here come the riddle, here come the clue, if you were really smart you'd know what to do
It feels silly to post a little musing on how things are well. Of course, that truly is the state of things; economic woes continue to be the most persistent issue; added to this is the joys and stresses of being productive and perhaps overextended.
My room highlights the extent of my progress. There are still serious pockets which need reexamination and to be thoroughly analysed. Though I do believe in the merits of a spring cleaning, a winter's cleaning is just as beneficial in my opinion. Because of months of hard work, I have a basic structure which continues to be strengthened and supported. At times, there is a sense of stagnation but there seems to always be a way to shake away the lethargy.
This isn't meant to say that resting on my laurels is a good idea, nor is it wise to use this as a moment to flaunt my progress. As discussed earlier today and in general with others, there are some messes, some blemishes in my life by past actions and perhaps current actions that could impede some of my larger, broader goals. In terms of simplicity and progress, the minor steps are still being taken.
My life currently revolves around 3 components:
1. family & friends
2. AA and service
3. Occupy
As pointed out, there really should be a 4th, perhaps most appropriately labeled as "0" --economics. While my days are busy with paperwork, assisting others in as many capacities as possible, the stark reality is that without any sort of income, true progress, the long term changes are permanently impeded. I've created a framework with which to live and I believe I am starting to thrive, not merely survive. New friends, new allies, new opportunities are arising.
Tiredness has settled in. Exercise has helped stabilise many of my problems, if not outright eliminated some. I'm happy to continue, even if today I was a bit grumpy. This isn't necessarily mania; it just feels like growing up.
