💘 love for 💗
posted: Wed, Nov 15, 2023 09:37:41 AM

 

the sake of my growth, or better put: we love you dude, BUT...
i have been on both sides of that conversation giving and receiving loving suggestions to alter my less than stellar behaviors. not that i did either side very well, way back when, but as i grow more tolerant and less reactive, i seem to have found the place where i need not get defensive when someone is telling me, in a loving manner, that i do not measure up and perhaps i want to institute some changes. i also have become kinder, softer and much more gentle when i am the one that is offering feedback, although this is certainly a work in progress.
moving on, today i have a bunch of stuff to get off my desk and into UAT, by the end of bidness and i am currently engaged in telling on myself. quite honestly i am tired of working and ready to call it quits. i know that i cannot at this time, swing that result, so i tolerate working for a living. it really is not all that bad and i do like the work i do. it may not “feel” creative, but making something work on the web, is all part of immediate gratification and accomplishment. so, i will get this posted and get on to the cigar store to smoke, work and generally be okay out of the house for a few hours. actually getting paid to enjoy a stogie is not a bad way to go, just for today.

☯ 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

1) May not the Way (or Tao) of Heaven be compared to the (method of)
bending a bow? The (part of the bow) which was high is brought low,
and what was low is raised up. (So Heaven) diminishes where there
is superabundance, and supplements where there is deficiency.
