This morning it was hard to wake up again but I did get up and get the kids to school on time.  Also, I had a normal energy level and didn't feel terribly fatigued (although I was sore from the Wii) and I never had to take a nap.  I did vow to do my best to get to bed on time tonight and I plan to keep that shortly.

I got to talk to a friend in recovery today.  I talked alot about work related subjects of interest.  It was a helpful conversation to me because I seemed to recover a sense of professional capability that I seemed to have lost.  Afterward however I thought about how little I had to say about recovery and the spiritual life.  It was as if I lost some motivation or sense of being a recovered addict.

I had a moment of exhiliration this morning when I took a detour while on an errand.  I went to the top of a hill where a new road was built.  It is poised on the edge of plateau where a fault line causes a geographic uplift.  I viewed a panoramic vista of my region of the county that I hadn't ever seen before which is in a location that I have passed near for years.

This afternoon I spent some quality time practicing catching and throwing with my autistic son.  I realized that I needed to rehearse receiving the ball at first base and give him a chance to play that position this spring.  He still has problems with his coordination but also may just need to be motivated to execute.

I regretted spending too much money on dinner last night.
I regretted spending too much money on groceries today.
My wife and I argued once over some trivial matter but we cut it out and didn't stay sore.
I should have tried to go to a meeting today.

This evening I watched celebrity rehab. Watching addicts struggling in early recovery and watching addicts with some clean time talk to them really rejuvinated my passion for recovery.

Thanks be to God.
