I'm still working on refining, improving and adopting some habits, and frankly hope I always will be. The 'strides' app has been great. I've only owned it for some 5+ years and attempted to use it as many times without getting the appropriate traction, but it's sticking and it's not just encouraging, it's fun. Fun in that I'm not taking any specific goals too seriously. I'm throwing a marker out ahead of me and jumping to see if I can reach it. Then, refining it after enough experience to find the right balance. In any case I'm finding this a really fruitful exercise. My patience with Tommy, for example, and not reacting to triggers. Or the presence and engagement and efforts I'm making to carve out more time to read, it's all proving worth the effort and investment. My day included meeting Marlin in LG for coffee and it was surprisingly pleasant, a balance of some work and some personal conversations. He's pretty optimistic about 2021 for the company and that is encouraging. I took Tommy to LGSR on the way there and back. Jen made a wonderful keto chicken dish. I'll be writing about it separately but the news did come, as expected, that Paula passed away late this evening, about 1hr before writing this. I had already set the Alan Watts book out on the headboard to read from tonight, likely right about the same time, and I will be doing that shortly to conclude my day, and to focus some thoughts about somebody that's come to mean more to me in the past few years than all those before. I think in great part because she had insight, familial experiences and wisdom I was in need of and ready to receive.
