Daily Reprieve

I had a very unusual night with my slave.  For the past few days, I have felt like I have been losing time, or rather like I am lost.  Why did I do this?  Why didn’t I do that?  I carried this general sense of frustrated confusion into my time with her.  I felt as if I were facing a parade of my character flaws.  Truth was demanding a sit down session with me, and decided to inhabit the body of my slave.  her name is tarasha and she said, “Truth is like that friend you cannot stand but cannot live without.” 

Truth was pointing out my negligence to plan.  This is an important part of meeting with my Higher Power and starting out the day.  She quoted the saying I have heard many times; Fail to plan, plan to fail. 

Planning is a prerequisite to consistant action.  And it appears that action is the primary antidote for fear.  I hope the next time I am feeling fear, I take a good look at my planning and review time.  And I have got to keep it simple.  Simplicity is the traction needed to get and keep a grip on life.
