  Got Gratitude?
For those of you who asked, yes I am still alive. Thank you for asking. I have just been in a bad mood and have not felt like posting. I have also been getting a lot of hours at work. Imagine me actually having to work for a living. Just like one among many as I learned in the rooms. Being one among many was definitely not what I had in mind for my life when I was in college.

My sponsee Ann suggested I need some gratitude. I have to laugh when sponsee give me back my own advice. She is absolutely right of course. I must admit however, I bristle a little at it coming from her. It’s like when Sam says something and I hear my or worse my mother’s words coming out of him

I just went to an 8:30am AA meeting. We were still experiencing tropical storm force winds.
The topic -- GRATITUDE!!
 
Lol, that is great!
 
When I'm in a bad mood I usually post and when I post I swear a lot. Actually, swearing helps me a great deal. Go ahead Trudge, SWEAR, come on...we will say it together...ready....MOTHERF#$%&*...there do you feel better now? ((((TRUDGE))))
 
Being busy is good. Being grateful is better. I am happy that you are doing well, and hope you have a good day!
 
We can usually find stuff to be thankful for, but it doesn't always mean we feel very thankful at the time.
Hang in there.
