Highlights: A wonderful (and long) walk with Brian & Patricia through Almaden Lake Park, followed by time talking at Panera. It's been years since I/we have had a chance to connect with these two together and I greatly appreciate and enjoyed talking to Patricia. She's got a fascinating backstory and a strong self-awareness. I'm hoping we make this a routine thing to do by exploring other paths over the months ahead. Jen and I both played around with the Jay Shetty AI prompts to dig into personal goals and barriers. I like what's come up so far and will be incorporating it into the week ahead. One change being to reduce the rambling 'stream of consiousness' aspects of these daily entires and focus instead on truely noteworthy highlights, events, accomplisments and of course, gratitudes. Always about the gratitudes, including the aforementioned walk and moments of reflection on where we live, the lives we're living, the work we've done and the friendships we've maintained.
