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.

Tao Te Ching

☯ 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 1

3) He constantly (tries to) keep them without knowledge and without
desire, and where there are those who have knowledge, to keep them
from presuming to act (on it). When there is this abstinence from
action, good order is universal.
