This morning we rose fairly early in keeping with my plans for this week.  The kids are home again for this last week of summer and I want to keep them active and on schedule for school next week.

Around noon I had to practice patience as my wife had friends visit.  My house was full of people when I didn't really want it to be.

I did some batting practice with my oldest son and I cleaned the area in the back corner of my yard behind the fence to park our boat.  I am journaling this because I felt aimless and unproductive later in the day but it was not true.  I also had to do a lot of cleaning and cooking as my wife didn't rise with us in the morning.

I did feel some fatigue and took a long nap in the afternoon.  I think I may have a bug as I have had some congestion the past two nights.  Again I log this so that I don't overdo the sense of not doing enough.

I had to watch for the arousal of resentment today when reviewing the deed restriction violation of having my boat parked in the yard on the side of the house which I received from our neighborhood management services.  I am grateful to have a house.  I think I need to sell the boat.

Over the past few days I thought some again about the problem of the will.  I've had some ideas about this that I believe to be at the core of the addiction problem.  I believe it to be the main reason why the 12 step program is so effective.  The right words finally came the other day.  But now I can't remember them.

Thanks be to God for this day.
