So after I was typing my last entry on my laptop, I noticed a smudge on my laptop. I may have spent a significant amount of time this past week playing Civilization VI (I heart Sid Meyer), so figured I just spilled something and did not notice since I was killing someone or building something or trying not to kill someone as much as I was tempted. I made note and told myself I would clean it after I finished my reading…after all I’m trying to stick to a reasonable plan here!
So I am reading my book. My shiny, new, 25th anniversary edition, being careful not to bend the spine so it can remain pristine, unlike my old copy which I wrote in incessantly. As I slide my hand from where I was holding the bottom of the page all of a sudden I notice….a friggin smudge! Apparently where I scraped my hand when I fell this afternoon was bleeding through the band-aid. So now, on my fresh, new, glowing bible for this process that should bring me closer to some kind of Zen…I have blood. All this planning and still not a perfect Day 1…after today I succumb to being the Universe’s bitch…for now.
Yours on the Path of Kaizen,
My Blood-stained-Zen Self
PS – I did finish reading Week 1 before writing this post, but wanted to share the irony! I may be the Universe’s bitch today, but that plan was my bitch! Or something like that…
