ABCs - Being Thankful
It is good to get back to the ABCs (the basics), to what we know works, if we see that we are not going in the right direction in recovery.
One of the things that has helped me when I am feeling down is writing down what I am thankful for. So I can focus on what works, what I have, versus what I do not have. Being thankful is one of my ABCs.
Here is my list of things I am thankful for / things I enjoy (in ABC order)...
American Idol Season, and Amazon.com
Brother (Victor and my sister in law Flora), Broward ANAD Support Group, Books, Blogging, and Blokbuster Video
Cheerios, Christmas in Arizona, Chamomile Tea and CNN
Dogs (my dog Mugsy)
Eating Disorder Recovery
Family, Friends, Faith, Forgiveness, Flowers and Flamingo Road Church (love you all !!)
God and Google
Hugs, Honda Civic (my new fuel efficient car) and Harry Potter
iTunes, iPod, iMac and iTrip
Journey - (the good and the bad has made me who I am today), Jamba Juice and Jeans
Kipling Bags
Libraries and Love
Movie Theaters and Music
Nephews (my baby nephew Jonah and my Nephew Alec)
Overcoming Obstacles
Parents (mom Lilian and Dad Victor), Pillows, comfortable Pajamas, Positive Thinking
Q - not being perfect - I can’t think of something that starts with Q!!! :-)
Rest and Relaxation
Second chances, my Support System (thanks so much!), Shopping Malls, and Sea World
Today (Psalm 118:24)
US Citizenship
Vacations and Venezuela
What Happy People Know by Dan Baker PhD
X-Rays (2nd set) and other tests that, in 1997, revealed it was a really bad case of pneumonia and not the big C.
You! reading my blog right now! and Yoga
Zzzzzzzz ( a good night sleep)
************************************
What is one thing you are thankful for? One thing you enjoy doing? What is one of your ABCs (something you know works that can help get you back on track?)
peace, hope and love,
Lily
