I have noticed a huge change in how I feel lately, more at peace , calmer , happy , less physical pain and just generally in a better head space. I think (and my sponsor tells me) that it is because I am not just saying I'm grateful but I am really feeling grateful. I belong to an email gratitude group of over 30 women in recovery, every day I send them my gratitude list and they send me theres. It has helped me to stay focused on all there is to be grateful for. Some days I sit at my computer thinking what the hell can I write today, then I read 30 emails that remind me of all I have to be grateful for. For me gratitude equals serenity and it's all just a state of mind. It never cost me a penny, anyone can have it all you have to do is be grateful, what a concept!
Just last night I was just thinking about sending off an e-mail to some of my NA family about the gratitude e-mail list, but figured I'd wait till and see if anyone else wanted to join. I have your e-mail addy from when you sent me some links, I will include you in the intro e-mail.
