Friday-

And here it is, another work week gone.
What have I accomplished?
Not much to be honest.
But maybe that's okay.
I have done what I need to do. I am sure there will be more to do and I will do it.
But do I have any great sense of accomplishment? No. Not really.

I will ramble on.. as my thoughts are jumbled.
But, I have one goal today.
Remain positive. By any means necessary.

So, this zen stuff kills me.
I have but one reference on it and he confuses me.
Maybe I put waaaaayyy too much thought into it.
Yesterday, I said that a relationship can be just what it is, with no expectations, no disappointment. This appeals to me. He said,"very zen".
It's easy to do from far away.
But, I wish that I could apply it to my more immediate relationships.

With that being said, the honest truth of it is that you do have expectations every day.
You expect to wake up. You expect to go to work. You expect people to live up to their side of the bargain. And you expect to be disappointed.
That's the sad truth of it. Expectations. Disappointments.
How do you turn that off?

I think I'm pretty accepting of people. I try. I realize that people make mistakes and not to judge or penalize them for said mistakes.
Sometimes it's hard to do. And some people{JB}, do not catch a break in that area because of aforementioned {pesky}expectations.
Point being, this acceptance thing should be fairly easy for me. Just kick back and accept life the way it is. Just take it. No anger. No sadness. Certainly no surprise or regret.

I think I will try that out today.
I'm a duck.
Water roll off.
