Mindset: Flexible. Well, maybe not my body. I didn't sleep well. I'm a little sore from working in the yard and I know I have a few more days of doing more. I'm doing my best to pace myself, so I don't introduce any long-term issues, but I guess at 60 that's how you approach physical labor. Mentally, I'm doing great. A lot of things continue to just fall into place. This morning's calm meditation was about control and recognizing that you have none. I love that. She even quoted with my favorite authors related to this topic. it's a mindset I've been embracing, adopting and incorporating into constant conscious awareness. (That sentence would score high in mindful buzzword bingo.) i'm also feeling better about the direction and momentum of the multiple pursuits. I love this quote by Saul Alinsky - "As an organizer I start from where the world is, as it is, not as I would like it to be. That we accept the world as it is does not in any sense weaken our desire to change it into what we believe it should be—it is necessary to begin where the world is if we are going to change it to what we think it should be."

Anticipation: returning to old Fishermans grotto with my good friend Matt after so many years. We used to go down there with my girlfriend Holly when we were 18. Now we arr going with Jennifer, at 62. I want to relive the experience. I told him he came here with the first woman a dated, and now he gets to come with the last. :-). "Bookends"!
Wants: continued enjoyment of this transitional time in my life and the opportunity to enjoy morning sun and earth casual dog walk in a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day.
