•Natalie sending me an old video of Barkley as a puppy.
•Rachel being a constant source of love in my life for the last 31 years.
•Successful first day back at school. I love my teachers so far and have discovered the joys of taking notes on my laptop.
•Cell phones, laptops, text messages, email.
•Going to bed early last night and waking up rested.
•Barkley is thriving in his routine. I never had my own down well enough for him to have one before.
•My ability to be present. It’s through being present that I’m able to grow and evolve.
•When I become aware of a particular need, I have the opportunity to satisfy it in new and different ways.
•The fellowship of AA. I don’t have to do this alone. Like survivors on a life raft at sea, if we all work together, we can safely get to shore.
•Humility. I’m grateful that I stopped being so stubborn and started taking advice. I’m grateful that when I did my life started to change.
God, thank you for my life.
