October 12, 2025 - More Gratitude

 I try to always begin my day with a little gratitude, even if that's not the word I pick from my god box. Today, it was a slogan Easy Does It....But Do It. I did notice yesterday I had some shortness of breath while engaging in physical activity, so perhaps I need to slow down a little and not take on too much. As much as I don't like to admit it, I'm not twenty years old anymore.

Today is Thanksgiving and honestly, every day is thanksgiving to us. We are grateful that we are still here and still together and still able to enjoy life. We'll be starting the daty with a church service. A lot of folks we talked to yesterday said they would be playing hookey from church today, I guess they'll be home cooking their meal. We are eating our turkey dinner tomorrow because we knew we'd be busy today.

And, of course, we go to the coffee hour they have after the church service. I made some cookies for that.

I am hosting a workshop this afternoon at club 24. It's on tradition five which is about carrying the message to the alcoholic who still suffers. it's thanksgiving so there probably won't be many people there, there never are, but at least I will be fufilling my responsibility. I can't do your responsibility for you. 

Some of the folk that i sponsor are taking the day off to spend it with their families because they forgot how they got reunited with their families. Oh well, I'm supposed to be taking it easy right. The meeting I host on zoom tonight, the topic is Being Good To Yourself. That's a coincidence right.
