First off, my apologies for the lack of carnival today, especially after that excellent one we had on 1-2.
As I watch and perform my practice of living, I notice more and more that I am becoming more a authentic person. As I release my aversions and attachments, I find that I can be more honest not only with others, but perhaps most importantly with myself.
This has been an interesting surprise, as I had generally believed myself to be a truthful person. But this is an honesty beyond simple true/false statements. This honesty might better be described as wholeness.
When I find difficult situation, my inner strength is there to help me deal with it, in ways and in magnitudes unknown before. I am able to be compassionate without being drained. I can be direct and supportive, giving and helpful without taxing my reserves, and I really like that.
At the same time, I find myself winding up at the right places at the right times, and doing the right things, without any conscious will that this be so on my part. I do open and embrace the occurrences when this happens, and this seems to sustain a chain reaction of some kind. I continue to explore.
I find myself learning and achieving things that I hadn’t even dreamt of. Is this life some storybook utopian ideal? No, and that makes it all the more interesting and satisfying. It is the journey, the quest, which is providing the real enjoyment for me, and I wanted to take this time as a moment to send out a “Thank You” to everyone and everything. Life is good, and I appreciate it.
(And for those of you who are wondering: No, I’m not taking mind-altering substances, aside from a short night last night 
)
