What inspired the previous post
I have yet to reach that level of enlightenment where the opinions of others fail to get a rise from me. Or even the level where I stop imagining that something I do will be judged negatively. At best I've learned to notice my reaction for what it is, and set it aside. Mostly.
In this case, I'm thinking that the yard needs weed-eating, that I'm the one who should do it, that I have the time and the opportunity, and that not doing it might be seen as laziness on my part.
I know it's not, I gave my reasons and they are true. So I should just set that concern aside, and I will. But the passing concern, though annoying, is useful, reminding me to always look to see if what might be an excuse in fact is an excuse — and if so, refuse to employ it.
