Being Sober: Friday the 13th of July

Friday the 13th of July

It is 52 degrees outside and I need to get out there and run! It will be fabuloso! I slept rather late this morning, so I will be running late - until I get to my office and can just slink into the work-a-day. I have no appointments or meetings today, so I hope to get a lot of work done! How 'bout a gratitude list? OK:

I work M-F, and therefore have S-S off!
I am in good health and can actually enjoy going out for a run
The birds are singing this morning
It rained yesterday, and it is cool and damp this morning
It has been a year and three days since I have seen my son, but it is about a month until I will see him again
The women I sponsor are wonderful sober women who are sincere about their sobriety
Sober friends who I love
My friend Mike whose birthday is also 24/7 (July 24). He will be 14, I will be 23 - is he my "little" brother?
Sober bloggers, I love you guys!
The Infinite Grace of a Loving God

"Our search must be for what reality we can find, which includes the best definition and feeling of love that we can acquire. If the capability of loving is in the human being, then it must surely be in his Creator." -- As Bill Sees It, p. 294

I can't wait for your post describing your feelings as you wrap your arms around "the boy" when he gets home. Lucky are the children of parents who take care of themselves as YOU DO.; 7/13/2007 7:04 AM
