I am grateful that I made it to work on time today.
I am grateful for resourcefulness and initiative today.
I am grateful for finally being able to type properly and at a reasonable speed.

In the morning I took a walk to the downtown. It occurred to me that I don't pay enough attention to the climate spectrum. It was cool but not cold and I had short sleeves and no undershirt. I was slightly uncomfortable but in a way that was just a discomfort not threatening. I enjoyed the brisk air and thought of it as a gift from God.

At noon I went to the meeting. On the way I thought about how I see meetings as my job in service to God. We read about step 6 and tradition 6 from the twelve and twelve.

I thought about how in the past I had been a bankrupt idealist. Today I get to live up to worthwhile ideals.

I took a personality type survey this morning that explained a lot of things and gave me some great ideas about living with people who are different than me.

Tonight I got to go to my son's school presentation and watch him dance. It was glorious. I was grateful to connect to some parents that I know and to feel like part of the community.

There was a moment today when I spoke to a friend and in my enthusiasm I went on a rant about some people who have not lived up to my expectations. I engaged in polite character assassination. I stole some of their reputation while they were not present. For this I am very sorry. I wish that I could take it back.
