Wow, what a lightning storm last night! Scary but awesome at the same time. That's one heck of a Power out there!

I had an incredible day yesterday...so much to be grateful for.

Fishing on the lake...just me, my boat, rod, & nature.
Swimming with the kids...chasing them around, splashing each other.
Speaker meeting last night...listening to a friend's story...the anguish, recovery, and grace.

And today is another day...I don't know what's in store but I'm sure it will be just fine.

Grateful that I made it thru another day sober, and managed to get some chores done that I'd been neglecting. Grateful it's almost bedtime with my doggies.

Grateful for a call from my sponsor last night. I'm doing well but he needed to talk. It's nice to be there for others.
