This Thursday morning I had a better go of it although I was still a little sick.  I just realized that I got better throughout this day not worse, thanks be to God. 

I got to go sign up my kids for summer camp today.  I had to go to an office in a part of downtown that I hadn't been to in a long time.  It had changed a lot since then and I had a pleasant time seeing the sights.   When I went in the office the lady that registered me was an old acquaintance from high school.  We had a nice conversation about old friends.  Afterward it occured to me that I never felt uncomfortable in talking about my request for financial assistance.  This is something that I should not take lightly.

I also got some other financial errands done.

In the evening I got to go to a meeting.  Our topic was step 12.  As I prepared to speak my thoughts were all over the place.  There were only a few of us so they called on me.  I was at a moment where I was thinking about a lot of things and couldn't remember how I planned to start.  I had an awkward silence and then  talked about the importance of just focusing on carrying the message somehow and not worrying about whether or not I am sponrsoring, they will come.  I was disappointed on how poorly I shared pulling out old worn out stories.  But looking back I realize it wasn't that bad.

When I got home I read an aphorism Beware the man of one book.

Thanks be to God.
