The backstory to these images is an artifact of this journey together. IFAH.
What another great day. I enjoyed the morning mediations and my walk with Jen and the dogs as is the routine. My daily routine seems dominated by Lucky, who seems to think that my getting up means food. It's a problem needing resolution. Mark and Olivia came by my mom's to take in what work needs doing, and he'll follow up and schedule accordingly - it's great being able to help her make some changes that will result in more enjoyment of her home in the years to come. I'm glad she's still kicking (only not as a high... my latest catchphrase). My initial call with CA based "Compassion and Choices" team was inspirational and encouraging. I'm fully in the right space and zone for this effort. We had an awesome time with Kelly and Velma tonight enjoying wine, jazz and laughter. We have many wonderful and valued friendships. I enjoyed the closing of the night chatting with my good friend of some 50+ years at this point… what a gift to recognize that the time that flew by was really rich, dense, and genuine as it played out. It's only in thought and recollection that it seems like yesterday. I'm learning to appreciate the present as 'the good old days' in anticipation of being lucky enough to call them such in 20 years.
