Steadfast Seaweed

Steadfast:  Constant; not changing, fickle, or wavering.

“Can we steadfastly content ourselves with the humbler, yet sometimes more durable, satisfactions when the brighter, more glittering achievements are denied us?”

I can say confidently that my life before I started recovery was not a huge lump of steadfastness.  I was less than constant.  I changed, I fickled, I wavered, oh my.  I was not a fan of humble satisfactions.  That sounds like a piece of dry toast to me.   Durable is a washing machine, not a Ferrari, which glitters brightly.

Glitter:  To be showy, colorful, and attractive.

This doesn't really describe me, either.  A black trench coat and mirror sunglasses, at night, in a dark alcove of a dark bar playing dark music is not colorful.  It was depressing and vaguely menacing.

Big, big Seaweed tries to get right-sized.
