Thought I would start one on the PP forum.
I am grateful that my granddaughter was delivered this morning at 10:33 a.m. and weighed 8 lbs 5 oz 21 inches long. I am grateful that her mom is doing well and that her daddy is so proud he could bust. I'm grateful that I will see them on Monday.
What are you grateful for??
Oh Janet!!
Congratulations!! I am so happy that all went well and all are doing good. You must be so proud!
I should be grateful for alot today....but I am having a hard time finding it. I need to hit a meeting and badly!

Janet,
I'm grateful that a healthy baby was born today. What a blessing babies are. Congratulations!
I'm grateful that my kids are healthy. Truly, after that, everything else is gravy.
Love,
Gina

Congrats Janet...that is so awesome!!!!!
Today I am grateful to be able to see the positive side of things and find the blessings in each lesson, even if sometimes the lessons are tough...
I am grateful it's Friday and most of my work is done, I'm grateful it's our last baseball game and my evenings will be freed up, I'm grateful my 3 children are healthy, happy & full of joy, I am grateful my oldest son isn't dead from this disease yet, I am grateful for my husband who still makes me laugh out loud on a daily basis, I am grateful for all my friends I have made in recovery, I am especially grateful for my friend, Katbird, I'm grateful for being shown the solution and being able to live life on life's terms today...
Overall, I am most grateful for my HP, God who has given me so many gifts in sobriety there are too many to list.....
Thanks for this thread...Gratitude is my favorite action word....
Smooches,

I'm also grateful for these lovely ladies that can expand my mind and make me realize that I have so many, many reasons to be grateful!
Congrats Janet. Shantel
Congratulations Janet. I bet she is beautiful.
I am grateful that I am no longer dependent on pills for pain management, nor subutex. It has been a long road to healing both physically and mentally, over a year since my last pain pill, and over 3 months off the subutex.

good for you Brooke, it's nice to hear that you can come off of the Sub...it's a great tool for recovery.
Thanks Shantel...I know you've been lucky, blessed with all those girls...
Hmmm, going to be weird changing a diaper...maybe I'll leave it up to Mom and Dad.

Welcome little baby girl!!
I am feeling joy from interacting with my daughters, which is now based in reality instead of in a drug induced fog - for that I am grateful.

Good idea Janet! and congrats, again!
Today I am grateful for my sobriety, or whatever being on Sub. is called by the pros. I am grateful that it keeps me sober. I have seen one addict too many lately who would not stick with the Sub., and either relapsed on pain pills, or alcohol. I am SO very thankful to be where I am, and not back using.
But what is even better than that, is that my kids are both healthy and happy. Oh, and my daughter starts her new job Monday. THANK GOD!
I have much more than I deserve to be grateful for today, but right off the top of my head, those are the best things.
Brooke, Hey, GREAT to see you posting! I am so happy that you were able to share with us your 3 month date of being off Sub. You rock, chick!!! Here's to many more months/years of opiate free living, laughing, and loving.
Janet, I only do the diaper thing when I absolutely have to. I love being a grandma but I am getting to old for the bottle and diaper thing. At this stage in my life bring them to me when they can walk, eat, talk and go potty by themselves. Well, maybe not talk. Enjoy and have a safe trip. Shantel
I'm so happy for you Grandma Janet. A granddaughter. How wonderful for you.
I'm grateful for so many things. So very happy to be out of the madness of active addiction. Thrilled to watch my boys become young men who are kind and smart, albeit a bit lazy. Very grateful for a carreer which challenges and fulfills me,and provides for my family. For the health of my family and friends. Even though I've been a bit dark lately, I'd still be hard pressed to find more to b**** about then all that I have to be grateful for.
Good thread Janet. Congrats!

Shantell, Jen is nursing, I am so glad that she is....there aren't many women that want to do that nowadays...Jana blew it off. I think it's the best thing for the baby. I nursed 3 boys.
I am grateful that my husband and Dylan are bonding, working on the bicycle....Dylan also helped him mow...
I am grateful that my 3 boys have always been healthy despite the usual childhood illnesses...
and that my husband is blessed with good health and is a great provider.

