My sponsor says that times like this I need to run through my gratitude list.
- I’m sober, which is ironic considering how many drunken spills I’ve taken and never hurt myself
- I’m wearing my winter coat and snowpants.
- Though they hurt like hell, I can’t actually see any bones sticking out of my leg or arm.
- It’s Sunday, so the mailman won’t come, but it’s not a holiday weekend
- The ice storm stopped before I fell so I at least I’m dry
- They say dying of cold is the most painless
- I don’t have any kids
- Probably nobody’ll miss me
Quite the gratitude list there, SWR.
You do what you can where you are, right?
I’ve heard you begin to feel warm as hypothermia sets in. Pretty grim still. At times like this a sneaky drink would be understandable!
I really hope he is found. Finding thanks wherever you are is vitally important, as you said.
This is incredibly sad. I really hope he doesn’t die like that. The list is poignant, but I’m hoping it’s not a prediction.
Yep… that is quite the list. Poor bugger.
The last item sums up the list says it all. Sad.
Here’s mine!
