This morning I woke up very late and was not ready at all. I simply persevered, tried not to let myself get too agitated and made it to work just a little late. It all ended up ok even though my emotions were trying tell me it was terrible.

At mid-morning I went down the street to get some breakfast tacos. As I went around the corner I saw a guy straining to see someone walking down the street. He was looking at a girl in tiny black shorts, a very short midriffs and a baton under a garter. She looked like a stripper still in her Halloween costume. I speculated that she was just ending her party from last night and maybe got stuck somewhere downtown. She didn't look too happy and was having to walk alone in front of some very menacing looking characters. There were other little synchronicities in the next few minutes like a guy talking to another behind me at the restaurant that the party's over and something else I didn't recall that made grateful I don't have to end up in those situation anymore.

I got to go to the noon meeting downtown at lunch. The reading was the second part of step 12 in the 12 x 12. It sure seemed like a synchronous event that a meeting was this topic again. It was easy to share about it as a recent meeting I went to was on the same topic and I later was meditating about it.

Tonight my wife got angry at me and the kids and I had to practice the principles at home. I had to resist fighting with her or putting expectations on her and just try to be kind, tolerant and forgiving. I had to set a boundary of not arguing.
