But one of the things that's been my salvation is acceptance and then also be specific. Because, you know, I don't have to accept the fact that I have some kind of adequate self because I don't even know what that means. It's just kind of nonsensical. But if you say, David, you fall short in a lot of specific ways, I'll say, oh, man, practically every way.

But yes, there's nothing about me that couldn't be improved a lot.

What is the Buddha? A dry shit stick? Is that the answer? Right. Yeah. Yeah, that's right.

And Jill was saying, I feel so sorry for these people who haven't yet accepted themselves as just, you know, below average shits. I know.

And it's a dress shirt. So it's really dorky. to be out jogging in this shirt.

But it's because it's light in color and because I've had three ticks got embedded in me and I had to take antibiotics and get them dug out in the emergency room and stuff like that this season. So I just didn't have time to put a nice shirt on. So this is the real David here. with this fancy shirt. You know, it has a special brown color here, which is like sweaty stain.
