Day 3,216

Growth:

Pausing to observe without comment or judgement can lead to very bright moments of insight. In working with a teammate today the two of us were able to pick out a couple of key concepts to focus on in order to lead to future successes. Had we just kept working away we likely would have missed the insights, so glad we took the time to zoom out!

Appreciation:

After getting home from work I quickly found myself alone at home except for our pup, Leia. Gavin’s hammock was swinging in the wind and I took the hint. I changed out of my work clothes, grabbed my current book, and took Leia outside with me. We spent the better part of a half hour chilling on the hammock, relaxing, enjoying the book (The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy), and basking in the perfect summer weather. Such a perfect way to unwind after work today.

Presence:

While reading a specific hunting scene in The Comfort Crisis I couldn’t help but think back to the time I was sitting with Dominic in a blind while he was hunting. The moment of the buck walking up, Dominic’s focus, the split second of the shot, and the excited nervousness afterwards are so vivid in my memory. Talk about a moment of complete presence!

Thanks!!!
