    Nursechery well done for accepting and changing (I know thats also another forum also).

    Today I'm grateful for:

    1. Not getting impatient with my Mother when I met up with her.
    2. Not allowing hers or my step-fathers negativity about 'life', bring me down, or allowing their mood to become my mood.
    3. 3 clients booked in today.
    4. To have quiet time also today, to read OA and pray to my HP.
    5. To miss the flash flood we just had in our area. The UK is flooding dreadfully at the moment. I heard on the radio that our area was experiencing flash flooding, and vehicles breaking down because the drains couldn't cope with the excess water. When I returned home the roads were relatively ok.

    Thank you :wink:

    1. My husband sending me a loving text on his way to work. (I really feel like I'm neglecting him at the moment due to busyiness, I pray to change this).:heart:

    2. A quiet house for 2 hours before my first client.

    3. The sun shining (albeit for a few hours, then forecast more rain!)

    4. Financial security (for today).

    5. My little dog who adores me and never wants to leave my side :heart:

    1. That we got our electricity back on by 1am this morning
    2. That the house didn't get too hot
    3. That my mom lives right across the yard from me so i was able to check on her easily. Same with my son who lives within walking distance from me. The electricity went out for blocks and we all lost it last night. Nice to be reminded of my gratefulness for electricity and the other utilities. And having the willingness to let God choose the results without worrying.
    4. That I was able to use the 12 steps to help me with a particular situation, see the truth and work on fixing the part of the problem I can fix, me.
    5. Having the steps to work on my relationship with my higher power
