🌘 acceptance of 🌒

where i am right now, fuels my desire to see explore the possibilities of today and beyond. i am really not a optimist, or at least i did not enter recovery as an optimist and i still have a way to go to see myself as one. i am, however, more hopeful and certainly better prepared to accept what is happening in the world and do my best to navigate my way through. unfortunately, the election results have thrown me for a loop and the last one i was pinning a few hopes on, was decided last night, in a manner i find less than desirable. what i have to start looking at, is a Plan B, if things go south. regardless of what my conservative friends may tell me, i am certainly concerned about a demagogue running the country, with his over-entitled billionaire supporters now demanding their quid pro quo.
all of that aside, today i am not planning on fleeing the country or taking a twenty minute break from recovery. today, i am going to apply the fix to my code that i came up with yesterday. today, i am going to get out for my walk, perhaps remove some leaves from my lawn and feed my trees. today, i am going to be curious about what is happening inside me and within those around me, as we all adjust to this new world order. most of all, today, i am going to walk forward into this chilly morning and see how i can be a better version of me, as i am quite certain of where i am, just for today.

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge
Book 2
4) When things have become strong, they (then) become old, which may
be said to be contrary to the Tao. Whatever is contrary to the Tao
soon ends.
