Discovered a New Addiction

By N

The title says it all.

One of my core addictions is staying up too late.

I justify it, especially recently, since I’ve been working on projects. Justification is never a legitimate excuse though.

I really want to get to the point where I go to bed early and get up early. Just not sure how to break this on-going chain of staying up so late and then being tired all day the next day, which leads to anger, short-temperament, letting down my guard, etc.

I am looking forward to working on a fairly new task of posting an answer to a question once a day in the morning and things I’m grateful for in the evening.

Things I’m grateful for today:

  • That I controlled my temper while playing church basketball
  • That I didn’t get frustrated with Will
  • Being able to spend time with the kids while Becky went to the YW Conference
  • Having a fairly good and patient attitude with them
  • Learning how to make landing pages in WordPress and then applying that to the new venture
  • That Becky serves diligently in her calling
  • That I’ll get to spend more quality time tomorrow with the kids before and after church while Becky is at meetings
  • That I was able to remember another thing to add to my inventory

Tomorrow I hope to schedule my interview with the Bishop to start Step 5.

Until then!

Nate
