Gratitude List

Today I was speaking with my sponsor about how pissed I am about the current goings on and she suggested, ok... let's be honest, she gave me homework, to make a gratitude list before tonight's meeting.

As per my usual self I procrastinated and it is now about 30 minutes before I need to pick up the munchkin and I'm just now doing. So here goes nothing.

1) I am grateful that the Munchkin and I are both in relatively good health

2) I am grateful that I was able to refinance the house in my name before all of this junk happened

3) I am grateful for all of my wonderful and supportive friends and family

4) I am grateful that overall the Munchkin seems relatively un-phased by all of the drama going on around him

5) I am grateful that I have a job that I love in this questionable economy

6) I am grateful that I had the piece of mind to try to get my debts structured in such a way that I could pay them on my own, before it came to the point where I did have to start paying them on my own

7) I am grateful that I have a bountiful supply of free babysitters in the evenings and weekends so that I don't completely loose my sanity

8) I am grateful that the Munchkin will be able to grow up so close to his grandparents

9) I am grateful that I am able to afford a few extras here and there

10) I am grateful for the Al-anon program, without it I am pretty sure I would not have ever had the strength
