It was a very frustrating day. But if I keep my frustration aside for a little bit, I find it amazing how much of life's patterns repeat themselves. Same triggers. Same pain. Same reaction. The situation does not change. In fact, it will keep repeating again and again. They say awareness breaks the links. I have not displayed this level of awareness. But maybe in time, I will.
Here are a few things that I am grateful for today:
1. Papa is well. I brought him 'The Week' today and he was reading it so happily.
2. Had a really good chat with a friend.
3. Managed to make it for a client call today despite interruptions.
4. Completed the last of a batch of documents. It was exhausting - just getting each one out. But I became aware of just how resistant I was. Awareness is difficult. It is tough.
5. Managed to go to the church. Happened to encounter a sweet, grateful homeless person. How did he get to where he is? I often wonder about the homeless. What all has their nervous system gone through? I have a home. An address. If I stew in my shit, there is some space. What if that wasn't there? What would eye contact with me look like? It gave me a lot to think about.
6. Enjoyed the bhel.
7. Water problem continues in Bandra. But building made some arrangement and we got water.
