembered (more to come)

that I completed painting 2 walls last night which will now require additional touch up work in other colors

I will also attempt a LARGE painting to cover the wall I just painted

that I am being visited by my nephew this morning at my home - he has never been to my home during his lifetime (26 years old) even though we live 5 miles apart

that James Frey ("A Million Little Pieces") is being exposed for what he truly is -- see what Jim and David have to say

IT'S OK NOT TO BE OK. PEOPLE DON'T COME TO AA BECAUSE THEY'RE OK.
