Day 592 Clean & Sober

Good afternoon!  My name is Lauren, and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  Getting myself in a habit of being grateful has been a big change for me.  Before I wanted to complain about everything.  Don't get me wrong, you'll still catch me eyeing a nice car or a big house, but today I am more grateful for what I DO have.  I have learned to be truly grateful for what I have.  It's interesting to think that job you have at McDonald's or wherever, and are complaining about, someone else out there is praying for a job..  Or that 1998 Chevy Cavelier with 170,000 miles on that you've been complaining about, someone else out there is just praying for a car.  Or your kids that drive you crazy sometimes cause they are fighting  or making messes, someone else out there is praying to have a baby. Somtimes we just need to be grateful for the things we DO have, maybe they are not exactly what we think we want, but do we really know what we want???  I think God has a better plan for us!  :)  That's all I have for today!  Have a great one!
