with shortcomings, as well seems to be a current theme in my life these days. mine are not so terribly draining, save for my desire to jump in an judge the shortcomings of those with whom i see in my life. i have been asking the POWER that fuels my recovery to open my heart to accepting them for who they are, and perhaps, just maybe, it is starting to take effect. i certainly am present enough to see how my shortcomings wear on others and finding a bit of empathy for others, whether or not they are even aware of how they are acting, is certainly a project i can undertake.

Congrats on FIVE(5) years clean, today.
Hope to see you soon.

a DECADE clean today!
Congrats my friend, glad you stayed.

moving on this morning, i am attempting to load my Dad's e-mail and Facebook accounts on a newer computer so i can take care of some of his unfinished bidness. of course, patience is not one of my long suits, so i think i will post this and pay attention to what i need to get accomplished.

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 2

3) Therefore a sage has said,
'He who accepts his state's reproach,
Is hailed therefore its altars' lord;
To him who bears men's direful woes
They all the name of King accord.'
