Perspective

Do the best you can
With what you have
Where you are. ~Theodore Roosevelt

...

That's the theme for today. The office is taking shape.
The work week allowed for uninterrupted periods in which to have the time to sit at the computer and write.

I did so. Worked on ideas left sitting on a shelf.
Fired up the old printer and using the technology of USB to
Parallel cabling the old HP Deskjet500 lives!
It's a great day when you make a discovery such as this.

Speaking of discoveries...what an interesting few weeks.

I had a spammer attack my social media page.
I heard about a guy that in an inspired moment announced his intentions to quit his job over the the company PA system.
I had a meeting or two to determine if there was any life left in old projects.

Felt the sting of rejection (both professionally and personally).
Had my spirits uplifted by beloved Friends.
And discovered through a contact that a device exists that will allow you to transfer files from your old hard drives. Who knew?
Like a trip down memory lane. I can access old journal entries and the like. Woo hoo!

Solitude and a litany of quotes helped give me perspective.
I know that I am the one who assigns meaning to whatever occurs.

I choose to reframe some of the experiences into mini-adventures for my Soul.
I choose to allow change.
I choose to not take barbs, personally.
I choose to celebrate the closeness I feel to those who mean the most.

It's an energy thing. I can not give what I do not have.
I am so grateful I have a network of support.
A place where I feel at home.
A place of safety where I can always find refuge.

I had a brilliant week actually.
Many moments that intersected where truth meets wisdom then veered off to that place where the past met up with my present.

I am grateful.
You've shared.
I've listened.

It's all been a gift from the Universe.
I've had the amazing opportunity to use what I have, where I am.

I celebrate the small victories, and remain positive.
It can only go up from here!
