Now and then, I get a bit mushy and reflect on the wonderful gifts which God has given to me. I am grateful for many things--among them:
Music, which lifts me from this worldly world
Singing in the Choir at St Ann Church
Art--all genre, all form, all color
I will get to "ride" to my meeting tonight
It is my "home group" meeting (Thursday)
I am librarian for this group
Never figured I'd be proud to be a librarian
I will tell my weekly joke tonight to about 200 people
They will laugh
Laughter is good
I use my computer for God's sake!
I have several 'families'
Prayer Girl and our children is one dear family
My early 7 AM meeting is my other dear 'family'
Other AA meetings I love
You bloggers--Yessss!--are also my 'dear' family.
I love all my families
My families love ME!
I wear a beautiful solid gold cross
Daily Reflections (A.A. Readings)
Anthony De Mello (Author)
The Cloud of Unknowing (Book)
Water aplenty
A roof that does not leak
A toilet that does
A wide TV screen
That I don't watch TV
Knowing how to pray
Learning how to meditate
My contact with God as a Friend
Do not ANYONE who reads this think that I am not grateful--in the extreme!
That's about enough for now--more to come...tomorrow? Before signing off for this Thursday night, I've GOT to tell you all:
I am most peaceful, most serene, most happy, most thankful, and I know that God is close to me--at these moments in front of my computer. This is whether I'm reading you, blogging, commenting, Emailing--and/or praying with you. I love you.
MUCH Gratitude.
Steve

I am a sucker for mushy post's so thank you for this today~!
I loved your post today! I also like that you like wide screen TV's and don't watch TV. I watch little to no TV and I don't miss it. I would rather read, or talk to people. You are blessed!
Great list~!!! Aww we love you too Steve!! Stay blessed and highly favored!
You've left a blank space, to keep adding blessings??
Really valuable things to thank!!
Besos:)
This is a wonderful way to start my afternoon at work the gratitude of our lives, the families we create, the families we have...thank you for being part of my family and for your blessed gratitude...xo g

Sounds as if you are having a great day. I'm glad. Enjoy all of it.
Yes sir this IS a list... am sure you could even make it a bit longer
Loved it
Sweet Peep...
You demonstrate gratitude almost with everything you do.
And I love you, Steveroni. And you're so blessed to feel gratitude, and so much of it. There are many that feel no gratitude, though they have much to be thankful for, if they only stop and look, and listen, and smell, and and and... Again, you inspire on a higher level than you will ever know.
Hugs,
Nevine

Nice to meet you, Steve. Aren't gratitude lists great? It's been two years now that I do one each night before bed and it changed my life. Thank you for sharing yours.
Thanks for your comment on my blog and yes, I am serious but lighthearted as well.My seriousness is in my determination to change my outlook, my responses and reactions, all that good stuff!! My sense of humor, thanks be to God, remains well intact. Your gratitude is contagious and a gentle reminder that there is always "the choice". Blessings, Steve!
I just love this...good thing to contemplate this morning!!
Wow! Terrific list!! Have a great weekend--I feel pretty sure you'll appreciate it!!!
That's a very wonderful list. No wonder you are grateful.
