This morning got off to a good start. I got up with the kids and we had breakfast. I did some cleaning, set up my son's new video game and I played physically with all three kids.

At midmorning my wife woke up and got angry with our middle son (the austistic one) for playing with a toy she is trying to sell. I was asleep so she blamed me for not preventing it. The toys had actually been out since the night before and I didn't even know she was selling them. I argued back and she really started yelling at me. I got so angry that I yelled at her and then I threw a toy through a window, breaking the glass.

I had to do a 4th step and meet with my sponsor tonight.

Otherwise it was a great day.

I got to go to a meeting. The topic was from the family afterward about using our dark past as an asset to help others. Their was awkward silence as it was a difficult topic for people to share. I was able to help open it up even though I didn't all that much like sharing.

The topic was synchronous with what I needed to hear because I had been thinking that I didn't want to do family night with my wife anymore. The topic was also synchronous with the Daily Reflection today which was about the "Joy of Good Living" through Step 12.

I am grateful for the opportunity to grow today.
