of life often threaten to overwhelm me, especially recently. of course there is the tried and true bromide of the POWER that fuels my recovery never gives me more than i can handle. if i choose to go down that path, i risk the spiritual balance it took me do long to find. instead i have to take comfort in the notion that i have been given everything i NEED to thrive today, through my relationship with that POWER and will be given the opportunity to get what i do not already have, if i pay attention to what is going on around me.
speaking of paying attention, i finally found a possible way in to getting my Mom to admit that she needs to be doing something more, unless she wants to end up in the hospital, once again. at this stage in her life, she still has a few choices left and some of them will require work on her part. i am hopeful that she accepts the reality of her health situation and actually wants to do the work to get a bit stronger and more fit. more will be revealed.
for me, this is a day i am devoting to finishing my coding assignment. it is true that i have three calls from recruiters scheduled today, but i already know the answer to one of the questions that are before me in that assignment, all i have to do, is type out my responses and finish and do the implementation of the two functions that i have been assigned to do. so before this day gets any later, it is time to suit up and hit the streets. my run vacation is not ending today as i had planned, as my nagging injury has only been gone a few days. i need to strengthen rather than tweak my hamstring, so another few days of walking seems like the best course of action for me, just for right now. so it is off into this early morning i go, High-Ho! 😎

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) He who acts (with an ulterior purpose) does harm; he who takes
hold of a thing (in the same way) loses his hold. The sage does not
act (so), and therefore does no harm; he does not lay hold (so), and
therefore does not lose his bold. (But) people in their conduct of
affairs are constantly ruining them when they are on the eve of success.
If they were careful at the end, as (they should be) at the beginning,
they would not so ruin them.
