When I first heard the term “King Baby” I had to laugh. Yes, that’s me; I want it right now, and my way! I turned to my sponsor and asked, “where the hell did they come up with that?” He laughed & said, “read the book!” Then, a few years later, they came out with a follow up title, “Queen Baby!” Everyone wants to manage well. I tried my best and failed. Yet I continue to try. The only difference is, today, I can take a deep breath and ask for help when I catch myself wrestling with life on life’s terms. I can call another person to discuss the issue d’jour. Like you said, “this too shall pass.” It does!
Yesterday at Cyclelogical coffee with Dick, we laughed out loud at the kindergarten drawings on the board behind him. One showed a man stressed out, both hands on his beer mug. Like me, struggling to manage things.
My demands to deliver my wishes now gets painful. Want relief? You told me to call a friend and tell on myself! Tears and laughter open new pathways.
Later at El Rancho, Bobbie and I sat in a both where she waited tables over 40 years ago! Our waitress smiled, delivered our lunch specials, and we caught up on the latest waves in life. For over 2 hours, it was delightful. The line from the song, “You’re not alone anymore rang true.”
Thanks for the gifts that deliver hope and gratitude in the Spirit of LOVE.
