🔭 focusing on 🔬

the principles of love and acceptance, is not something i do automagically all the time. in fact, most of the time i find myself judging, evaluating, discerning and figuring out my response to whatever happens to be going on. my choice of source material was a great indicator that i need to be a bit more vigilant about not dropping out of tolerance into being a judgemental asshole. driving down to the office this morning, i realized that i did not have to be the first on race day, that i could in fact, allow others to travel faster and pass me by. my quiet time was interrupted by me attempting to talk myself out of driving into the office and making my journey to the melanoma clinic from Longmont, midday. talk about being less than present for what was going on! 😒 sitting here, in the here and now, i am grateful that i went with my ninety-seventh thought, rather than caving into a bit of self-will run riot. from here it is an easy peasy drive to the clinic and i will be able to concentrate on work, rather than considering the drive.
of course, being present for work will be quite the chore as i am no longer able to wait to open the box and peek at the cat, as it were. i know that i still lack the information i need to figure out my next move, health-wise that is, but i have more than enough information to figure out what the next right thing to do is. what may that be? to post this little ditty, grab a cup of coffee and get some work done. 'nuff said, time to move along!
