🌅 believing in myself 🌅
posted: Mon, Jun 7, 2021 06:52:14 AM

 

well i am back home and hitting the ground running. i did keep abreast of work while i was on vacation and i am grateful that i did. when i checked into work, there was not hundreds of emails and customer requests to deal with, in fact, it was almost as if i was never gone. getting back into the swing of things, is not quite as easy as all of that, but sitting in my home after sleeping in my own bed, i am ready to face the day, starting with heading over to the pet resort to pick-up little miss daisy and drive her home.
my story does not include returning to the fellowship after a relapse, yet. i do have to own the fact that there have been times when i not only wanted the support of my peers, i NEEDED that support. the past six months has been one of those periods of time. this morning, i feel rested, relaxed and for once in a very long time, okay just being me, even if i do not know who that me, happens to be. i am not sure what this day will bring, but i have HOPE that i will be able to move forward with the projects on my desk, be okay with what comes down the pike and live a bit better than i was living eight days ago. with that in mind, it is time to step forward and get rolling on my day.

☯ 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

1) The things which from of old have got the One (the Tao) are--

Heaven which by it is bright and pure;
Earth rendered thereby firm and sure;
Spirits with powers by it supplied;
Valleys kept full throughout their void
All creatures which through it do live
Princes and kings who from it get
The model which to all they give. All these are the results of the
One (Tao).
