Morning everyone,1st day of New Year ,back to work  business of the holidays are over and time to settle back in and move forward.Please sit we me for a minute as I reflect on a friend of 30 years,I worked with,passed on New Years eve,heartattack at 59(boss called me at home)...Tonight we also find out if my 24 year old going to jail for probation violation,60 days or if sanctioned,county year(8 months) We are powerless over any of the situations and  as I pray and meditate each morning before rising on our 3rd/11th step so today I will ensure that I will put my meditations and prayer in action ,trust the will and results of my Higher Power and know that life will continue to show up and with God for us,nothing can be against us.There have been many mixed emotions going on through the holidays but above all,I will trust in the plan of my Higher Power.We had some good quality time with my son and his girlfriend through the period and I have great memories of my friend and we shared much joy in our little time together.Today I say"God if there is something you would like me to do,then please say it.it doesn't matter what ,I'll do it!!I'll get out of the way and listen carefully for His answer.Thanks to a life lived in recovery,God centered, and based on "putting spiritual priciples" taught from our program Narcotics Anonymous,as a parent ,a friend,husband,father,son employee etc,I may have anxieties but my faith will shine through.I have been blessed to have regained most of my strength from my illness I had a month ago and not only physically but spiritually I am ready to do some "work"Talk to you tomorrow if so granted........ Have a blessed and productive day..
