Can't Resist Gratitudes

Must type BRIEFLY
but I truly and grateful for all these things

1. First ones I did yesterday: I’ve written my thank you notes this time. And gotten them out.
2. I’ve received a number of Christmas cards.
3. Next year I shall send some!
4. And put up a tree!
5. I have turned a corner. My breath is deeper than it’s been in my adult life. I can’t believe it, almost. You know that feeling after the best orgasm you’ve ever had? Or maybe after running a marathon? … This is like that. And it does NOT rely on an imagined higher power named J. Oh, thank God!
6. I am finally ready to go on with my Step Eight. No longer burdened by knowing that my “amends” to J. would really be a sort of trial manipulation. NO desire to manipulate. Not even sure would take him back if he came!
7. And – no desire to flagellate self. Just amends. Period. Clean. Oh, thank God!
8. All eastern and western practices that emphasize living in the now.
9. I feel like I’ve recently been enlightened. Oh, thank God! And Buddha! And OA! And CoDA!
