Serenity level for yesterday was ? POLL -- Part 2

What is Recovery?
Well, most would say that achieving a point of serenity is important.
This thread may help me and others to examine ourselves ?

A nice calm sober day wished for all,

Serenity level was pretty good for yesterday ------- 90% ??

I fight with this issue of serenity -- thus the reason for the thread.

Would like to hit another 90% today -- Mon -- we will see ??

My serenity level is very high also.

I have been praying hard, but not doing meditation and not doing enough BB and other spiritual reading.

Good topic.

My serenity today is 100%. I just took Billie to McDonald's for a tiny little doggie ice cream cone. It was free and just the right size for a small dog. I get my happiness from making my dogs happy.

(Jack did not go, as he hates riding in the car and also, is overweight and can't have ice cream)

I'll give yesterday 95%.

I think it to be hard for me to hit 100%.
That's like perfect and even on a good day I fall a little short.

A nice sober day wished for all,

I guess I'm just easy to please cause just waking up to see my dogs on the bed with me gives me 100% serenity first thing of the day.

My two dogs are usually near me. Billie, because she's in house training right now, and Jack, just out of love. I think once Billie's off the leash she will choose to stay close to me for love also.

I treasure the time spent with my dogs and cats. They enrich my life so much.

Yes, spend more time with your dogs. They'll pay you back for it 100 fold.

WRONG!! She got loose from her collar and went straight to the cat box!! I guess she loves the litter box more than me. That is not good for my serenity.

Serenity level yesterday was riding at around 95%.

until I had to deal with Dish TV repair on the phone.

Think that brought me down to about 75% for the day.

Going with my wife today to the Del Mar County Fair.

Hoping to keep serenity level very, very high today.

A nice sober day wished for all,
M-Bob

I'll give yesterday 97% serenity rating.
Excellent, for I don't get there very often.
Today's also been pretty calm -- so far.
Will see how I do at the finish of the day.

A nice sober day wished for all,

As I look back on yesterday I'm thinking 99% ?

That's about as good as it gets up top the mountain.

Our pets undoubtedly enhance my serenity level.

We have cats, a Schnauzer, donkeys and cattle (some of which are actually pets).

My serenity level was just great... until I came back to the car with Billie's little ice cream cone and found that she had slipped her harness and was loose in the car! I am blessed that she didn't jump out the open windows.

She still got her ice cream tho.

Looking back on yesterday, thinking my serenity averaged out to 95%.

Today we'll see if I can keep it there again.
We are dropping the wife's truck off for maintenance
and then to lunch and the Costco Store.

I'm not a big shopper but, I will (try) to enjoy it.

Maybe take some pleasure from the fact that my wife enjoys it ?

Stay out of self today.

A nice sober day wished for all,
M-Bob
