Thanks, Zen. Now that I'm on the right path, I find that everything is coming together - a confluence of grace! I love that you mentioned living through wisdom as this is something with which I've been recently struggling. My friend sent me a TED talk that included advice to pass wisdom along lest your bad times mean nothing. In other words, convert suffering to caring. I'm not using the correct words to convey what I mean, but I hope you understand.

In any event, I pondered that concept and asked her "How do I pass on my wisdom without seeming pompous?" She laughed, but I was quite serious; it's a phobia of mine, you know. Subsequently I had this series of thoughts that led me to understanding that "do" is the operative word in wisdom. Living through wisdom includes me and not just the rest of the world. I like it.

Physically: Headache as per usual in the AM
Mentally: A bit skittish, maybe?
Spiritually: Paying attention

I'm off to get ready to go to my very favorite meeting. I've got 35 minutes and it's only 5 minutes away but due to my scattered ways I need to start now!
