and thoughtful action, may just give me all i need to get through today without injuring myself or anyone else. one small bitch before i get cranking, if i was choosing the headline for this source material i might have user “being present, thoughtful action.” it may not sound as “catchy” but it certainly sums up the content a whole lot better. be that as it ma7y, i get the point that was being made: if i take the time to be aware of my feelings and the reactions i am having, i may just be able to CHOOSE to behave in a manner more fitting to the person i am becoming. when i stay in the here and now, i get to allow myself to be a better person.

Congrats on FORTY-FIVE (XLV) years clean.

this morning, as i consider what i am going to do for the day, i found myself wishing that my friend would cancel our little jaunt around the neighborhood over in Boulder, as i have some things to do and yes of course way more time than i need to do them, but the addict in me wants more time to get them done. i know how ridiculous that sounds and just for day, i can see what a nut case that sort of thinking really is, it is all about me and having more time to do nothing at all.
what really struck me as i walked this morning, was how much in the future i was being, even if that future is just a few hours from now. there really is nothing stopping me from getting my stuff done as well ad taking care of myself by going to my home group and walking with my friend. my taxes are history, i finished my work for the week for my job, and my significant other is spending the day being a part of her grandson's life. i do have a plan and if i do not accomplish all those tasks i know it will not create a hole in the space-time continuum. right here and right now, i can let go of what i will be doing later and see what is happening in the here and now, otherwise i may miss out on an opportunity to get what i need, just for today.
