morning has broken...

Up and at 'em, on my way to Rotary to begin this beautiful Tuesday morning!

I arise full of gratitude for my sobriety and my health. I can hear the beginnings of another busy day as my wife's alarm rings, and Ian stirs, still half-asleep. Cosmo delivers her usual lady-like, post-breakfast belch in the cool quiet of our home. Summer is a busy time for us, with baseball, swim team, my wife's Yoga classes and all the work-related nonsense I have going on. But, it's my favorite time of year, especially when we hit a dry, mild stretch where we have no humidity, and high temps in the 70's.

Today right now, I feel at peace knowing that no matter what, everything is going to be ok. I am in God's care, I am sober, I have family and friends to share this life with and I feel good physically. I pray that I might seek and do God's will, whatever that might be. I pray that God might provide me the opportunity to help someone and get out of myself.

Today, like everyday is a good day, and I pray that you all enjoy a day filled with peace, belonging, accomplishment, love and giving. It is good to be sober today.

Nice. I am working on being less busy these days. Nonetheless, there is much to do. Wish that we had temps in the 70's and low humidity. Not so here.
