Recommitted Myself
Yesterday was a notably tough day having to e-mail and call just to get a rejection. A tough day for me is reading Accordion Crimes by Annie Proulx and eating popcorn with coconut oil and nutritional yeast. I didn’t get as much done as I had hoped, but the day was not without productivity. I have closure on this job, and I’m ready to recommit myself to all the things that give me grace in this trying time.
Today I will finish my online course in Joomla, do yoga, work out, read more on social media marketing, practice the sax, clean up apartment, write more blog posts, and take advantage of this good day.
It may be that these are superficial efforts to maintain that grace. I say, whatever keeps you moving in a straight line. It’s like what I tell people when asked about my belief in god: I believe in god, but it doesn’t matter whether god actually exists. If the belief engenders positive or forthright behavior, the so be it.
I am again reminded, while writing this blog, and therein lies the value of writing these blogs, of the Ram Dassian saying that the fire that burns the hottest purifys the most. Waiting to find out, and know that they may very well not provide me with the courtesy of a rejection, is a hot fire for me indeed.
