I love these images, and that they're out on display some 17 years later.
I've been testing something out this past week. I'm trying to wake gently and before getting up, to just reflect on and contemplate the day ahead. To gratefully focus on the rug beneath me, and to be conscious of the opportunities I have in the day ahead. As well as the idea that there are no guarantees there's another to come. To that end, and in the spirit of my wanting to spend more time being connected to and engaged with others, I walked with Lauren on her way to school again. This time to .82m out before heading back. I also want this to be a way I can get some exercise and some solo time too. It's working well. And, when I return, the dog walking gives me some time with Jen before I dive into work. I'm trying to not compromise on meditating. I've not worked out the right balance yet but I will. The BIG meeting was good, I thought. I feel compelled to speak more than others seem to but I'm trying to improve my listening and paying attention to what others have to say. Old Soul order arrived. Tried using the vacuum sealer Matt gave me and 30min later it was still not doing what it's supposed to. Irritating and aggravating trying to understand WTH I'm doing wrong, or if it's just defective. Time suck. Lauren came home and she, I and Jen made pizzas that were excellent. I ended up not going to SRC and instead, dropped Lauren at work and joined the geeks at Rock Bottom. It struck me, as it does occasionally, how long we have known each other and how we're aging. It's good to age. It's better than not. I also recognize that we're eventually going to go our different directions but unlike the time I went to El Dorado Hills, we'll have options like zoom to maintain our long-lasting routines. That's something I'm grateful for. Picked up Lauren at 10.30 from day 2 at YL. Sounds like it went well.
