of these steps, i GET to live another day in the sunshine of the spirit. do not get confused, this may look as if i have turned over a new leaf and am now some sort of Susie Sunshine, but after a few miles in the outdoors i have a slightly better outlook on this day. i went to bed last night whining to myself how the team i had been backing to make the Super Bowl played so poorly and that i had yet to receive a treatment plan from my dentist. after sitting through my 10th step i was okay enough to let both of those “issues” go and fall deeply and soundly asleep. i was still a bit put off this morning, and not getting what i wanted, in anything, lately. after a walk around the hood and a shower, i feel a bit brighter, as in more spiritual and a little less dark. i accept that i am cynical, bit it is certainly a gift when that lifts just a little bit.
round three
not having a whole lot of success with getting this posted. today, as dark as things may seem, just because i cannot “feel” the outcome, the facts do not indicate that there is anything really wrong. i have moved into a state of acceptance at work and am beginning to “get” that my co-worker is doing his best with what he has. i am not willing to make a “big” decision, quite yet. i am okay with where i am, even though the football team i was backing to win the Super Bowl, fell apart last night and really stank the place up. my dentist's front office person will provide me with a treatment plan and a valid estimate of my charges and what the insurance will pay, so there really are no biggies today. so it is off to the coffee shop to meet with a man that calls me his sponsor and see if he is ready to get his daily program in a bit better shape.

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

THE TAO TEH KING, OR THE TAO AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge

Book 2

3) Hence he who (relies on) the strength of his forces does not conquer;
and a tree which is strong will fill the out-stretched arms, (and
thereby invites the feller.)
