Today is off to a good start, although i'm still quite sore. The bisep in my left arm was swollen and more bruised last night. At work a couple of times I moved too fast to catch things and I may have hurt it again. other than that, things are well. It's beautiful and sunny out right now, so thats nice. It always nakes me feel good when the sun shines.But I feel good also now when it's cloudy. I remember in my younger years how the weather seemed to have so much control over how I felt. Cloudy days always were days that I just wanted to drink to blot out the way I felt. I just wanted everything to go away. Rain seemen lonely and depressing.  Lately I've noticed myself enjoying the rain. The clean smell and the freshness feel really good. The coolness of the rain on my face after work feels wonderful. The little enjoyments that we get by living sober. There mostly things that we didn't have time to enjoy while using. Things like just enjoying the shape of the clouds. While using, I don't think I ever saw anything above shoulder level. I was always looking down. The other day while at this house it rained, but after it cleared up we saw this beautiful perfect rainbow streched right across the sky. It was the most beautiful one I ever saw. I look at things like that as God's special little gifts that remind me that He's there with me. The other day I came home and decided to take the one air conditioner out of the window. As soon as I raised the window, out it went and crashed on the sidewalk. I brought it up to see if it was fixable, but it was a gonner. Pissed me off a bit, but shit happens. At least it wasn't the new one. I never used it anyway because it's an older type thats not energy efficiant. Actually I haven't had to use either one this year. This summer wasn't hot as usual. Geeze, already the summer is almost over. Seems to have gone by really fast. I guess because I seemed to have so much happening. Getting the apartment, fixing it, having my freind stay here...time just seemed to fly. Anyway, I'm going back out with Bob. Carlos is with us today, so thats kind of nice. He's a pretty good guy talking to. He still uses and drinks, but he seems more on the ball than most others. The only thing that he seems to do that I find anoying is he uses Gods name to swear a lot. I find that when anyone does that it bothers me. I know that most people just do it out of ignorence. I don't think they really know what there saying or doing when they do that. Lil Jimmy is getting big now. He's not fat or anything. He's a really good healthy looking cat. I really love him a lot. Sometimes I just want to spend time with him. I love his personality. He's a really cool cat. Thank you, Lord for everything that you do, but mostly for being with me always, and for keeping me sober. Thank you so much. Amen.
