We are responsible for the effort, not the outcome. ~Unknown (to me)
Today I am grateful...
- for the steroid and antibiotic drops the ENT prescribed. I will return after the infection has subsided for them to take a further look and a hearing test. This is a condition I have had for a very long time, and I guess God is giving me a chance to remedy it.
- for a long and exhausting day of work yesterday. 9AM-7PM and then some work with drunks until 9PM.
- that I got a good nights sleep
- that today I am stuffy-headed but spirits are flying high
- that today I am willing to take a step past where I have been stuck
Like a loud alarm clock, the First Step brings us to semi consciousness—although at this point, we may not be sure whether we want to climb out of bed or maybe sleep for just five more minutes. The gentle hand shaking our shoulders as we apply the Second and Third Steps causes us to stand up, stretch, and yawn. We need to wipe the sleep from our eyes to write the Fourth Step and share our Fifth. But as we work the Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Steps, we begin noticing a spring in our step and the start of a smile on our lips. Our spirits sing in the shower as we take the Tenth and Eleventh Steps. And then we practice the Twelfth, leaving the house in search of others to awaken. ~NA Just for Today

Wow, very thoughtful post!
Happy HNT!!! I havent posted yet either. I am glad to read that you are in good spirits even though you dont feel good
I don't feel badly. It's just that it has been an ongoing concern for years, that I have an ongoing low grade ear infection.
Ten four on the good night's sleep.
I'm looking forward to one tonight!
