This morning when I woke up I found myself thinking ahead to the day ahead and to tomorrow and all over the place.  I had to stop and make a concerted effort to come back to the present.  The rest of the day I was able to stay in the place where I was at.

When I got to my first class I presented the work I had done to the small group of my class mates assigned to review one of the stages of human development.  I found myself having to make an effort to resist a prideful attitude.  I was grateful for the awareness of this because  when my class mates started talking and the professor began giving her analysis I realized that I lacked understanding and missed some key concepts.  I then had to resist letting it bother me.

I arrived early for my next class and ran into some classmates in the lounge.  We had an interesting conversation with one asking questions about counseling.  During the conversation the other guy broke out into his story.  He was talking loudly and I saw people all around looking and listening.  I felt bad for the guy and saw how important it is to go to meetings and get to share this appropriately.

This evening I briefly spoke to my friend who is going through a crisis.  He called me at a very busy time and asked me to unlock the 12 step club.  I wish that I would have been able to speak to him more but it was good to hear his voice.

Thanks be to God.
