ฮฒ i can look anyone in the eye without shame ฮฒ

i am grateful for the loving support that has made this possible. well a sort of upside down and very long day ahead of me. all in all, without a little FAITH and a modicum of HOPE, i would be cringing about what is ahead of me. i am sort of looking forward to it, as the reward of doing this, is much greater than not doing, and if i was to get that reward without putting in some additional time, i would not be able to look my co-workers in the eye. which is quite a different manner of living, than when i first got clean. i would have loved to reap0 the rewards and not put in any of the blood, sweat and tears. in fact, i would have no shame about doing so, as that was who i was. these days, not so much.
i could go on, but i am quite scattered this morning, so i will just say, that i am grateful today, that i stand for something and that i can take pride in what i do and add my effort to help a team succeed.
see you all on the flip side!

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

7) Thus it is that the Great man abides by what is solid, and eschews
what is flimsy; dwells with the fruit and not with the flower. It
is thus that he puts away the one and makes choice of the other.
