accepting the whole package

I went to work this morning, and experience a lot of upheaval emotionally.


Just the rise and fall of feelings, chaos, disorganization and varying feelings.


I stayed the course - did the work well and as well as I could. And as I was working I just decided


or wondered if others experienced this kind of internal chaotic stuff as well.


Rather than feel like thrown off my course of action by it - I decided instead to 


gather myself and get back to the work at hand, think about what needed to get done


and just do it...and the focus came back to me.


I liked this idea of just accepting the whole package - that it's not going to be


a straight line from here to there - and likewise I thought about something my friend


the Abbess once said to me about friendship - the ups and downs - she's "grateful for all of it."


I came home- and got ready for the barber appointment I had and then went to the Emil's


about 10 minutes before to get a snack and coffee for while I waited. It was nice.


My hairs were cut - well - and I am happy.. hehe - and I was just kind of nursing some hurt 


I felt about something - and I realized here too! On my own - I am determining my course of action


because of some hurt I am feeling rather than seeing it as part of my experience, the hurt is commanding


my existence and path of action! Oh no I say! Maybe here too I will look at the whole picture and accepting it


too. That way I can see what's driving me! eh? :)


Ok gotta meet with my Doc now.


peace and hugs! I'll be driving all over LA today and I'll get home probably around


300p or so.

My love of learning opened the door for my ability to be grateful for the uglier facts of my life. Those be the lessons which taught me things I could have learned no other way. There are things books can't teach.

Ya still got me singing along with Leonard. . .

"You say I took the name in vain
"I don't even know the name
"But if I did, well really, what's it to ya?
"There's a blaze of light in every word
"It doesn't matter which you heard
"The holy or the broken Hallelujah"
