Last night at the end of the day we had a bad storm with a possible tornado. I was preoccupied with this and did not write a review.

The first half of the day I felt sluggish and had a headache all morning. I was actually relieved that my symptoms were persistent as it confirmed that I was not just lazy.

It was the 9th anniversary of our marriage. Under the current circumstances my wife and I couldn't do anything special for each other but she arranged for my mom to babysit while we went to a movie. I wasn't very enthusiastic as I found myself despondent about our circumstances. But, the movie proved to be very uplifting as a repetitive theme throughout it was people becoming great in unlikely circumstances.

I shared about this using an experience with my parents that I often refer to. But afterward I was disappointed that this didn't seem to fit quite right.

In the evening I got to go to a meeting. The reading was the home in turmoil and the long period of reconstruction ahead. This was something that I had been thinking about all morning. This is what makes the amends process different than all the apologies of the past, that the focus is on true amending not just the superficial apologies of past failed sobriety or self-centered motives.

This morning I woke up on time, in good spirits, and we got off to a good start.
I got to attend my son's magic camp final show.
I got to spend time with my parents.
I got to comment to a blog.

Thanks be to God.
