Routine really does work well for me. Being back in one is having wonderful results in attitude, priorities, balance and awareness. It can feel surreal sometimes to have as many connections that allow me to have this experience. I owe it to myself to fully engage in daily action towards my goals. Although chilly, the patio was a good place to start the day with that routine of orienting intention. A thought occurred to me wherein our lives are a school, a concept I can trace back to one specific moment in the basement of the house in Lewisburg. No, not abuse, I was alone.  it felt like an epiphany or an innate insight. Yet today, I envisioned the goal of this class. To evolve by carrying the lessons of a previous forward as the foundation of the next. What we perceive individually as the insights and intuitions that fuel our development forward. See how that works!? Scottie is starting to do a bit better. That is encouraging. As is my mom. I talked to a board member about an opportunity to get a modestly paying position. I need to think about it. In an exchange with Marlin, we carved out the termination agreement, and It feels like the right one. Picked up the spare Tesla keys. Had an awesome lunch conversation with Frank. I so appreciate the kinship and the validation. And Jen appreciated the Caesar salad I brought her from Rustic House in Los Altos. This village is iconic and a center of great minds. Innovation is all around this valley. Mark came by to discuss a few quick-hit tasks while he is available. Cardzmania with Jack and Judy went well for the 2nd time. I continued listening to and greatly enjoying "scattershot," and I'm ending the day with gratitude for all of the people in my life that I have known for years and only months, all as influential on me as I aspire to be for them. Especially Jennifer.
