•Barkley’s eyelashes (!?)
•How all Barkley’s little noises make my home feel so much more cozy and alive.
•Baby pictures of Barkley.
•Being able to talk with another man about the program, God, and spirituality in public without being ashamed or fearful of judgement.
•The opportunity to help another man work the steps.
•My knowledgeable and compassionate therapist.
•Hearing John from the 4:30 share his story at the nooner yesterday. He is a powerful example of “no reservation of any kind.”
•The feeling I get (almost confused, but honored) when men I look up to in the program and in life reach out to me for advice on living a happy and useful life.
•That I was taught to put in the leg work but to get out of the outcomes business. It provides a sense of accomplishment and freedom simultaneously.
•Friends who celebrate each others accomplishments.
God, thank you for my life.
