My plan to get up early was thwarted by a good night's sleep and the realization that I have limited opportunities to sleep in. When the kids are here there's no such option, and on days I got into the office it's not an option either. So I milked it. I also took my time waking. One of the things I'm trying to do is wake gradually when I can and go straight to meditate, grabbing a waiting cup of coffee being my only distraction. When I start the day this way, I feel sense of control over the work and personal texts and emails and other demands on my attention. I want/need to take care of what fuels me. It was a good work day but I'm still sluggish from the persistent cold. Walked the dog w/Jen at Almaden park and again in the PM. I watched the 1st episode of "Inside Bill's Brain" and found it so powerful. I'm jealous. I would love to have time, funds and influence to make the sort of things their foundation focuses on, happen. I also listened to "Daring To Drive" and I'm grateful my kids are not growing up in either environments. But sad too that as a 'world power' we certainly don't have the national and/or political focus on bringing about global changes. We spend way too much time focused on things that don't move the world forward.
