Progress, not perfection… No matter how long you have been in recovery, no matter how long you have worked the steps, you will never raise above the level of human being. ~Pocket Sponsor
Today I am feeling the above. There is nothing wrong in my life. There are no bumps in the road today. I am floating down the middle of the stream on my back, sun shining on me. Yet I am restless. I have experienced this several times in sobriety, that days of easy living leaves me feeling like something is akilter/askew/akimbo. It is that I am not used to having those back-to-back days with no ups or downs.
Yesterday I had to break my routine. So I went in search fellow alcoholics. Met Boston and Beau at Nidda Thai restaurant for a delightful lunch, then back to the Kolache Kafe for coffee and socialization.
Today I am still in the middle of the stream and I'll hit a noon meeting, go see KM about some business, come home and take a little nap and have dinner with J&R. I have no complaints, just a lot of gratitude.

Interesting.
We both broke our "routine" yesterday.
But I wasn't akilter,askew or akimbo. I was a baseball fan.
Well it seems like you are doing all the right things.
I love you and I see you,

We seek balance yet some how gravitate to imbalance -- it feels normal at times. You are in action, providing a remedy this place you are at right now, totally awesome.
What a wonderfully peaceful day you are having floating down the stream. I am on the tube over there to your left - enjoying myself and hanging onto the tree that hangs over the river... catching a few rays and people watching.
I am enjoying this ride on the river too and hope that I enjoy it enough to make it through the rapids up ahead. I can't see them yet... I can hear them though.
Take gentle care, Meg
you still have time.
Dave, time for...?
I am glad today that I dont have to be perfect... whew!
