Day 2,936

Growth:

So easy to get drawn into the busyness and complexity of life, so difficult to pause and ascertain priorities rather than react to stimuli. The discipline of staying the course can be difficult, but can become easier if I remember to embed routine priority check ins with myself. Make the most of the effort, be efficient with energy, clearly identify what is most important.

Appreciation:

Okay, I know, I’ve said that Becky is the dog person and if it were only me I wouldn’t have a dog, but…

…maybe I’m more of a dog person than I thought. 😉

Presence:

On a four lane stretch of highway on my way home I passed a semi truck. As I did so a red Jeep flew up from behind and was tailgating me. When it was safe to do so I slid into the right lane and let him pass and he sped by, increasing his speed as he went.

In less than a mile the road went down to two lanes and the red Jeep slowed way down even though the speed limit had remained. Next thing I knew I had a choice to make – tailgate him as payback for what he’d done to me, sit back and be frustrated, or slide back and be grateful for the opportunity to practice gratitude and stillness.

The decision took more time than I care to admit, but I finally made the right call and enjoyed the moment.

Thanks!!!
