This morning we woke up to an idyllic snowscape.  It was a lot of fun for the kids.  But I had to catch my grouchiness several times and turn it over.  I kept getting frustrated at the endless demands to get them properly dressed, then fed, then dried off, etc.   I had to turn over my moments of resentment and self pity.  It worked and I was able to enjoy the morning.

I tried to get somewhat caught up on my daily ledgers.  I had notes written down in between my school work.  I have been worried about not doing my spiritual exercises.  I am also worried about not not staying connected with friends and sponsees in recovery.

I thought some about the reasons for my choice of career.  I thought about some of the steps of helping break people's evasion and denial.  I thought about the steps before the steps.  I thought about helping people who are not addicted but are chemically dependent to see that they might be on the way to addiction.  I thought about promoting sobriety as a great way to live regardless if you need to or not.  I thought about helping people who are not addicted to see the virtues of self-examination, super-centeredness, and real communication in relationships.

I completed 2 chapters in math today and am getting closer to being back on track.

Thanks be to God.
