February 4, 2026

Today, a friend of mine celebrates 19 years of sobriety. I'm going to bake some cookies and bring them to his celebration. There's another guy celebrating, but I like him too.

It's Wednesday, so my podcast gets uploaded today. I have already begun work on next week's episode. It's like a radio show, so first I select some music for it. Each week it's a different genre: jazz, rock, blues, funk. After I figure out the music, I write a little script, sometimes with tidbits of info about each song. Then, I pick a day a few days before I upload it, and pre-record it. It keeps me busy for sure.

I'm meeting up with someone this morning to have a discussion on group conscience.

The Big Storm was just a few centimeters of snow that fell and just blew into drifts. At least that's how it looks in here in the trailer park. The wind did most of my shovelling for me. Thank you Mother Nature for keeping the Old Man in check.

 It's Sunday, so we'll start the day with church. Actually, I start my day with prayer, meditation, readings and sharing. And, then I'll go to church.

This afternoon I have a committee meeting and I'm also baking a ham. Which is in the freezer so I better get that to thawing. I'll probably make a glaze for it and some scalloped potatoes to go with it.

Big storm coming. Hopefully, I'll be able to do the zoom meetings I have set up, but if I can't then I'll just have to accept that as things that I cannot change.

You all stay safe now.

 The calm before the storm. And, it is actually the day before we will be hit by a major snowstorm.

I need to make butterscotch fudge today for a birthday meeting at a woman's group tonight. Because it's a birthday it's an open meeting.

Meeting with a sponcee this afternoon and going to an al-anon meeting on zoom.

Great reading in the daily reflections today, about unity and ego-deflation. You should check it out. If you don't have a copy of the book, you can read it at www.aa.org
