Today I am grateful.

3-item minimum. I'll start.


Today I am grateful because:

1. I have a bed to sleep in and a roof to put it under.
2. I have food to eat and I will not starve.
3. I have friends to call and a phone to call them with.
4. I have shoes to wear and someplace to go (and people who will be happy to see me when I get there).
5. I have a computer and internet access and I can come to the Lounge and play and enjoy my SD family.


Who's next?

Today I am grateful because:

1. Things are looking up in my life in general, and I have a positive attitude for the first time in a while.
2. I had a great vacation out west, and all the hiking I did has motivated me to start exercising more, and for the first time in my life I think I am going to stick with it.
3. I have a job prospect at a great company, in a great location, and I really think I'm going to get it - I'm so excited to (potentially) finally have a job that I will love and look forward to doing every day which will pay well!
4. Even if I don't get the new job, I have a job that pays the bills and where I can screw off on SD all day.
5. It's Friday, almost the end of the day and I have the whole weekend for just some "me" time. Unpacking from my trip, laundry, stuff around the house, reading, watching TV, working out (most likely inside because it's supposed to rain).

Today I am grateful for:

1. My friends in the Lounge--the ones I've known a while, the ones I've recently met, and the ones I've yet to meet. <--that's actually 3 things.
2. Recent weight loss due to diet & exercise--it's actually working! Woot
3. Jazz aftershave. Man that stuff smells good on me. Big Grin
4. Acceptance. I mostly shaved my head and made peace with the fact that I'm balding.
5. Getting my laundry done! woot

Tonight I am grateful because:

1. I did not show up at the house, drunk, with four days' growth of beard on my face, obviously without a shower in God only knows how long, trying to find something to pawn to buy liquor and drugs.
2. I have friends who are happy to see me, share a meal with me, and talk about the events of the day.
3. I have a bed to sleep in and a roof over that bed, and my rent is paid until August 1st.
4. I will see my wife tomorrow and we will have dinner together.

Today I am grateful that I still have my dog, my house, my family and my job.

Also that I finally got my liver enzymes back under control. Working out helps to purge the toxins from my medications out of my system. woot
