∞ as always, i have a choice in how i will approach the challenges of life. ∞

Posted: Tue, Jan 22, 2008 11:11:56 AM

i can dread and avoid them as threats to my serenity or i can gratefully accept them as opportunities for growth. although that grateful acceptance is hardly automatic nor is it very graceful for this addict. so even though i often find this reading a bit on the cheesy side, this morning it seems to speak to me about remaining teachable. there is always something new to learn about myself, recovery, and the world around me. it seems to me, that i never know who my teachers will be at any slice of time and to close my mind to what a reading is saying, just because i have problems with the analogy is more than a bit daft. so where do i want to go today? well for one i want to get my main computer up and running again. i want to get my home network up and running again, and all of that is eluding me this morning, and i have to learn to accept that i guess. i do have boatloads of things to do, and the time tro get at it is fast approaching so i think i will sign off with the thought that just for today i can do what is in front of me, learn the lessons i need to learn and let go of the results. that is possible and i think i will do what i can to make it happen.

his weight, nor though he has his place before them, do they feel
it an injury to them.
