This morning I helped my younger son get off to a good start by waking up early. I also got to pick him up at school. I love his enthusiasm when he sees me. He told me that he wants me to pick him up every day.

Today I thought some about the idea that the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions is incongruous with the Big Book. I found it on a web site and even read about the same sentiment there. After looking at this some more I can't find any reason to think so. I think it actually just expands on it some especially in the area of character defects.

I didn't feel like I accomplished anything today as I was mostly taking care of the kids. I don't feel real bad about this but I did have to turn away from fear at times. But I did get to have a relaxing day and just take it easy.

Before it got hot I got to mow the front lawn.
I got to stand in the shade and water the grass.
I got to push my daughters on their swings for as long as they wanted.
I got to practice tossing washers.
I got to clean the kitchen.
I got to take an afternoon nap.
I got to read about psychology, meditation, and eastern religions.
I got to do origami with my son.

Tomorrow I plan to clean the fridge.
I can edge the yard.
I can visit friends and go to a meeting during the day.
I can trim branches.
I can evaluate some electronics for resale.
I can clean the windows and dust.
I can shampoo the chairs.
I can sand and stain the deck.
I can print and compile a step-work manual.
I can solve my blog issues.

Thanks be to God.
