Decent morning, meditation and more thanks to early rising. Walking was yet-again-delayed and yet-again-unachieved. I'm trying to understand why, and in part it's due to delaying in order to attend to other demands and others needs. I think that's a weakness of mine, to feel a sense of obligation to forego what I need to do for me in order to do for there, be it work or famliy. But it's also a bad habit and my own failure to follow through and make it happen. That's likely more than 50% of the problem. So, tomorrow, it will. I will get that walk in. Today was one of those days that seemed to be all about auto-pilot. Lauren made cookie-muffins and I took her to get gift boxes for 'em after my meetings. Tonight was the "Great Conjunction" and I was able to briefly observe it using Tommy's astronomy binoculars. It was noteworthy, for sure. I settled in and watched the 1951 "A Christmas Carol", an annual tradition, and I still find it moving and wonderfully made. I also watched Cosmos "Possible Worlds" episode titled "Coming of Age in the Anthropocene Age", which left me wondering again if any real hope remains that the species that occupies this planet won't bring about their own demise. I need to keep focused on being 'in the moment' more, as today wasn't a good one for that. The am meditation and follow up listens were great but the routine still can kick in. Tommy was gone most of the day and pretty distant after last night's contention, but I'm also avoiding getting engaged in any way and that's liklely a good break for the moment. I didn't get far w/the am agenda to manage food, but when your daughter makes cookies…. Right? Tomorrow will be a fresh start again with less possible temptation and distraction, I'll make the walking and better nutrition the top goal for the day.