Good thread, Janet!
I'm grateful to be out of the bondage that tortured me for almost nine years. I'm grateful for the health of my family. I'm grateful that Janet and I both were blessed with new grandbabies to bring us more joy into our lives. I'm grateful for all the kind and caring friends who have gotten me through hard times with their love and support.
I'm grateful for a chance to better the lives of my children by going back to school. If you're out there reading somewhere, Liz, I want to say a special word for you. You not only inspired me, but you lead me to where I needed to be. You helped me believe that I could do it and I'll never forget that.
I'm grateful for recovery and the chance that I might be able to help others as they have helped me.
Gratitude is huge when you've been so wonderfully blessed.
xxxxxoooooooo

I spoke with my son a few hours ago. I am grateful that I have raised a really nice man. I am so grateful for the kindness that he has in his heart even when faced with unpleasant situations.
In fact...I am so grateful for my family tonight...even my X husband from over 20 years ago. All the crap that we went through, if I had to do it again....well I would. Because if I didn't I wouldn't have the son and daughter that I do and I couldn't image what my life would have been without those two special people.
I am grateful that my daughter has found recovery and is getting married to and starting her own business and will take over the responsibilities of her wonderful daughter...her daughter...my granddaughter who has rekindled my love of life and brought me joy I have never know.
I am grateful that I live in Hawaii and have a roof over my head and car to drive and a refrigerator full of food. I also have this computer to type on and tell you all of this. I am grateful that I have all of you and you have helped me so much over the past few years.
I am grateful for my HP that has given me a daily reprieve from this horrible disease and that tonight....I don't suffer!

Lol, you are waaay more grateful than me, KeeKee, I just can't be grateful for my ex. But I am grateful that he gave me my boys. That's so awesome about your daughter! It sounds like she's really getting her life together and I know that must make you so proud. She's got a good example to follow. >smile<
xxxxooooo
xxxxooooo
Oh trust me Kat...I have stewing about posting on this thread! Sometimes the things we are most grateful just overlooked so easily. They are right under our noses and in front of our faces....it is so easy to become complacent I know I am guilty of it.
My daughter is a miracle and my belief that the things happen the way they are suppose to is in tact. She was devastated when she and her babies daddy split and went on a 3 month bender and went wild. When we moved it was real easy for her to do that because she literally answered to no one.
She met a man and has been seeing him for 8 months now and he adores her and she him I haven't met him yet. But she sounds so happy....I can hear it her voice and its not that "let me make you believe I am happy voice". Anyway....I am happy for her and very proud...things are getting better...she is in recovery which is the biggest deal of all.....my angel is back.
Okay...getting all mushy here! I must go find Kearra and drag her to blockbuster....she refuses to come in while the sun is shining and its Friday and she knows there is no school tomorrow.....she and 15 other kids are bouncing on a neighbors trampoline.....I am just cringing!!

Your angel is back. That's a beautiful thing. I'm getting choked up for you.
>clearing throat< (enough of that, lol)
If Kearra hasn't seen "Happy Feet", you've just got to get it. I love that little tap dancing penguin! Enjoy your day...evening? I have no idea what time it is there, lol. But for me it's time to crash.
Night!
xxxxooooo

Yes...Kat...seeing glimpses of my angel has been a very rare occasion over the past 10 years..except when she was pregnant...omg..when she was pregnant we became so close again. She was clean and loving life...it so great to see that in her again. Oh god now I am getting all chocked up!
I opted out of blockbuster tonight..don't feel like driving into town...so we just went up the hill and watched the hula dancers...every Friday at this little mall. Anyway..real healthy din din tonight. Pizza and Cheetos!
God forgive me!
Its 6:45pm....party poop-er! I am just watching the sun set...Kat its so beautiful I wish you could see it!
Thanks for chatting tonight and making me laugh out loud!! Sleep good!
