ANOTHER SOBER ALCOHOLIC: SOME THOUGHTS ON GRATITUDE.

Many of us Peeps (“We the Peeps”!) from time to time write our gratitude lists in the posts.  It is GooooD for me to read these, and to be reminded how important it is–to know and recognize that God is the constant Giver, and I, the undeserving receiver.  I am SO grateful for SO many things which I take SO for granted.
