Blog entry for:

to see and accept the opportunities to change and grow. after a long night of work and a short time sleeping, i was faced with the fact that part of my website was failing and failing miserably. man was i frustrated and i am certain that my hosting company made changes that prevented it from working. obsessive as i am, i found a work-around and now can finally get on with my day, more than a few hours later that my plan. yes, there was an opportunity for growth and instead of calling customer support, i just did what i could do to make things work. the customer support call may still be in my future, however, for now, i am content to let go and move along.
i find it very unpleasant for someone else to point out my character defects. i believe i have a good enough handle on them and when it is pointed out, that maybe i do not, well all hell breaks loose. the reading reminds me that i am the consumer of my best stories. some of those stories are certainly “fake news,” and some are pure non-fiction. the rub here is that i am not always a good judge of which one of those categories my stories fall into and if there are not elements of both in any particular story. today, as i walk through the little messes i have stumbled into, i WANT to be open to what others tell me and i want to allow myself the FREEDOM to grow. most importantly i want to walk through this day, as-if the whole world is watching my actions and i will be featured on the late local news. not a bad goal, just for today.
