I Have Lived In Both Worlds Now

Hmmmmmmm...Let's see.  Let me weigh this out...

I am up for a promotion...Do I want it?  It includes a pay raise. $ 6.25 a day increase. It includes breathing.  It includes Spirit Soaring.  It includes physical healing/health.  It includes feeling Emotion.  It includes Freedom.  It includes Personal Growth.  It includes Smelling good.  It includes an increased Social Life.  It includes walking to the fence line in the snow barefoot, in a teeshirt and shorts, knowing that if I can get to the fenceline and back again, I can have warmth and hot chocalate when I return.  

No Promotion Includes... Demotion... Decline in pay. Higher Insurance rates.  Higher health care costs. Inability to Breathe.  Spirit shriveling.  Physical health shriveling.  Inability to feel.  No Freedom.  No Personal Growth.  Stinking to high heaven.  Decreased Social Life. No walks in the snow, cause I can't breathe, and have no circulation, no physical stamina, will die if I try to.  No energy to make hot chocalate.  This job has maxed out and I can go nowhere but down, down, down.  Depression ...Anxiety.  Fear.  

Hmmmmmmmmm.  I have lived in both worlds now.  I do think I will continue to  CHOOSE my self induced Promotion.  I think I will continue to CHOOSE that Promotion, because it will have the Domino effect of more and more and more Promotions in my future, there is no limit to the Promotions presented to me.  

All I have to do, all you have to do to obtain this Promotion, is NOT ONE PUFF EVER.  One day at a time.  Walk to that fenceline folks.  Keep your eye on the prize. 

YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT................................

Soaring ,  soaring,  soaring........................hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!  Hoooooooohooooooooooottttt!!!!

See you all in a while crocodile...............a long, long while, cause I am living out loud..................
