nourishment

God, I offer myself to Thee to build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self that I may better do Thy Will. Take away my difficulties that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of Life. May I do Thy Will always.

Oh, that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would always be with me, and that You would keep me from evil.

Thank You for keeping me sober today. Amen.

It is the nature of an hypothesis, when once a man has conceived it, that it assimulates every thing to itself as proper nourishment; and, from the first moment of your begetting it, it generally grows the stronger by every thing you see, hear, read, or understand. This is of great use. -- Laurence Sterne, The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman

On the tree, Future, we build our nest; and in our solitude eagles shall bring us nourishment in their beaks! -- Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

... most bereaved souls crave nourishment more tangible than prayers: they want a steak. What is more, they need a steak. Preferably they need it rare, grilled, heavily salted, for that way it is most easily digested, and most quickly turned into the glandular whip their tired adrenals cry for. -- M.F.K. Fisher, An Alphabet for Gourmets

Yesterday was a good day even though I didn't feel so great when I awoke. I met with Kyle and finished preparing the correcting entry for A/P. We reviewed a few of the items about which I had questions, and then I was done. I began looking at the November and December transactions and should be completely done by tomorrow.

After work, I came by home to retrieve my wallet I had left here yesterday and headed up to the six o'clock AA meeting at Lambda which John led on Step Two. I was especially glad to see David and Carrie there. After work, I went by the grocery store and made it home in time to watch The West Wing. I began defrosting the chicken and ended up making both a White Cheese Chicken Lasagna and Crab Ravigote so I have some things to take to lunch.

Joe called and sounds so much better. I really look forward to seeing him again. I separated the money I collected at Lambda last night and should have it counted this evening. I just updated my task list for today and emailed my parents, my sister-in-law, and my Uncle Hal to give them directions to meet to look at condos on Saturday. It feels so good to be productive.
