"A Journal of Recovery & Reinvention"

I don't do "journaling." Not sure why. I know there's value in doing so. Just never appealed.

A blog— for some reasons (unknown at present and not interesting enough for me to learn more about)— is easy for me to do. "The medium is..." perhaps.

So this blogg about my recovery and reinvention. Narcissus 'r' Us this is not— at least not me and not this. I am committed to transcending the "bondage of my self" (with a lower case "s"). More, what this is in the spirit of Seth Godin writing his blog to learn and sharing his process & discoveries. To wit; starting by dicting around...

re•cov•er•y
noun
1 a return to a normal state of health, mind, or strength : signs of recovery in the housing market | he's back at home now and he looks all set to make a full recovery.

____________________

 re•in•vent
verb
change (something) so much that it appears to be entirely new : he brought opera to the masses and reinvented the waltz.
• ( reinvent oneself) take up a very different job or way of life : the actor wants to reinvent himself as an independent movie mogul.

This journey requires three things that I've noticed are of paramount importance (so far): Acceptance. Courage. Wisdom. They're laid out with more poetry & power here:

GOD, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.

I must learn to employ acceptance at every turn. Job #1. Courage (from the origin of "having heart." And wisdom, which I'm pretty convinced I have none of. None of us do. It's not a "man's" thing. Wisdom comes from GOD, therefore: THY will not my will is where wisdom lives.

So, at 64...
