#472 Awareness and Acceptance

Hello and happy Thursday! On the morning of March 25th Tom walked Zen from 5-5:30 am. He entered his complex and soon discovered a homeless dude chilling inside the gated complex. Immediately Tom had PTSD (if you heard the last episode you'll understand). Tom was standing with Zen and when he asked the man to leave, he did. A ton of weight dropped off Tom's shoulders. Tom walked in and by 6:30 he was in a heated discussion with his new internet provider about the non-working Modem and the fact its replacement was not received over the weekend as promised. Then Tom thought he threw out a cord he needed. This was Tom's birthday morning. He was pretty much done for the day. BUT! The best version of Tom took a few deep breaths and decided to just do one thing. Which led to one more thing and before you know it Tom was pleasantly, surprisingly recording this episode. Tom has never recorded an episode on his birthday nor has he ever recorded an episode feeling like he felt. The more Tom recorded the more victorious he felt. As the recording of the episode ended, Tom knew that because of how he responded he was guaranteed a better day than if he would've given in to the older version of him reacting to how the day started. Awareness and acceptance are key! Enjoy, and as always, thanks for listening!
