Time: Then and Now

Not quite a month since Quiet Times for Sale, things are much different. Eventhough I'm still powerless over time and certainly powerless over managing my own life (or anyone else's for that matter), I'm finding that applying the steps to this area of my life has been indispensable.

I have often lived under an amorphous cloud of everything I had left to do. I have surrendered this area of my life, am receiving daily divine guidance in this area, continue to share this experience with others (at this moment, in fact) and am making restitution where possible. As a result, I'm accomplishing more than I ever have and am peaceful, not overworked.

I'm looking forward to continuing this journey. I must be careful, however. I have always believed that if I could just "accomplish" everything I planned, that everything would be perfect and I would at last be truly happy. That's just not so. I became truly happy while experiencing the miracle of being saved from spiritual, physical and emotional death. I became truly happy when I stopped living as a zombie (alive physically, but unanimated from within), came to know myself, came to know my God and began to truly live.

Yes, I've been happy even with that amorphous cloud hanging over me. That I get to live a more productive and more peaceful life without it is just a bonus.
