the sake of my growth, or better put: we love you dude, BUT...
i have been on both sides of that conversation giving and receiving loving suggestions to alter my less than stellar behaviors. not that i did either side very well, way back when, but as i grow more tolerant and less reactive, i seem to have found the place where i need not get defensive when someone is telling me, in a loving manner, that i do not measure up and perhaps i want to institute some changes. i also have become kinder, softer and much more gentle when i am the one that is offering feedback, although this is certainly a work in progress.
moving on, today i have a bunch of stuff to get off my desk and into UAT, by the end of bidness and i am currently engaged in telling on myself. quite honestly i am tired of working and ready to call it quits. i know that i cannot at this time, swing that result, so i tolerate working for a living. it really is not all that bad and i do like the work i do. it may not “feel” creative, but making something work on the web, is all part of immediate gratification and accomplishment. so, i will get this posted and get on to the cigar store to smoke, work and generally be okay out of the house for a few hours. actually getting paid to enjoy a stogie is not a bad way to go, just for today.

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

2) Tao when nursed within one's self,
His vigour will make true;
And where the family it rules
What riches will accrue!
The neighbourhood where it prevails
In thriving will abound;
And when 'tis seen throughout the state,
Good fortune will be found.
Employ it the kingdom o'er,
And men thrive all around.
