just plain grateful

Stuck for a title topic, I will write about a few things I am grateful on Sundays.

I usually go for a walk with Leslee at Bellevue Square before my home group meeting. It has been 7 weeks since our last walk. Leslee spent 3 weeks with her mom in a hospice facility in December. Thanksgiving, Xmas and New Year’s, we did not go to the mall. It was good to get to spend time with Leslee.

After our walk, we go to our home group meeting a few block away in downtown Bellevue. The meeting used to be 15ish people for the last half-dozen years. Attendance for the last 6 months has one up to the low 20s. It used to be that we could all share briefly in a one hour meeting. That is no longer the case. It is good to see our meeting growing. We alcoholics often have difficulty with change—even it is good.

On the way to meet Leslee, it was good to see that there was a bit of twilight in the clear western sky at 5:30. The days are already starting to get a bit longer.

I am grateful for the little things that made today a good day.
