Did what I could

I always thought my blog would should be like a good miniseries; each week would be something you would wait for, get a rush of excitement with unexpected hidden twists, then be unfulfilled waiting for next weeks episode to see what happens after that. This week has been nothing more than how to keep progressing while coming down with some type of cold or flu. Instead of jumping into each day with excited anticipation it has been a week of doing what I can. I had those old shortcomings of "take a rest, take it easy, this is "a sign" to slow it down, but one of the major flaws I have is to look for those excuses, look for those well deserved breaks, or as I like to call them, "My Grandma moments". If  I wanted positive reinforcement, I'd talk to my grandma, no matter what I did or didn't do, Grandma always made me feel perfect, unfortunately years later, I can see perhaps where some of my reenforced irresponsibility may have come from. So instead of taking a break, or as it was pointed out in one of our I Ho Chuan meetings, "Falling off the wagon" and not realizing how far you fall behind, I pressed on as much as I could, which made my numbers fall not too far behind.  Also this week there has been a lot of self reflection, looking at my thoughts, behaviours, rationalizations, justifications; do other people have these thoughts and moments like I do?  For example; I have to get my speedometer checked on my truck, there is no way I could have been following some young guy who ran a stop sign, to a gas station 20km away, at 130kmph, then knocking on his window to discuss driver training and for some reason him crawling over to the passenger side of his vehicle during the conversation, it's not me, right?  Then on another note, letting something that should have been discussed at once with someone close to me, rather than letting it build for a couple of weeks until something non related set me off and then the monster from within lets loose vs having a civil conversation, everyone does this, right,.......I don't think so. I guess there's a lot of room for improvement yet. Robert.
