This Friday I found myself worrying about a multitude of things all at once.  It was around 10:30 am just at the time of day when I am typically in my most attuned state of mind.   I was worried about staying on task.  I was anxious about math homework.  I was worried about the presentation paper that I must write.   I was worried about not doing 12 step work.  I was worried about making appointments and getting important tasks done this day.  I was worried about making the wrong choice and stopping at the thrift store.  I was worried about scheduling and the Knights of Columbus wives dinner on Sunday night.  I was worried about being isolated due to having to care for my kids.  I was worried about preparing for baseball games this weekend.  I was worried about my house being a mess and the yard work that needs to be done and bulky pick up that needs to be put out and the cars need to be washed and whether or not the bank would let me make a withdrawal, etc.

I am not sure if these are all the things that I was worried about but I wanted to make a special effort to remember this because I struggle to think of true feelings to review in my evening reviews.  Lately it seems that I have just been journaling events of the day rather than my true states of mind or spirit.

I got to have a wonderful lunch at a restaurant with my daughter on her insistence.  She saw a restaurant patio and said "Daddy I wan't to eat I am hungry.  I want to eat at a pink restaurant like that one."  I found a Mexican restaurant that suited her because it had some pink in the decor and she liked the palm trees.  We had a nice Lenten lunch of cheese enchiladas and a grilled cheese sandwich.

I got to go to a meeting in the evening.  We talked about the second half o step twelve.  As usual I was on good track with my thoughts but when I shared I got side tracked a little and was disappointed.  But it kept me thinking about the application of the work in all areas of my life.

I had a discussion with a guy after the meeting that really got me thinking about taking spiritual initiative and the spiritual lead in couples relationships.

Thanks be to God.
