Mindset: Paralysis by Analysis. I'm struggling with a need to write, yet the most optimal tool is my laptop, for numerous reasons, even though I love the remarkable. Yet the level of effort tied to writing requires significant impulse control and focus. Being on the Swiss army knife that is my Mac complicates things. Yes, even though there are apps for doing so, and 'focus' mode, it's deeper than that. Our social habituation to spinning up five plates on five wobbly sticks is ingrained to the point of likely being instinctual in future generations. But I'm trying it out.
Goals: Complete as much prep and packing as possible today to make getting up and leaving for Arnold tomorrow as leisurely as possible.
Anticipation: CHM with Jen and Matt B.
Gratitudes: A cool morning on the patio and a seemingly declining heat pattern. Fall feels right around the corner. Additionally, the time spent with Jen last night was intensely powerful and genuinely positive. I was literally chuckling with joy over how connected we are and continue to be throughout all of these past years and experiences. The only efforts made are related to learned behavior from prior relationships throughout numerous decades. We have something gratifying, and it's good to get lost in it for a while.
