Today I felt aimless much of the day. I felt like I couldn't commit to a clear cut task because my daughter came home from school and I was babysitting much of the time. Perhaps it would be good to list the things that I did get to do so that I can appreciate my usefulness.

I got to look for some jobs and log them. I got to reply to a response and get the practice of interacting with a prospective employer.
I got to troubleshoot a website for my wife's employer.
I got to read and study about morality, ethics, and religion.
I got to help my son do his book report.
I got to help feed, dress, change and entertain my kids.
I got to keep up and clean our house.
I got to pray with my son.

In the afternoon my mom called and told me that my sister is ill. I pray that God will help her through this and that she can find faith also.

In the evening I got to go to a meeting that I don't usually go to. I got to speak to a guy that I hadn't seen in a while and he got me caught up about a friend who is in the hospital. I felt selfish for not having kept in contact. A guy there told me that he heard me speaking about and that he remembered me from 2 years ago.

Today there were several moments that my son sensed my irritability and he extended an embrace and encouragement even though I was correcting him. He made me proud that he is learning good character. Tonight before prayers he told me that I was the best and gave me a pat on the back.

Thanks be to God.
