Steps 1 - 3

Today in the Al-Anon meeting somebody said, "I can't do it, God can and I let him."  Those are the first three steps.  So simple.  I just wanted to write it down so that I don't forget it.

I also had a poetic experience this morning running.  I started worrying, again, about doing my 5K at Shannon on October 5.  I got so caught up in the worry that I passed my turn.  Later I thought about how illustrative that was that when I let worry get the best of me, I lose track of where I am and where I am going.  I went back to focusing on my breathing, the music and what a great job I have done at learning to run.  I really should be in the moment appreciating the fact that God gave me the ability and very few aches and pains so that at age 48 I can run.  At age 48, I may just be able to run a 5K.  I sure am going to give it my best.

Today, I wanted to get Bibianna an iPhone 5S and we had to order one. It will be 3 to 4 weeks before it gets here.  I guess Apple didn't aptly anticipate how popular the 5S would be.  Bibianna was quite upset, but as I told her, there isn't a thing she can do about this fact.

Last night for on-call.  It's been a good week but I am ready to hand over that pager tomorrow at noon.  By the way, I ran my second 30 minute run today.  Didn't go quite as far or quite as fast as I did yesterday but I had 3 13 min/miles and I am very happy.
