This is one of my favorite blogs. I started reading this one a couple of years ago when I was desperately trying to find something to calm the crazies in my head. Well after a good detox I was able to absorb a lot of what Leo has to say. I like today's post, it is about gratitude. This is an effective tool anyone can use when you start to feeling sorry for yourself and need to reign in those nasty voices. After I posted my blog this morning, I did a do-over to my day. I went back to my bed. (I really did!!) I knelt on the side of the bed and asked my higher power to help me. I surrendered my day and went meditate quietly and read. Now as I get ready to go to work, I read Leo's post and make my own gratitude list:

•   I am grateful for my humble home. It ain't fancy, but it keeps me dry and out of the elements.
•   My children.
•   I am grateful for my family. So grateful they are so near to me.
•   To be sober today.
•   I am grateful for my wonderful sister. 
•   My very patient husband.
•   The best job in the world.
•    I am healthy.
•    To be a citizen of the US of A. 
•    for my best friend of 30 plus years

See you all later...
