This Friday I didn't got out of bed and get going until mid morning. Even then I was groggy and not really ready to go.  I was disappointed with myself for this.  I did however wake up on time and pray.

I never really did get very productive other than feeding and attending to the kids.   My wife sent me on an errand early that was not necessary but it did me some good to get out into the world.

I tried to fix my weed eater so I could finish some yard work but was not very successful although I did get part of the work done.
I tried to work through some home work but only got a chapter and practice exercises done.
I tried to talk to my visiting niece about mental health and good character but didn't feel very successful.
I tried to get the kids to play outside and didn't think that I succeeded so I took them to the park in the evening.
I read about Lindsay Lohan and wanted to go to a 12 step meeting but felt obligated to stay with the kids.
I felt anxious, worried, and fearful about school, finances, and my sobriety today.

While I was at the park pushing my daughters on the swings, the youngest one said "Daddy, I love this day."   She went on, "I love this park, I love you, I love my sister and brothers."

Thanks be to God for a change of attitude.

P.S. I realized later that on Thursday I had symptoms of a respiratory virus.  So I know now that I overslept because my body was recovering.  Again, thanks to God for the insight that helped me further to get back to a positive outlook.
