Acknowledging Feelings

Hello Everyone:

Today's meditation was on the feelings beanth the surface. Sometimes the feelings are pleasant and other times they are not. The negative feelings sometimes rise to the surface when the surface gets churned up. My takeaway is the feelings beanth the surface needs to be acknowledged and dealt with. This afternoon's writing session is a good example. It was usually noisy in the Business Center. The noise was from people taking meetings but I managed to tune it out. However, late in the afternoon, a group of primary school students came in for their weekly tutoring session. The teacher is one of those who like to "be friends" with their students. The students were loud and running around. I can sort of understand because the students were in school and still had energy to burn. Still, the students were in school until about 3:15pm and the session started at 5:00pm so they had time to decompress. The teacher couldn't keep her students in line and it was distracting, to say the least. The students were shouting at full volume, making me more annoyed than I was already from Safari (sorry Apple).  I was just about ready to go over to the group and tell the teacher that she needed to get better control of her students.  I was really getting frustrated with the unruly children and Safari.  I did manage to finish the long post, noise and all. Tomorrow should be quieter. The surface was definitely churned up today. I have a tendency to keep things to myself. Force of habit. I figure if I can't fully verbalize how I'm feeling, at least I can write about it. I suppose that's what keeps me from going too nutty. I did manage to apply to a couple of jobs today. They were good prospects. Anyway, I'm tired and all I want to do is watch television. Turning the kitchen over  back to it's un-Passover state can wait.
