My life lately has gotten really good. Every night I am have been falling asleep feeding the baby or was busy with something critical until I passed out exhausted.
This worries me because I have fallen into the worst inconsistency of doing this evening review since the start of my sobriety. I have fallen into the same type of inconsistency that I used to have do back when I was relapsing.
I also have had a lot gratitude and inspirition to write about that I regret I haven't recorded. I know that God knows what my failings and gratefuls are, but I know that my connection to God is dependent on a period of focus in the evening that I can only be sure of when I do this review.
I have work on the SCTA website that I haven't been able to get to that I am worried about neglecting. I also have emails that I need to take care of.
This morning I was able to get in a good prayer and meditation. The readings of the Mass were about the Lady at the well and the Living Water. I heard Fr Barron's teaching that the five husbands may refer to our five senses.
At mass today I felt especially grateful for God's redemption. Several times I had to bow my heard near tears. Fr. James had a good teaching about the Living Water but I don't recall what it was at the moment. I do recall that he spoke of how everyone is so concerned about drinking fresh, cool, and clean water. So much so that we buy it. Everywhere that you look people carry a bottle of water.
During the Epiclesis I acidentally said "My Lord and my God." in my full voice rather than a whisper. I looked at the great cross in the window behind the altar and had a vision of the Corpus Christi.
This afternoon I got in a 2 hour nap. In the afternoon we did a little yardwork and put our room back together a little more.
This brings to mind a moment I had before Church. I had to put back my younger son's carseat becuase I took it out while my truck was in the shop. I realized just how many circumstances have happened in our lives lately that we have made it through gracefully.
In the past I would have been so overwhelmed that I would have been miserable and afaid.
Today in a moment in which I wanted to connect to God I thought of a bottle of Water of Light.
We had a nice little barbecue and my parents came to visit.
It was the best day of my life... again.
