i could use this forum to enumerate all those things for which i am grateful...
... but not right now.
the line in the JFT that got me was

it is easy to be grateful when things are going well

for me, i get extremely grateful when i see a newcomer come in all shaky and spacey looking for the answer. i get grateful when i see a fellow member hit one of life's speed-bumps and stay clean. i get grateful when i see those members who i have watched from the start of their journey, have a deep and profound spiritual awakening. i get grateful, when i can close my eyes at night and know that not only did i not use today, i also was the best person i could be at this moment.
these are just a few of the events that inspire an "attitude of gratitude" in me today. i could go on and make an extensive list of those gifts that i am grateful for today, but right now, in this moment, the thing i am most grateful for is my new way of living.
