By amending our mistakes, we get wisdom.
By defending our faults, we betray an unsound mind.

199 days.smile. I have so much to be thankful for this year, my sobriety, my wife and kids, my family, friends, a beautiful home and a great job. The past 199 days I have experienced so much growth. For me it has been peaks and plateaus. And I continue to grow up. Thank you to all my SG friends that have been kind enough...

I'm not going to Canada. I refuse to let right wing christians run me out of this country, not without a fight. It's time to dig in deeper and get more pro-active. My families future is at stake. There are too many apathetic people in this country. There are way to many talkers and not enough doers. Our comfort zone is getting very uncomfortable and...

no doubt about it ... I think at times the "moral majority" thinks they are the only ones with values whatever . Somone asked me at work once if I was a Christian .. my reply was that I would only desire to be more like Christ .. then I asked; are you, if so go and feed his sheep. I do not think he was prepared for that statement. wink

"The ultimate state of mind is clear light, but its clarity can be covered up by negative emotional states such as anger, hatred, or anxiety."

So often I feel like these words are directed right at me. Everyday I struggle less, but never-the-less I still struggle.
Being caught up in everyday life, it's such a Catch-22. If I only had more time what would I...

The Lasik has proved to be a success. So far I can see better than before with my glasses. What a relief.
My work partner called me yesterday and they finally stood up to the bosses and shut the project down. Engineers will now come and look at the design and structure. Again, proof that standing up for what you believe in and putting the...

On many a jobs I have heard we should put safety first ... and you know some people still think that if you speak up and say anything, your voicing a concern will get you fired. I take that Lasik is a medical breakthrough in eyesight?

Safety First

I have been working at the Bloomingdales in Century City. We began the installation of a 12'X2'X1/2" glass fixture, very dangerous to handle. When my partner began to put up the support brackets, he found that there was no backing in the ceiling. He brought this to our foremans attention. The foreman instructed him to "just use adhesive and drywall anchors". The support...

Damn, that sucks. Trying to do the next right thing when others around you dont give a shit can be difficult.
Anyway, I ordered one breath at a time and a Bill Wilson biography at the same time, started reading one breath then switched to my name is Bill. I do that alot, depending on my mood. WHat I have read so far of KG's book I love. The wilson book is pretty boring so far, I usually read it to put myself to sleep and it works pretty well. Good luck with the lasik, let me know how it goes. I'm getting blind as a bat.

I really do enjoy the rain. It doesn't keep me from working. I can wear more than shorts and t-shirts without sweating to death. It cleans our crappy air. I don't have to go out and water my lawn every morning. Fall, winter and spring are definitely more favourable to me. Fuck I have to buy new windshield wipers
lolita:
I thoroughly agree, the fall especailly, the air just smells so nice here in the fall.
I didnt know you used to live here?
yeah I am moving to the west side! can you believe it? I always saw myself as such a east side type girl.... wink

My reconstruction has furthered. I have gone through 2 screening phases for laser eye surgery and have a tentative date scheduled for the 20th. I went to my evaluation for physical therapy to get my back healed. I have an appointment to get a new tattoo. My work ethic continues to mature. My spiritual growth sometimes feels like it is not progressing until, I stop...

But the "Art of Seeing' is Bates" isn't it?

Huxley took some lessons from Bates, and then wrote
"Eyeless in Gaza" in gratitude.

Man fixing up the house on the weekend is tough but the end result is worth it.
llona:
i need to keep that in mind. i've been shirking my house-care responsibilities lately. i'm too intimidating to even start trying to fix things up around here.
