King of Kings

What a glorious winter morning scene! The ice clings to tree limbs with a fresh powdery coating of the white stuff, though not nearly enough to require our plowing services. I tried with little success to scrape the half-inch thick layer of ice off the side view mirrors in the work truck. I noticed myself getting irritated, or angry, which is of course preceded by a feeling of powerlessness. Guess I got some "work" to do yet on the path of peace and harmony. I allowed something outside of me to bring me down below the line, but at least I didn't take a picnic basket with me. I noticed it, gave thanks and returned above the line in a matter of seconds. Like I said, it takes practice and no matter how good I get there's always room for improvement.

As if the line at the post office wasn't sufficient to arouse some anger. Rather, I felt peace and joy standing there patiently with a smile on my face eager to send off my application to reserve a shelter at Letchworth State Park wherein I will host a 35th birthday celebration next October. It might sound like overkill in the planning department, but I am actually behind schedule as I missed the cut-off to participate in a lottery drawing for booking facilities at the park in 2007. When I called and spoke with a rep she informed me of this fact so I asked her if I had any chance of getting a confirmation in October, which falls outside the peak season between Memorial Day and Labor Day. She said that my chances were good and so we shall find out hopefully in the very near future. Intuition is telling me to be prepared for spontaneous events during this year of profound transition, so the least I can do is plan a few things in advance. I inquired of the postal clerk how I might go about renewing my passport, which doesn't expire until 2008. She handed me a form and explained the process. I am prepared.

I'm not quite sure how to go about the day ahead. I'm considering meeting up for lunch with a dear friend who lost her aunt to a stroke over the weekend. I also have in mind perhaps going to a movie with my friend Beth cashing in on a free voucher compliments of my bank. I have tentative plans to meet up with this chick I met here on myspace for dinner. Then there's this call on the "six fatal mistakes to avoid in travel writing/ photography" at 8 PM this evening. I haven't even called Andrea yet to make a date. This weekend I have plans to meet up with friends in Rochester for dinner at an authentic Ethoipian restaurant Friday night and I think my cousins are hosting a house warming party. My brother will be in town Saturday evening. No kidding, life is full even though I continue in the luxury of leisure time, thanks in part to a most abnormal winter weather pattern. I have so much to be grateful for and the blessings of this life are many. Carpe diem!

One Love

Anger, SEAN, is a fabulous reminder that there are still a few things being misunderstood.

In all cases.
