Same Ol’ Same Ol

Today is one of those days where I’m doing the same things I’ve been doing. Prayer, coffee, statement of purpose, meditation, and gratitude list. I learned years ago the importance of having a morning routine or ritual. Interesting how spiritual has the word ritual within it. Today is one of those days where it doesn’t matter how I feel, it matters what I do.

After nearly a week of fighting chest congestion I’m really tired of being under the weather. I’d love a sense of normalcy once more and I’m certain it’s on the way. Sloth or recuperation is the challenge I face today. At certain times it’s easy to think I’m simply resting and others I’m being slothful. Today, not all the time, I can discern the difference. I’ll make the meetings I have scheduled then return home and rest. I’m still not at 100%.

Today, Thursday, December 5, 2019, I am grateful that:

Time is sorting out those interested in doing better versus those content with their current situation. “Lipservice” is one thing and it sounds good to say I want a job yet when offered employment several people have chosen to remain in their current state. Unable to advance they chose to remain where they are. I chose to not render assistance to those unwilling to assist themselves.

I had the chance to speak with Beverly late last night. They’re searching for another home and it’ll be interesting to see if they’ve reached an agreement when we speak this weekend. The search has been going on for about a year so I’m sure they’d like to have some resolution in that area.

When speaking with Beverly she was able to share about what’s going on with her. Typically we discuss my favorite subject, me. I’m glad she’s willing to confide with me about her current challenges. We both have a tendency to spend more time asking questions about others than offering info about ourselves. So our talk, albeit brief, was great since we discussed some of her current challenges.

Maintain Your Ritual. Be Impactful!
