Day 2,899

Growth:

I spent some time going through an old business journal of mine thinking it would be a simple review of old notes. Next thing I knew I was getting ideas, seeing how much I’ve grown, seeing how little I’ve changed, and pretty much everything in between. Honestly, it was so overwhelming by the end that I had to set it down to let it sink in a bit. What I’m most grateful for is seeing how much I can learn from those little notes I write in the margins, the scribbles, the ideas for myself. So many of those little comments were useful and brought back excellent reminders today.

Appreciation:

Becky and I spent a few minutes walking through everything we did this weekend and I’m now even more exhausted – in a good way! Time with family (in person, on the phone, and texting/messaging), mini golf, eating out, getting on the boat, biking, spending time outside, walking, joking, watching movies, playing games, cleaning, planning future vacations, and spending time solo relaxing / reading / reflecting. So much fit into a long weekend I’m grateful for all that we did AND an early bed time tonight to recover before we start the next week!

Presence:

This morning we woke up a little earlier than normal for a holiday and took off for a bike ride while the temperature was still low-ish. While we were biking there were some excellent views of wildlife when we left the road. One spot in particular had a neat surprise – four green herons in one little area! They are a little difficult to see and a lot smaller than their Great Blue cousins, but they’re still very cool birds when the sun lights up their feathers.

Thanks!!!
