Day 3,375

Growth:

Sometimes you just need to start all over on a project. Throughout time the layers of paint thicken, crack, and peel as the layers get thicker and thicker. Rather than add another coat it’s best to strip it all back down and start fresh. Heck, maybe even up out all the old drywall and start from the studs. That’s where I’m at with a rather large remodel project of sorts.

What’s really caught my attention is how once I accepted that I needed to start over rather than just patch my entire perspective changed and I’ve got my head in a much better place to get it all done. Still difficult knowing how much work there is to get done, but there’s also an increased level of excitement.

Appreciation:

Nothing like sitting in someone else’s desk to remember how much you appreciate their performance! Taking time to fill in during the holidays has been an eye opening reminder of how each role impacts the others. So easy to get lulled into thinking I remember all the details until I’m into them! Today I’m very appreciative for the opportunity to get my perspective back in line.

Presence:

With all the stress of work at the moment I’m a huge fan of a little fiction to help my brain unwind. I’ve fired up Stephen King’s Billy Summer for my current foray into a fictional world. Drive time hours melt away into seeming seconds with the master storyteller weaving one of his finest.

Thanks!!!
