Today I had a hard time waking up and praying again.

This morning I thought about how this weekend there were two times when my wife and I seemed on the verge of angry, bitter, disagreement of the type that we used to have, but we both averted it. The severity of these events seemed to have eluded me in my inventories for those nights.

Today was a very busy day at work with the new quarter imminent. There was a work project that we were tasked to collaborate on to revise a piece of work that someone else had already drafted. My draft was remitted to be redone in a different format which cost me double work and double the time. I found myself surging with resentment for a few moments, but I sought repentance and looked and focused on the team effort and was immediately relieved and inspired to get it done which I did. I am grateful that it is not pending because I was informed about another pending project that is imminent.

At noon today I got to go to the meeting. We read the end of step 9 and the beginning of tradition 10. I had to read and share a short time after arriving and with little meditation on the topic. I did ok but I had to wonder just how helpful it is to read so often about the traditions.

This evening I got to colect firewood on the way home, I got to swing the little ones on their playset, I got to throw passes with the older boys, and I got to eat a great dinner that my wife made.

Thanks be to God.
