This morning I thought about amends out of the blue. It occurred to me that amends for the recovered alcoholic are a continuing process. Most of us have made endless apologies and pay backs. But, the amend for the recipient may only be able to take place with continued sobriety.

It was a long day in which I had to watch the kids most of the day. I started one of my home improvement projects today. I realized that I have a lot more patience for these things than I used to. In the past I would have insisted on diving into it and not stopping until it was finished. But now I am willing to do a little at a time.

Thanks be to God for this day.
