This Wednesday morning I had a little trouble waking and resolved to get to bed earlier. Nevertheless I did get a decent start with prayer for character development.
I got some effective work done on my ethics final done and received a good grade on my addictions presentation. I did however fell some disappointment that I can't put in the time and focus to achieve the quality of work that I would like. I chose to practice acceptance and gratitude for the quality of work that I DO get to achieve. I also thought about how well I am able to work on subjects in the scope of my interest and motivation as opposed to those that I am not passionate about. I experienced flow in working on my papers.
I got to go to a meeting at noon. It was a meeting downtown, one block away from the capital. It was a place that I desired to go in the 2 years that I worked downtown but never made because it was just a little too far away to walk and be back on time to work. I was glad that I kept this duty and that I was able to support the group that I did during that time.
The meeting is in a very nice room, in a nice setting, with a great group of people. It was also a nice walk three blocks from school. The daily reflection was read on step five (confession to a fellow) and then a topic on the evening review with an emphasis on tolerance. I didn't really like the fact that there seemed to be two topics. Thinking back to it now, I bet it came out of a member request. I thought about how step 5 is related to the first part of the second step. I should make this an entry in spiritus contra spiritum. Going to this meeting was a wonderful experience and I look forward to attending again.
I got talk to a friend about resentments and tolerance in the afternoon.
I got to do some yard work and play ball with the kids outside in the evening.
Thanks be to God.
