Today I picked up an extra shift at work, which turned out to be a good thing. Made some ok money and sold $250 in Holiday gift cards. that's more than I had previously sold and puts me back on the positive radar.
Anyways...it was Dad's 60th today. Just did a simple dinner with Dad, Brothers and nephew Seth. It was good to be with the boys. When we went to eat dinner I for some reason felt compelled to do a prayer. I've been praying on my own when I wake, sleep and eat food, but haven't done it out loud since I was in high school maybe. I didn't do it for religious reasons, just felt it would be right to bring the family together and to feel a connection with life around us and to be thankful for the things that we have.
With this process of quitting smoking and drinking, my life has obviously changed into the life I have wanted for a long time. A life where I am me, and seek the things that have meaning to me. It feels good to be a part of my life again and to feel the benefits of giving a shit and working towards the present and the future.
On to the next day. I plan a workout at the gym and then work. I also need to think about something I can do for everyone as Christmas presents.
