Anniversary on the way...

This is my anniversary month. I cannot believe that five years have past since I finally got honest. So much has happened and I am not the man I was when I came in from the cold. School, travel, home life, friendship, fellowship, trust...All that stuff was a vague concern several years ago, yet like many of my type, I longed for it all. I have worked for it and earned it.

I read a good meditation earlier that reminded me that by coming into the Rooms, I have been allowed to live two lives. The life before sobriety was full of selfishness, pain, and darkness. This new adventure gives me the chance to alter my perceptions and move through the world without leaving a negative footprint. That's a funny way to see it, really, since a footprint is a 'negative' of the bottom of my foot.

I watched 'Evan Almighty' the other night. Cute, but not as good as 'Bruce..." I liked the bit, though, when God is telling Evan's wife that he doesn't give out things (in this case familial closeness) but rather puts humans in a position to achieve it themselves, whatever 'it' is...

Here's a question...How many movies can Steve Carell make in one year?
