well it has been less than a stellar morning on the internet for me. due to design decisions by my peers, i was UNABLE to pay a credit card or renew a domain. i gave my first zero rating to a customer service rep, that was not COMCAST and i feel bad because the tools he had, were inadequate to address the issues i am seeing. yes, i am less than perfect and today, well today that is more than just okay, because i am learning to accept that being human and being perfect, in all instances, 24/7 are mutually exclusive states of being.
the reading spoke of taking risks and reaching out to do and be, more than what i am right now. or at least that was echoed in my heart when i sat down and listened. being more is what had been put upon my heart, and just like the risk i took a little over a year ago, i am thinking that there is still more for me to be. it is true, chaos is swirling all around me. relationships are ending, businesses are failing, people are running away because they cannot or will not face up to the responsibility of living, and yet, within me, there is a quiet center, that feels okay with the direction my life is taking.
truthfully i have been less and less enchanted with my hosting company and today's little fiasco, does nothing to restore my confidence in them. in fact as the days tick down to renewal time, i will be be preparing to leave them in the dust. my job and career path? well just for today, i am okay with where i am working and think i will let the opportunities that have landed in my inbox, fade away.my relationships? here i also am starting toi feel that i am finally on the right path and will continue to pursue them as well. Fantasy Football? well, it was real fun! time to make the donuts!

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge
Book 1
1) Heaven is long-enduring and earth continues long. The reason why
heaven and earth are able to endure and continue thus long is because
they do not live of, or for, themselves. This is how they are able
to continue and endure.
