I am thinking of this idea, found in Courage To Change, for the 1st of April: ~awareness, acceptance, action~. And, looking back the cover steps 1 thru 3; steps 4 thru 9; and then steps 10, 11, and 12, together.

Currently I am thinking of stepping into oldtimer territory, which means working the last three steps together.

We have a sitting room kitchen combined- with a small breakfast bar in the middle. In one corner is a blackboard- which is really my "camel" described in Skorpi's share this morning.

We were doing a home renovation, and I found the board there. I can picture my SO, legs akimbo and hands on hips- saying:- "You are NOT taking that thing home!"

But I did take it home and painted it with blackboard paint. I already had a box of chalks- put aside for grandkids.

Every time I come off of the phone, or have a chore to remember it goes up on the board. When a chore is completed I cheerfully wipe it off- with a wiper I keep on the top of the fridge, with the chalk.

This is my camel tied to a tree. It give me security. I do not have to rely on my own will power, entirely. Or giving the God of my understanding hopeless tasks to perform.
