Gratitude List

I was feeling particularly crappy today, about an inch away from going out and getting plastered. One call to my sponsor and one meeting later, I find myself saddled with the task of writing a gratitude list.

This is supposed to help me get things into perspective, so here goes...

I am grateful that...

1. I have a job that pays enough for me to keep food on the table.

2. I have a roof over my head.

3. I have friends who I can talk to when I'm feeling crappy.

4. I have my own car and a valid driver's license.

5.I have no serious health problems.

6. My debt to the IRS has been paid.

7. I have two wonderful sons who are much better than their mom at staying out of trouble.

7. I own a Fender DG 16 twelve string guitar. Damn! I love that thing!

8. I have two half decent computers that I can call my own and a broadband internet connection.

9. I have no criminal record, although God only knows that I've done some things that could have earned me one.

10.I have plenty of vacation days that I can use if work gets me to feeling too frazzled.

I suppose that's enough gratitude for now...
