Highlights: LMNT Chocolate, hot, with cream, made for a comforting change of routine with my morning water and electrolyte consumption. I plan to try making my own powder blend soon. I cleared away the tools and covered the furniture in preparation for the rains this week. The deck effort will resume once that's passed. Our return to "gentle yoga" at the Y this morning broke what may have been over a month of absence and I definitely felt it. I need to make it a priority to go at least once a week, as it has been beneficial to do the balance and stretching exercises. Mom's appointment went smoothly and re­latively quickly. Her metrics look good, as usual. They are going to get some others involved in her pain management needs. Jen returned with me to the Y for strength training. I bumped up all my weights by 10lbs each. I was glad she returned, this stuff is almost mandatory at our age. This was a full but well balanced day.

Insights: It still strikes me as noteable how so many times I come to a place of seeking wisdom, insight and understanding, I am given it within a short period of time through a seemingly coincidental event; a passage in a book hitting squarely on that point, a song lyric, a passing exchange on observation witnessed or overheard. I used to put this into the same bucket as seeing more white Tesla's after buying or considering buying one. But maybe there's more to it. That whole "Law of Attraction" thing, or that you become what you think about, perhaps, is in play. Or maybe it's the unconscious act of following a path you self-author. Whatever the source, it remains notable to me as, well, being noteworthy.
