โˆช **someday,** i have thought, โˆช

Posted: Wed, Nov 12, 2014 08:48:19 AM

**i am going to be a main speaker at a convention, too.**
well i am not holding my breath, waiting for the some day to arrive. it is possible, that i may get that opportunity, but today, well today i am more than grateful that i have my own story to tell, no matter what the size of the audience.
a year ago, it seems i was all up in arms about being included in the “we” that some of my peers choose to use when they share. perhaps i have mellowed, or perhaps i have moved on. i certainly do NOT know what is best for anyone else. does someone else know what is best for me? well that is certainly a valid point. it seems my sponsor, my peers and some of my closed-mouth friends certainly do from time to time. well honestly more frequently than i like to admit. the rub is, however, if i am dishonest with them, they will give me bad advice and suggestions. so the part of me that wants to hide how bad i am, will inevitably lead me into places where i get bad information. of course, then i can blame whomever gave it to me, after all, it is all their fault :).
so as i sit here, much later than usual, i am getting more grateful that i made the decision to work from home today. looking at the traffic on the main road in front of my house, i can see that i would have been more than a little bit frustrated, as traffic seems to be moving at two speeds way too slow and way too fast. anyhow i need to get rolling into the shower, as i may be working from home, but i still like to act ‘as-if’ i am in the office, which means showering, shaving and changing into clothes that i did not sleep in last night.
it is a good day to be clean, and have an option or two.
