Surrender and the serenity prayer is the same thing.
Letting go of things i can’t control is the key to peace.
i completely control what (and why) i keep and what i repurpose, recycle, trash, or give away.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Brighthouse reconfigured our wifi network, at my request, disabling the old network password.
Called iAqualink at 2:41pm yesterday and discovered i need to connect my laptop to the pool device.
i only own Apple created cables, none of which fit this.
Best Buy recommended this SKU# and brought one to the store pick up desk.
Never doubting Best Buy, i discovered, at home, it was the wrong cable.
i trusted them and it didn’t work yesterday. Had to invest an additional hour to return and repurchase. i remained calm and grateful the entire time.
Backstory: Brighthouse came to fix a cable TV issue the day prior and turns out there was nothing to fix. i felt bad for the technician, so i asked if he could take a quick look at my wifi router. It worked fine but he had an idea how it could work better.
This change caused our old network, and password, to become obsolete. The pool app requires special handling. We leave tomorrow for four days. The pool is either going to run non-stop or not at all, since the mobile app cannot be connected. So there’s a time sensitivity to this.
One small thing has multiple ripple effects.
The good news is that even though pressed hard for time, it was still manageable because of good and decent organization and prioritization.

Funny how things on our to-do list can go untouched all day. Not the day to day stuff, but the other stuff we need to do on top of daily responsibilities.
What’s our personal responsibility at home today? To clean up a pile? To create a more efficient system? To purge things? To merge things? To clean? To keep up with chores? To get ahead with chores? To unbury ourselves? Our desk? Our emails? Inside the house? Outside the house? The vehicles? The bills?
This is all separate from mind, body, spirit… and career. This is on top of all that. Overwhelming, right?
