∞ dealing with the inconsequential ∞

well as is fitting for the daily meditation i have already encountered my first molehill this morning. due to unexplained errors i lost my first version of this blog and am forced to start from scratch AGHHHHHHH!
all better now. what i was trying to say was that i have gone through a series of life-altering events recently and took them with a bit of grace and actually used the tools that the program has given me. i wish i could say the same about those petty little annoyances that pop-up over the course of a day in my life. you know, weak and feeble drivers blocking me from going where i am going, the customer in the fifteen items or less check-out lane with a grocery cart full of twenty days worth of groceries, having my browser close unexpectedly while i am trying to wax poetic or having a cigar wrapper blow-up after paying big bucks for it. you know, all that silly inconsequential stuff that comprises life on life‘s terms. and of course my reaction is to get mad, want to act-out my rage, or even worse whine and complain about how all unfair it is! an atypical reaction to events like this for me, is to say that i am powerless and it will be alright, if i just let go and have a bit of patience and tolerance. not two spiritual principles that spring to mind when i get frustrated or life is not going my way.
so what is this addict to do? take a deep breath and let go, after all i am not the only one today who has to deal with a molehill or two! life is too short to walk around pissed-off all the time and i have more important things to do! after all, that big bucks cigar is sitting there waiting for me to smoke it!
