Mindset: Cluttered Calm - I feel relaxed. I enjoyed. getting up relatively early, walking the dogs, enjoying fresh air and heavy mist. Yet my day is in a bit of a state of limbo. I don't know whether I'm going to walk with Johnathon and get coffee this morning. I don't know what's happening with my mom's cat and veterinary appointment, so I feel slight apprehension about deep diving into any project that will be subsequently interrupted.containing and controlling the level of interruption and distraction remains a priority for me to be successful in the progress I need to make for my business ideas. I am excited about the opportunity to lead a Dharma talk at Jikoji Zen center. It's something that would give me good practice and would allow me to incorporate the more introspective spiritual aspects of the type of work I want to do.
Goals: work through and take action on the stack of paperwork that I've left on the dining room table for a week. Draft my "need to know" reference sheet for exitidy. Outline of speech discussion agenda for Jikoji.
