This morning I was pleased to wake up on time and have time to pray and meditate before everyone woke up.

I was glad that I thought about not griping at the kids impulsively but I still did it a little. I was home with the kids all day and felt very isolated. I was disappointed that I never made some calls and call backs that I had planned in the morning. I didn't speak to anyone in the 12 step fellowship today. I should have made a better effort at this.

I thought about meditation today as daily planning, spiritual planning that is. I thought about how life shouldn't be undisciplined and that morning meditation is time to re-center and plan to live spiritually and plan to keep the days activities in order.

I was getting my thoughts in order as I put the kids to bed and I was trying to get my computer to work when my wife came in and started talking to me. I was kind of short with her as I moved to the bedroom for focus. she didn't really understand.

I wish I could remember all that I was thinking about today but once again the clamor of life has distracted me.

Thanks be to God for this day.
