Summer is starting to come to a close and I look back and wonder where the summer has gone. The past week I have started training for a new job I got. It's with a men's transitional housing agency. We provide service to homeless people for emergency, short term, long term and correctional men-a halfway house. I finished my 3rd of the 4 training shifts and I absolutely love the work. It's fast paced and busy and you have to think on your feet constantly. I feel a real sense of purpose there and that it makes a difference in creating a better world. I also spent a day at Cedar Park with three of my sons and the four grandchildren. It was lots of fun and summer heat was in full force.
I have two days off and will be gearing up for my overnight shift on Sunday and try to follow good sleep patterns so I can recover quickly. I have a few coming up as well so I need to get used to them.
I am due to fly out to my sisters in 3 weeks and I have a couple of speaking requests from people in A.A. One of them is a five year medallion for a lovely woman I have met in the rooms from another group. I try not to think about it ahead of time. I pray that my higher power will work through me to reach someone that needs to hear the message. I believe that if I prepare for my own message then it's ego coming in and the truth is it has nothing to do with me, it's about carrying the message not my message. It helps me keep the pressure off when I think of it that way. I get a bit nervous about the time they do the slogans. I do feel a sense of responsibility to reach the newcomer or someone who is struggling but in the end whatever comes out was what is meant to come out.
