Did the usual morning routine followed by a swim and grocery shopping
at Cash-n-Carry. The morning was a
rainstorm and the afternoon eventually cleared up for a bit of sun.
For the last four days I woke up in a crabby mood and then my magic
magnifying mind spent the next 15 minutes trying justify where I was
self-righteously right and had be wronged by others. Then I got my mind back on track with some
mindful meditation and had a pretty good day.
That is a lot progress from how I used to be with passive-aggressive
sarcasm that got me what I most wanted to avoid—loneliness and isolation.
That reminds me of a prayer I got from my friend Merri to the effect of,
“Well god, so far it has been a pretty good day. Pretty soon now I am going to get up and need
a lot of help dealing with others before they get on my last nerve. Amen.”
I am grateful for the progress I have made having my actions display greater
emotional maturity and being able to let go of a bad mood before I start taking
to others thus avoiding destructive behavior and having to try to make amends
for said damage.
