I am grateful:
1. Forgiveness comes when you can give up the hope that you can change the past. (Oprah, as quoted by Sarah Ferguson on the Oprah show).
2. I am thankful for this program, OA, and that Ive found it, and that it is there for me.
3. That it feels good when I get up and do things, like make the coffee.
4. That I said what I said to J. Sunday night. And that my dr. did not see that as bad at all
5. And I want to step up and fight for my marriage.
6. And dr. said yes. “Take the offensive.”
7. That finally I’ve reached the point where I have too much to lose, and am ready/willing and able to stop being so passive and to *do * something about it.
8. In today’s For Today it says, “A straight path never leads anywhere except to the objective.” Andrew Gide
9. And: “It was true yesterday, and it is true today: To keep my abstinence and continue to enjoy the promises of this program, I stay on the path that goes straight through rather than around life’s problems. It isn’t always easy. I am sometimes tempted to take the more attractive way out – my old compulsive overeater’s way.”
10. That I had some of those school dreams that I like last night.
11. That I took med I felt I needed, and finally unwound, and slept.
12. That I will get blood-work soon, because my dr. is concerned about possible blood sugar issues.
13. That I have this program for food – not just spiritual. Because I *need * to get my eating in order.
14. The lunches I’ve been having lately, veggie-intensive.
15. Real oatmeal, oats in the canister.
16. And that I’m having that this morning.
17. And that I *measured * *one * tablespoon of craisins and one of almond slivers and put them in. I feel much better about this breakfast.
18. That I am out of bread, so this happened.
19. That the Ezekial bread is so expensive, so I’m more likely to do this and other things.
20. Sp saying about president of the United States using a teleprompter. And when speaks extemporaneously sounds like an ass.
21. The Optimum people fixing my service over the phone yesterday. (And me knowing better now about unplugging and plugging in the skinny black cord on the back of the modem, then waiting a little (like seconds) and shutting down Firefox and reopening.
22. That some people on the Sp Sp have prayed for/are praying for our marriage.
23. Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. Matthew 18:19
