Today I struggled with a cold again but I was blessed with just enough vitality to make it to work. I had a decent day at work and I wasn't overwhelmed. At lunch I went for a walk to a park and I practiced telling my story to speak at the treatment center tonight. I was very surprised at how badly I got sidetracked and/or bogged down in details and tangents. I had to start over three times and I never got to the recovery just to through the war story. Nevertheless I enjoyed this as a sort of focused meditation on carrying the message.

Tonight we got to the treatment center and found out the there had been a scheduling mistake and there was a different type of session scheduled. However we got to visit with our friend and we got to sit through a nice little presentation. At first as I heard the instructor give the presentation I felt inadequate in my abilities compared to hers. At the end I was inspired that the talk I can do is well grounded on spiritual principles.

I resolved to practice my talk regularly to be better prepared.
