This morning I had a hard time waking up and so did the kids. I got resentful at my wife for keeping them up too late.

Most of the morning I felt sluggish and sullen. I'm not sure what that was about but I am sure that it was some form of self. I felt a lot better in the evening.

I got to talk to a friend in recovery for a while in the morning. We talked about being careful with sudden revelations.

Today while updating my career networking profile I had a revelation to pursue a particular career path. I talked to my wife about it and decided to go to school. During our discussion she raised some points that were valid but I have been opposed to for a long time. This caused some emotional dissonance in me and while she talked all I could here was her gum smacking. I could barely hold myself together but I did. I was at the same time disappointed in myself and pleased that I made it through until my attitude changed.

This evening I responded to a friend's post about religion. I had spoken to my wife about it and she expressed the opinion that I had always held that it is better to avoid these discussions. When I read it I knew that this had changed for me. It is my job to respond with kindness and respect.

I got to pray with my children tonight.

Thanks be to God.
