A Good Day

Today has been a good day! Cody, my son, came over and hooked up my dryer and leveled my washer and also took me out to lunch. We had a very mature conversation about many topics. I couldn't ask for a better son!
This evening I spent with some great people too. Some of the conversation was serious but for the most part it was just hanging out, laughing, listening, enjoying other people. That does feel better than isolating I have to say.
I went to a speaker meeting today and heard some great things. Things I could totally relate to. Things that made me grateful for where I was sitting and even grateful for what brought me there.
I have been practicing many new things in  my life. Some are very uncomfortable. I will say the meeting made me a lil anxious because it was a bigger meeting and I only knew one person there. I don't do well in groups but better in one on one conversation. Large groups = a lot of different energy. My senses kick into overdrive. Trying to read people and listen to people can be overwhelming to me in large groups. I think this is why I have such a hard time shopping.
Im feeling a bit drained. I think tomorrow will be a do some laundry and work on step work and relax kinda day. My pain is high tonight and it has been all day. Making me sick to my stomach. This is usually a sign that I am staying to busy and need to slow it down a bit. If I don't notice these signs my body is telling me I can really get sick. The heat was a bit much today too.
I can't even tell you how cool it is to make new friends. To spend time with people that I connect with on many levels. People I don't have to be fake with. Not that I dont have a few friends like this already. This is just different.
I can honestly say I felt happiness and peace for most of my day. It has been awhile since I have said that or felt that. I am grateful today and humble. This was a good way to spend my 21st day clean and sober.
