my past and seeing it for what it really was, has certainly been a HUGE part of my life, these days. in fact, i grow weary writing about it. what i think is finally happening, is that i am ready to accept i was wronged, forgive the person that wronged me and develop a relationship where i keep a wary eye out for being harmed again, by that person. my version of forgiving without forgetting. it will be a bumpy ride and as i allow myself to allow them back into my life, i will certainly be careful about my emotional reactions to their current set of behaviors. i am confident that they see something going on, but i am also confident that they will not ask, as that is how it has always been in this relationship, at least since i have “grown up.” what once was, can never be restored, but it can be repaired. as i let go of the event and the process it created in me, i can see clearly now that my path forward is one of cautious optimism.
this morning has been a far from ideal start to my day. i woke up fifteen minutes before my alarm, found out that a perfectly good credit card got declined for an automatic billing, tried to sign up for a “required” training class at work, that has no content, and had my printer reject the third party ink cartridges that it has been perfectly happy with for the past month. what i am going to do is:
  • add a call to my bank to my already full day of stuff to do
  • order “official” ink cartridges with the allegedly bad creative card
  • do a digital free work-out
  • and wait to see what happen with the training content.
all in all a better way to handle my less than stellar start to my day. with that in mind, i think i will do just that and allow my emotional state to return to one of serenity, wither or not it is unflappable today or not, has yet to be seen.

Needs fear no shame.
Who knows to stop
Incurs no blame.
From danger free
Long live shall he.
