trudging my road of happy destiny

January 2

Good morning, this morning, the street sweeper is coming down the road because there is garbage all along the side in front of my house. Once the street sweeper has gone, my side street is clean and for that I am grateful.
This morning I’m grateful for this new year being able to start fresh and clean. The last couple days I haven’t felt quite right, and I haven’t been sleeping well, so today I must take care of myself. I just hope I’m not catching something. Anyways, back to my topic. It’s so easy for my character defect of being needy to come out through what I expect of my husband instead of what I expect of myself. Yesterday I ran into that situation when I talk to him about something that gets on my nerves and he buckled up and didn’t say much. That gives me the queue that I’m not taking care of my side of the street instead I’m stepping on his property and not letting him do what he needs to do to keep his yard mowed and trimmed.
Even though I’m in recovery and I’ve been sober a long time I can still easily get off my path, jumping to someone’s side of the street even though I know better
no matter my insecurities. This morning I’m grateful for my intuition, and that I can listen to my heart and ask for help from my higher power. I’m grateful for a day just to chill back and rest to try to fight off what ever it is I’m trying to come down with. This morning I’m grateful for a light blanket to cover me up, so when I get hot I can throw it off. Having extra blankets and having heat in the cooler weather is truly a blessing and I’m so very grateful. When I was drinking, I was always playing in your yard without permission. Today I can follow directions and stay out of your yard, especially, when I see posted signs.
This morning I am grateful for my life and for the love and support in I have every day. I’m grateful that I don’t have anything on the calendar today and I can take care of myself and take a nap later. Have a good Monday and I hope your new year starts out with pleasant situations and no big bangs.
