I’m writing this on Day 31 but am going to publish it on Day 30. I’ve started Step 4 and have been working on a detailed spreadsheet – this is why I haven’t been posting answers to questions here (and it looks like I won’t be for awhile). Step 4 is a big step – […]
My Gratitude Journal – Day 29
Today was a hard day. Luckily, it wasn’t hard from an addiction standpoint, but I know that my feelings can be a core issue that I need to always be aware of. I felt a few things today: Anger – because BYU lost and because I’d put my biggest points on them to win with […]
My Gratitude Journal – Day 27
Today was a pretty good day. Got to sleep in a little bit while the kids watched cartoons. Then we got up and I started step work. Today’s step work was quite long. As I was working on the step work, the kids were being crazy and I could tell Becky was getting a little […]
My Gratitude Journal – Day 26
Today was a good day. Fridays are usually a bit more laid back and slow with work, which is nice. I played basketball this morning and then came home to help get the kids ready for school. I took them to school too, which was fun. Then I did my step work. I’m grateful for […]
My Gratitude Journal – Day 24
I’m grateful today is over. It wasn’t a bad day, just a long one and it ended harder than I like days to end. How I felt the hand of the Lord today: I closed the Marie deal and she paid half instead of 25%, which was a surprise. I got an email from BR […]
My Gratitude Journal – Day 23
This journal entry will be short because it’s late. But I had a great talk tonight with Becky about how things are going, about submitting ones will to God, and about how my meeting with Gordan went today. First, my meeting with Gordan went fine. We talked about my recovery and a lot about my […]
My Gratitude Journal – Day 22
Today was a great day. I woke up early, played basketball, came back, worked on Step 3, got cleaned up, and went to work. I’ve noticed that this step, Step 3, is quite a bit longer than the other steps so far. Definitely will need to dedicate time to working it thoroughly. I’m grateful that […]
My Gratitude Journal – Day 21
Today was a good day. We were in Idaho for Mom and Dad’s welcome home from their mission to the Nauvoo Temple. It was good to hear them speak and be there to support them. Some of the things I remember about their talks: Mom’s Talk: she talked about being assigned a new temple president […]
My Gratitude Journal – Day 20
Today has been a pretty good day. We got up, packed, and headed to Idaho for Mom and Dad’s mission welcome home. It was a pretty clear drive, just a little rain and no snow. Becky has been having a hard time yesterday and part of today I feel. Last night we watched a movie […]
My Gratitude Journal – Day 19
Friday nights can be crazy: we have our four kids plus our friends four kids at our house and it can get out of control. Luckily it didn’t go too bad tonight. I am really really tired though and am sitting here in bed snoozing off. Becky and I just did the ARIOUS and she’s […]
