Today was a good day as I allowed it to be. I woke up feeling sickish due to the JackInTheBox I had late last night. But as the day went on I got a little more tired but a little less sickish. Before leaving work, Suzy and I laughed at the point system on the blog. PS, Suzy, you should post your other artwork up here. Damn girls got skills. +1 Point for that.
Driving home, I enjoyed the cool breeze outside - perfect rush hour weather. I came home and plopped down on the couch to rest and talked to Alva on the phone. Fun conversation. She was trying to guess when my birthday was and I wouldn't tell her.
Joel came home in a good mood. We went to eat with some others at Wilcrest Cafeteria on Wilcrest and Westheimer. Another guy showed up there and I offered to buy his dinner since he had payed for my lunch about a month ago. The meeting was good. A few newcomers. Someone I had placed judgement on, suprised me - changed my opinion of them in a better way. The topic was - and I know this is my stuff and not yalls - but many of these topics are so beneficial to living life in general. Anyway, the topc was "Manufacturing your own misery".
Now how great is that, how often to we manufacture our own unhappiness, chaos, sexual problems, etc, ... Good thought for me to think about seeing as most of my life has been about manufacturing my own misery ... and blaming everyone from my parents to my ex-whatevers for my unhappiness. So much freedom comes out from knowing I am responsible for how I feel.
A short long day Yesterday
Wanted to give yall a quick input on yesterday because it was such a big day. After throwing my self into self pity on Monday, I recovered Monday night. So had an opportunity for a new day on Tuesday. Until about 3 pm on Monday, I thought there was no way I was going to lead the Tuesday meeting as scheduled. But I did, and honestly shared with others. Had lunch, didn't isolate or hold grudges and didn't procrastinate either. Got out and came home and procrastinated there. Went to a halfway house meeting at 6:30 pm. Good experience. Met a client at 8 pm. They liked the logos and I am working with the band - the duo - to improve on them and isolate some of the better features of the work. Came home tired. Could have been nicer - or more open - with my roommate. Not a perfect day. Still working on progress. I realized a while ago I am never going to have a perfect day, a perfect life, a perfect plan, a perfect career. I am always going to be facing hardships that give me an opportunity and hope to grow as a person.

A perfect way is a impossible day.
Life was meant to be imperfect.
Oh how I know all about manufacturing. The chaos theroy has intermingled itself into my soul. It is the responsibility for my own feelings that frightens me.
Very profound.
I really enjoyed the post.
You know my days are pretty much good/perfect, but I'm far from it. That is the point to life always try to better yourself and others around you. It's not easy but either is being honest with yourself and coming to grips with that is a key to a happy life. Honesty to yourself ond others is a problem I had a hard time overcoming.
