Last night I didn't get to sleep until late even though I thought I was getting to bed early. This morning I had a hard time getting up. Then I was afraid that I was in for a long day because we have practice and concession duty this evening. I tried to keep an open mind and remember that God has a way of solving my seemingly insurmountable circumstances in a way that i can never see beforehand.

At work I was steadily busy all day. I am grateful that I was able to handle the potential pitfalls and minefields that came up.

I got to go to the meeting at noon. Once again I questioned going for no apparent reason. As I stepped out on the street corner there was a stiff almost cool breeze. I enjoyed it for a moment then I thought about how the hot, humid, oppressive summer is starting and I had a feeling of dread. I immediately recognized my old resentment and discontent over the stupid weather. I thought of what's truly important in life and I gave it to God. My new perspective and gratitude immediately returned and the old resentment was gone.

At the meeting we read about step 10 and emotional sobriety.

After work I got to talked to some relatives about their family member in early recovery.

This evening when my wife offered to do the concession duty and the coach offered to let me drop my son off at practice and to bring him home. I got to stay home with the kids and they all got bathed and off to bed early. It was my easiest and most gratifying evening of the week.

Amazing how God has a way of solving my seemingly insurmountable circumstances in a way that i can never see beforehand.

Thanks be to God.
