Facing a bit of writer’s block, tonight’s post is on nothing
special. People, especially in America,
grossly overestimate how much happiness a new X will bring them where X is a new:
pair of shoes; car; bigger house; pay raise; or job.
Today I am reasonably happy for no special reason. Went for a short swim tonight, have a good
book to finish reading and got my heavy comforter back from the dry cleaners
today. It will be a good night to
snuggle up in a warm bed and read.
I have a little mental agitation over a bizarre “argument” with
Michelle. She took a position that was
demonstrably factually incorrect and then continued to argue for it as if
talking louder and faster would change the facts. That behavior undoubtedly worked better on
the streets than it does in recovery. I
don’t understand arguing against facts. I understand interpretation and
applicability of a given fact, but not arguing the fact itself. For example, the force of gravity at sea
level is 9.8 m/s^2. In practice, that
would be impacted by wind resistance for a falling object or stationary mass and
so needs context.
I am
grateful to be happy for “no special reason”.
That is infinitely better than playing the “if only I had this” game.
