Gratitude list, June 1, 2010

1. I woke up sober today
2. I woke up and didn't see my name in the obituaries today. (Unless I'm REALLY depressed, that should feel like good news, right?)
3. I didn't die because I had trouble sleeping last night.
4. I didn't die because I didn't fight the sleep issue and I didn't stay in bed really, really late.
5. I didn't panic over my fears of being trapped.
6. I accept that life sucks, but it does for others, too.
7. I accept that it's not always a total tomb here.
8. I recognize group dynamics, and can figure more ways to work around them.
9. I may not be "thriving" right now, but I'm not dying on the vine.
10. I'm being prodded, and responding, even if oh so slowly, to expand my career focus and search.
