overwhelm me can be made bearable. yesterday was not my best day as i was informed that if i wanted to continue with the sale of my time share in Mexico, i would have to come up with another $8700.00, after i have already wired over $11,000 off to facilitate the process. needless to say, i was pissed off, at the company who is managing this sale as well as myself for being stupid enough to trust them in the first place. i am not sure what f any action i can take to get my money back and it may mean beans and rice for lunch for the next six months or so, to pay back the money i borrowed against my credit cards. a very expensive lesson for me, as i am not the sort that has that kind of money just laying around to be throw down the drain. it is what it is and in this case, had i trusted my instincts going in, instead of looking at the prize at the end, perhaps…
i am trying to find some lesson in all of this and get past my anger and frustration and there certainly will be a joke in here, somewhere down the road. what i am feeling today is loss and a whole lot of FML and hindsight. no i am not going to use over this and perhaps a legal action or a complaint with the State of Louisiana will be in my future. what i am doing right here and right know is learning to let go and move on with my life. not a whole lot of humor in this situation, but i will survive, just for today.

Tao Te Ching

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯

The Tao Teh King, or The Tao and Its Characteristics

Translated by James Legge

Book 2

2) Therefore the sages got their knowledge without travelling; gave
their (right) names to things without seeing them; and accomplished
their ends without any purpose of doing so.
