Whatever Comes

You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give.

Miracles

Miracles are not in contradiction to nature.
They are only in contradiction with what we know of nature.
(Augustine of Hippo, in Flowers Along The Path, by Esther Carls Dodgen, p. 90)

If The Shoe Fits

Human beings are never quite alike, so each of us, when making an inventory, will need to determine what his individual character defects are. Having found the shoes that fit, he ought to step into them and walk with new confidence that he is at last on the right track.
(As Bill Sees It, p. 280)

Don't Project

Art at the November 2015 Artomatic Show

• Don't project!
• Don't imagine the worst;
• deal with your problems as they arise.
• Live one day at a time.

(One Day At A Time In Al-Anon, 11 July)

I've been working on a project to add information about my latest CD purchases to my Music catalog. I uploaded a copy to my Box account.  This allows me to look at what I have when I am away from my own computer.

One Ought

Washington, DC Artomatic 2015

One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.

(Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe in The Art of the Possible by Alexandra Stoddard, p. 69)

Point Of View

It can be upsetting to discover that our own point of view is only one of many options.
(After Thomas Moore in Soul Matters, p. 36)

Defects

2015 Washington, DC Orchid Show

A clear light seems to fall upon us all -- when we open our eyes. Since blindness is caused by our own defects, we must first deeply realize what they are. Constructive meditation is the first requirement for each new step in our spiritual growth.
(As Bill Sees It, Day 10)

I didn't do any blogging, or daily reading, this week.  I needed an attitude check. 

I'm pleased to report that I finally figured out why I couldn't make all of the songs in a Box account folder play sequentially.  They made changes in the appearance of Box and I fell behind.  It turned out to be something simple to fix.  Click on the Gear, then turn on Auto-play. There are many music files on my Box account which I can now enjoy listening to in the background while doing genealogy or while spending time on Facebook.
