Thanks again for the starter, lennon.
Fairly productive day yesterday at my client's office, but latish night and a bit late and tired today. Also a little distracted by having my son visit. Want to remind myself that at 20 he has to sort out getting a holiday job etc himself and to do my best to accept what he does and try to step back.
I will do my best to follow my lists today.

Reading for Day
Reading #1
Happiness is not a place to travel to. It's a way of getting there.
—Anonymous
Those of us who climb mountains find joy in reaching the top. However, the climb would not make much sense if there were not things to enjoy on the way up. If we groan and complain, it will be hard to feel joy at the summit. However, if we are able to enjoy each day's journey, it makes all the difference in the world. In the midst of each chore, we can notice the sunset or the unique and beautiful surroundings of each day.
Each of our days is different. Happiness is not a goal we are struggling to reach some time in the future. It is a gift we can give ourselves today. If we enjoy some parts of each day of our hike, we will also feel joy at the summit.
What form will my gift of happiness take today?

P.A. Thought for the Day
I no longer refuse to do anything because I cannot do it to perfection. Many of us procrastinators use the excuse of not being able to do something perfectly to enable us to do nothing at all. We pretend to be perfectionists. We are good at telling people how a thing should be done, but when we come to the effort of doing it ourselves, we balk. We say to ourselves: "I might make a mistake so I'd better let the whole thing slide."

Turning On
Before PA, many of us were in a self-centered rut. When we come to PA and admit that we are powerless over procrastination, we can turn on to a Power greater than ourselves.
Just as we do not need to understand the complexities of electricity in order to benefit from it, we do not need to understand everything about God in order to receive His power. Taking the Twelve Steps turns us on to a new way of life, motivated by faith in a Higher Power.
Turning on to this Power means that we are no longer alone. We do not have to try to run our lives by ourselves. God can and will relieve us of our obsession with procrastination and our obsession with self. He gives us strength and enthusiasm for the living of our daily lives. Through surrender, we become recipients of the Power of the universe.
Take away the blindness that prevents us from turning on to Your power.
