๐Ÿ˜ฆ life is not ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

always fair -- that is a fact! today is a perfect example of that. i got locked out of the work VPN, hacked my face badly while shaving, spent an over an hour to get into the office and then spent an hour on customer service to get my issue solved. it has been one of those mornings and i want to scream 😱 actually, i am all good, after all of this, i finally get a chance to write this and breathe.
thinking about how to be emotionally, spiritually and physically balanced is tough, especially when things fail to go as planned. making plans and letting go of the outcomes is easy to say, but for this addict, not the easiest thing to accomplish. the past year has been a case in point. after all the highs and lows, i made it through clean. balanced and stable, not so much. i can say that being pissed off at customer service got me to have a great workout. sitting here now, i am getting to a place that i am okay with what i need to accomplish and being left behind when the rest of my team went out for tacos. speaking of that, i need to get working, so just for today, i can find a bit of balance in my life and let go of the events that may turn things topsy-turvy.

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) The tree which fills the arms grew from the tiniest sprout; the
tower of nine storeys rose from a (small) heap of earth; the journey
of a thousand li commenced with a single step.
