This morning I thought that I need to continue to look at the meaning of a spiritual awakening.

At noon we read about a twelfth step jod well done and about carrying the message and practicing the principles.

I thought that this is how I should determine if I have practiced the twelfth step well:

Did I try? - Did i think to practice the principles in my affairs? Or, do I just act impulsively? Did I try to carry the message? Or, do I just aimlessly share?

Did I execute? - Did I actually apply the principles (inventory, God-reliance, amends) in my affairs? Or, do I just intend to and hope that I did? Did the message I carried focus on the principles? Or, did I share my story, troubles, advice, religion, or opinion?

Did I get results? - Did I stay sober? Or, did I base my success on whether the other guy did or did not get sober? Was I restored to sanity? Or did I put my expectations on a turn of fortune or someone else changing?

Today I was inundated at work but I did my best.

A person in distress asked me for my advice on financial troubles and I got to share experience with him.

I had a wonderful evening with my family.

Thanks be to God for taking care of us all.
