Typically, I don’t read my own readings. At least not now, as I am usually in some drunk stupor. They are just copied from last year. The horoscope is the only current section of the post. Yet, once again, a reader contacted me. The response changed my way of thinking.

In short, the reader (I will keep you anonymous!), send me an email via the Contact Me page this morning. They appreciated what I do. However, something was wrong with the Big Book quote. It just didn’t make sense.

I reviewed it. They were right. It had two things posted together. Apparently, no one, over the years, had pointed this out to me. I later found out it was a few words of the Big Book quote and what as my horoscope years ago mashed into one post. Doh! I am NOT perfect; nor will I ever claim to be perfect. Drunk or not, I will make mistakes just as everyone else in life. However, that action alone, has caused my own thinking to change.

First was the horoscope – why? I explained that, while some people don’t believe in such things, my belief is that the horoscope may help me plan for what is laid before me. It may or may not happen. But most of the time, they do.

Second, they explained that something was wrong with the Big Book reading. After investigating, two posts were smashed together. I edited the BB quote to what it should be. The point is, after all these years, no one has pointed this out. Which brings me to paying attention!

It’s about paying attention and being present today! Drunk or not, my own reading brings a message I really need to hear, drunk or not. I didn’t realize that until I woke up from a drunk stupor an hour ago. I woke up in my armchair – WTF? I didn’t know what time or day it was. Got a cup of coffee and what was on my computer? Call it an act of God- my Daily Reading. Seriously. My keyboard and mouse were next to me on a table out of reach. Another WTF? Groggy, I went to pop a cup of coffee in the microwave, came back with it and read the page.

No matter what section I read, it ALL applies to me somehow.

• Daily Reflection – here I am. I had no intention of posting this entry. “I let people see the changes in me and hope they will ask what happened to me.” (<- profound to me right now)
• Big Book Quote – the whole thing. I needed to read this, especially today. Yes, I hold resentments, which need to be dealt with, thus the “insanity of alcohol returns and we drink again. And with us, to drink is to die.”
• 24 Hours a Day – The Little Black Book
  • Thought for the Day – “Before we begin, we ask God (of our understanding) to direct our thinking.” After getting my coffee, the first thing I did was search my computer for a prayer I wrote myself to a God of my understanding years ago.
  • Meditation for the Day – without a thought after reading above I bowed my head, closed my eyes. Read the passage. Something clicked. I needed to start writing here.
  • Prayer for the Day – in totality! Something I have been thinking about, yet haven’t written here. I don’t make promises I can’t keep. Never have and just won’t do it.
  • The Language of Letting Go – My only social life right now is playing my game, Achaea. Earlie, I found someone new to the game and was just inappropriate. “We obsess, we babble, we become anxious. We try to control, care take, and fuss over others. Our energy spills out of us on to whomever.” Which leads to . . .
  • Touchstone – Men’s Meditation – “I affirm myself as a man when I stand in solidarity with others and help them in their need.“
  • I can continue with the last but won’t as I’m sure you’re bored already if not reading the rest….

The point of the post is, sadly, last – I need to read what I write and write about what I read as it happened later in the day. There it is. Not sure how that will work. I can only try.

You may carry on your day without my current ramblings.

Just something that popped in my head, thus I wrote it here.

Thanks for reading,
Mikey
