Today I still felt injured a little from my son's bike accident. Today I felt afraid for putting out some ideas at work. This afternoon I felt a little too disappointed for losing a table tennis. I felt too concerned that I didn't play a game as usual with the new guy at work. I was too concerned that a girl in the noon meeting who relapsed walked out right before I shared about relapse experience. I was too nervous about coaching in my son's baseball game tonight against the best team in the league.

I was grateful today that I get to ride bikes with my son.
I had some inspiration in my work and the confidence to propose ideas and acceptance if they aren't imposed.
I found youthfull ability in the sports interlude I had and I played better than ever.
I am grateful for the ability to have friends and care about them.
I got to carry the message to 2 newcomers in our meeting today.
In the beginning of our game I found serenity and confidence and went on to have a great time and perform well even though we lost.


After our game tonight the other teams coaches wife recognized my wife as they went through religious education together. Then the coach talked to me. He told me that we were the toughest team they played and I was able to relay this to our team.

Tonight my son asked me to hold him while my wife took out his stitches. My heart fills with joy that my son needs me to comfort him when he is afraid. I need God's comfort when I am afraid. My son made it through the stitch pulling and I made it through my fears today.

Thanks be to God.
