Highlights: Returning to journalling after returning home. I'm very happy to be home. I had a wonderful time in Boulder, yet my time there greatly reinforced how much I want to spend my time at home with Jen and Tommy and see more of Lauren and my mom. I've used the past four months to venture out and about, travel with family, visit friends, attend zen retreats and more. It's been a rare opportunity. Now I need to focus on what's next. Since returning Saturday, I got to see Lauren on Monday when she came for a 1-day turnaround for further dental appointment needs. Jen, Tommy, and I went to Ikea. He got a new bed and mattress, which barely made it into his Tesla. It was akin to a Tetris game. I'm hunkering down this week as I focus on helping Jikoji manage newsletters and SAS accounts. Jen's leaving for Portland for six days tomorrow, and I'll be home-bound but still active. The 'dog door' I put in has started working.
Gratitudes: The time spent on the Denver trip and the realization I came to there. And that I have made significant headway in my efforts to heal myself, my kids and my outlook after not just a couple of years of very difficult transitions but from a lifetime of not seeing the bigger picture.
Oh, and today I learned that dogs poop in alignment with Earth's magnetic field. Fascinating!
