The highlight of my day today is having stepped outside of my circle of comfort and stretched towards a goal. I gave a public presentation on behalf of Compassion and Choices at a small community gathering in South San Francisco. It was well received. The level of conversation and connection that occurred in the latter half was significantly validating to experience. It makes me all the more convinced that I'm doing something of value, and something core to my character and nature. I took the afternoon 'off' to watch "Beatles '64". Tommy playfully 'shook' me and it felt like biking off a curb. The neck/nerve issues were aggravated and it was pretty obvious. That's concerning. It may not be wise to wait to get surgery. Maybe in January. We'll see. I'll watch "Super/Man" to get inspired.
