Dragged my ass outta bed earlier than I had to, because I'm trying to get earlier starts that allow me to get more experience out of my morning beside just scrambling to start working. I meditated for an extended time, I made coffee in a relaxing fashion and I had time to just 'be'. It was great. My work focus was good, got many tasks done and more to continue tomorrow. Got Tommy at 5, picked up Lauren from LG Library and we went to SF to get Tommy's Boosted Board. Some construction threw me and we ended up having to drive to Treasure Island and back. Not only did it not phase me, I saw it as an opportunity to see the skyline from there and it was spectacular. We lost 8 min… BFD. Stopped at Sizzler for dinner… I remember it being so much better quality in 'the old days'. Tommy rode his board a bit and commented on how risky it felt and he'd not do it at night…. good to hear. There was a text exchange w/their mom about it and instead of getting defensive or taking any of the bait I instead composed and sent what I thought was a well worded neutral response. It's good to have some time to think.
Gratitude: I appreciate that I'm making progress in many ways on things that are important for me to either continue, improve or change.
Goal: Another good work day tomorrow, on the patio like today, which is so refreshing.
