I pushed myself to get up, albeit too late to walk to/back from Starbucks, managed to get in a 30min walk and meditation too. Focused well on work tasks. Found a way to retrieve a handful of old unpublished posts and the domain geoffmitch.blogspot.com, which I'm thrilled to have found and figured out. A few work issues cropped up needing prioritization/shuffling and responsiveness and I was there and on it, which also felt great. It's nice to end a work day feeling like I've added value. I had a nice bit of steak w/Jen, we discussed some plans for the rest of the year and watched some youtube shows to learn about fascism, which was pretty eye opening. ♀♂
It was a decent day but nothing over the top great. Thus the :-| in the title. Today's Daily Calm topic, about the positivity trap, set the tone for my morning. It's not realistic to always expect a smile to change reality, and reality is not always changeable. I had too much food and drink last night so I had a puffy and lethargic start to today. Did my meditation, walked 30min, and wrestled with a sense of crankiness that was my undertone at the outset. I need to remember to balance my impulses with their ramifications.
I am looking forward to seeing the kids three nights this week since they're with me Thursday due to a book club Linda's attending.
