Some memes

is metaphorically taking out the trash, clearing the cobwebs, airing out the sheets. all metaphors aside, i have never been a huge fan of surrender, despite all the words i have written about how much i appreciate surrender and how it make my life a little bit more tolerable. both of those statements are, however true. i may not be a huge fan of any sort of surrender, but when i do surrender, my life is that much better. i forget that is more often the case, when i am knee deep in my own shit, trying to find a way out. fighting, kicking and screaming my way out, which used to be my default behavior, is still one that i can slip into quite easily, pitching any sort of spiritual principles out the window.
this morning, as i sat and looked ahead for the next two weeks, i got a glimpse of what i need to change and what i need to accept. just for today, however, i am good with what is up in my life. i was a bit short in my total distance, i ran two miles straight through and tacked on an additional mile of running, before getting home. my goal today was six miles with three of those miles of running, and i came in with only five and a half miles. i am not going to whine or complain about that, as it was a good morning activity. looking forward into the rest of my day, perhaps i will have a decent day of fantasy football as some of my players are showing early promise. i know i will enjoy a couple of cigars and root, root, root for the home team. everything else, is yet to be determined and i will leave it at that.
