This Thursday morning I woke up from a dream that I was having an affair. I don't like these dreams and this one was particuarly disturbing because it was long and detailed.

I wondered if I had missed a spiritual step that resulted in this disturbance and I immediately connected this to the missed inventory and prayer Thursday night.

I took inventory at mid morning. I realized that although I had a great day yesterday in which I had received blessings and graces from God I had moments when I had been afraid, resentful, and selfish where I could have done better.

I got to go to the noon meeting, we talked about tradition 4 and step 5. I made a connection between the two in the principle of humility in a pragmatic sense.

On the way back to work the shuttle bus to the county jail passed by and I had a moment of deep gratitude.

We had a huge problem at work today that set me way behind. At the end of the day I was furiously trying to get out of work to get my son to baseball practice early.

A customer called me and asked if I had time for several questions. I was immediately afraid and resentful that I wouldn't get out on time. The call went longer than I expected on top of that. I resolved to turn away from my resentment and be gracious. I turned to God afterward for acceptance. I made it out of work on time.

I made it to the ballfield early and it was a good thing because the fields were packed and another team tried to take our field.
