Today I felt a lot better in the morning and never did feel sick all day.  I got to go to my son's Track and Field day.  I enjoy the time I got to spend with him and his friends.  We went from event to event and they did really well at them all.  I had to scold my son several times and I realized that I reacted too temperamentally.  I need to control my anger more and not let it ruin the experience that my son and I get to share.

I was grateful to get the kids together and pray this morning.
I enjoyed my bike ride to and from the school.
I got to go to the thrift store in another part of town.
I got to go to the college bookstore downtown and get a book.
I got to go to the baseball field and pick up my son's team picture.

I went to a gas station to meet a guy for a school book in the afternoon.  As I was waiting it felt like a dope deal. The thoughts that came to mind were of the dysfunction that my drug life had become.  Of how my addiction progressed to the point that I couldn't use the gas stations and bathrooms anymore because I was too paranoid. It became exceedingly difficult to manage all the contorted issues in that life.  I was grateful that I don't even want to think about the high today because I don't want to think about anything that would ruin the things that are important to me now.  I am grateful that normal things are important to me.

I got to go to a meeting tonight.

Thanks be to God.
