i provide a powerful example for newcomers to follow.
okay, i am writing this a bit late this morning, first of the month, a crappy night of sleep and a a late start all add up to getting out of my routine. so it goes, that is just life in the big city. of course the side effect is what i thought i heard this morning is long gone, and now i get to write about what i am feeling right now, simplifying my life through the program, i do not think i am that complex of a person, although that opinion may not be shared by all who interact with me in my daily life. i do know that there are times when ,my life feels complex and beyond my understanding, in fact, that was what it is like this morning. i want to go lay down and let the world pass me by for the rest of the day. so when i feel like this, i need to fall back on the cushion of what the program has provided me and what i need to do to allow that cushion to be built into a much more comfortable world -- that is -- go back to the basics, -- surrender, patience and acceptance. none of that comes easy for me, especially when i feel pressured to get things done.
so i guess what i need to do, is to take a breath, relax for a few and then move into what i need to get done today -- be that as it may -- so i believe that is just what i will do.
