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

God and Google

Hugs, Honda Civic (my new fuel efficient car) and Harry Potter

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,
