I got to go to the noon meeting. We read from the chapter on Step 2 in the Twelve and Twelve. I tried to be concise and limit my sharing to the 5 minute time frame. I listened to the mass tonight and was amazed at how Bishop Aymond was able to give a thoughtful but concise homily in less time. I am going to strive for this.

Tonight my son and I had baseball practice. I found myself having to set aside my unrealized expectations to see the positives.

Tonight I griped at my wife and had to make amends. Ironically I griped at her for griping at the kids. My criticism would have been ok if I would have remained sober. I lost my objectivity and therefore did no better. I am glad to see this though and to learn again.

Thanks be to God.
