Gratitude

Happy Thanksgiving to all my sober friends.

Well, I loooooooooooove holidays like Thankgsiving because it means:
1. MOm is home
2. Mom is home times 2
3. Cuddle bunny time.
4. Maybe a few more treats
5. Gratitude lists

That is right..I get to think about all the ways I am lucky today..

and, what about you? I'd love to hear what you are grateful for today.

Just Remember...

For my friends who wrote in yesterday, just remember, MORE IS NEVER ENOUGH...

I know. As I am still miserable with my tummy today and still thinking that more treats would be better then healing.

Also, I lost my favorite ball, so having a little self-pity going on. It is hard to depend on humans to do things when you need help.

So, for today's Challenge: Try to make sure you work on things you can do for yourself. Then, again, go make someone else happy.

Tummy Tuck

Man, this season has been tough.
I am still overeating and, boy, today, am I paying the consequences.
I haven't gotten out of the proverbial bed all day long and I keep staring at mom's friend Yvonne as if to say, "why are you doing this to me?"

When I say that, or "look," that, what I really mean is, even though I am sick and woozy, "WHY AREN'T YOU GIVING ME TREATS?"

Now, to all good alcoholics or addicts, this, eh hem, "pattern" should seem familiar.

And just because it is a pattern, it certainly doesn't mean it would look good as a permanent form of wallpaper.

Today's Challenge: Try not to feel sorry for yourself because you aren't getting more, more and more. Perhaps, just for today, that is what is for the best.

Cuddle it Up

Give someone a hug today..I am, anyway.
My momma is a tad under the weather and I am cuddling it up with her.
Dogs, well, we are good at that, but people can too!

Go out and find someone who needs you today and, for goodness sakes, stop thinking about yourself.

I looooove cuddle time. Not only does it make mom feel good, but I get a warm and cozy nap in too!

Today's Challenge: Give someone a hug.

Learn to Wait

Sloooowly
I am learning that when I wait patiently and don't jump on people, bark at people or demand attention, the attention I get is not only more frequent, but more sincere as well.

Today's Challenge: Sit down and relax. Stop doing so much to make people notice you. The less you try, the more they come.
