day-to-day challenges of living life certainly can and do drive me to distraction. this morning, it is this incessant winter weather that is making me see a bit of red. i know that i have no power of the weather and allowing the fact that it is frigid and the wind-driven snow makes heading outside very uncomfortable, to affect my serenity, is … well one certainly knows that drill. 😡 my saving grace? i have an alternative fitness venue and when i put this baby to bed, it is off to the gym for some treadmill action.
recently, in case you missed the news, i accepted a job that is throwing buckets of money at me. instead of taking the two weeks off and gaming, relaxing and doing very little, i am still pursuing job search activities. case in point: a technical interview that i choked on yesterday, because i was not paying attention to what was going on. i certainly could have asked a few questions and practiced coding in the language that i am already well-versed in. oh well, it is not as if i “need” to perform well on any of these job search activities, as i am just going through the motions until i start my new job. i am however, practicing my coding skills in a couple of languages, to get me thinking in algorithms again and prepared to walk into my new job and be an adequate team member on the first day. my plan is to improve from there.
looking at what is going on in my life today, there are a few biggies, my Mom and her struggle with blood clots in her legs. paying the bills until the 💲💲💲💲's start rolling in and figuring out how to keep the affairs of the world from upsetting what little inner balance i can achieve, on a daily basis. i do know what the secret to being successful in that arena is. for this addict, it is going back to the wisdom to know the difference, and in almost everything, i know that acceptance rather courage, is required, just for today.
