that helps to fix the principles of recovery in my mind and heart.
and perhaps that is why i am so consistent in writing this little ditty on a daily basis. today would have been a day to skip and i have had better starts to my day. yes i am clean and yes i can meet my responsibilities today but the way the morning has gone i want to go back to bed and hide from the world. my main computer is broke because i was impatient with a process and perhaps it will work by the time i get done writing this. or maybe i will be formatting and starting over, either way i have to accept that things are how they are and let go of the outcomes.
so what else do i need to write about, bunches of stuff i am sure, like how to help my sponsee in jail accept that he is where he is because he chose to turn his back on a spiritual principle or three. or how i am going to get all the work done i need to before leaving for service on friday, especially since i have to get my main box up and running. that to will be what it will be.
so off to face the consequences of my behaviors and see what i can get accomplished today.

3) If this transformation became to me an object of desire, I would
express the desire by the nameless simplicity.
Simplicity without a name
Is free from all external aim.
With no desire, at rest and still,
All things go right as of their will.
