Good Orderly Direction and OK

Hello from Hunter.

Living in a relationship with a partner in recovery gets better each month they are sober. I talked with Mark today about his behaviour a few months ago when my family sent a check for our son so he could get a Wii. I never received the check-Mark cashed it and threw away the note without showing it to us or telling us. His recovery back then was to spend the money on things we needed and not to feed his addiction. Today with additional months of sobriety he would not cash the check. He would give it to us and show us the note. It was horribly embarrassing when this happened a few months ago...I am grateful we are past that stage. Actually things are so much better and more normal today that I sometimes wonder how much better can it get...I look forward to the wonderful surprises in store for the future.

I started a new part time job to supplement my other one and worked a few hours this weekend. I am working with someone in their home. It is incredible to be in a peaceful family environment...Although I currently live in one, it is still hard for me to believe that this is normal for most people. Anyway I like my new job and the person I work for and I believe it will move me in a Good Orderly Direction in my career.

SO What is GOOD ORDERLY DIRECTION???? It means much more to me today than it did in the past. In general Good Orderly Direction (acronym GOD) means things are moving in the right direction, according to God's plan, and life is getting better one day at a time...OR life is good and going well....

What does it mean when we say we are OK? It means things are not so great but we are accepting them as they are. OR I wish things were different but won't really tell you how bad it is....

I pray that things continue on in our life on the GOD path rather than the OK path..

Sometimes I think when people say things are OK they are not grateful for what they have and always looking for the next best thing. When things are on the Good Orderly Directio path they have accepted what they have and not what they don't have and are moving forward with their lives rather than standing still.

Until tomorrow

Hunter.

P.S. Mark is promising to blog tonight...Shall we bet on it?????
