This Saturday my son and I had baseball tryouts.  I was kinda nervous about my role as pitcher.  I was afraid that I would not do a good job in front of everyone in the league.  I was also worried that my son was not well prepared.  I took my son to do a little batting practice beforehand and we made it to the ballpark on time.  All went well.  My son got to go fifth in line and he hit on of his swings and he caught all of his balls.  I was off and on in pitching but did ok.  I only hit one kid and another hit his fingers. I was thankful for a healthy spirit to get through all the little anxieties. I was grateful for the ability to contribute.

I didn't get a chance to do school work and I was anxious and resentful that I would be doing it on the last day before the deadline.

In the evening I took the kids to get flowers and candy for my wife for Valentine's Day.  We had a crazy but fun time.  I caught myself getting to gripey at the cash register and had to resist.  We went by the 12 step club for the valentine's dance afterward but they were having their meeting and I was too worn out to stay so we went home.

Thanks be to God.
