Day 3,611

Growth:

When in doubt, just get started. While I was kind of wanting to chill today I realized I had a lot I wanted to get done. After eating lunch I decided to just get started and at least make a little progress. Next thing I knew several hours had sped by and I had accomplished more than I was planning on accomplishing all weekend – and it felt great!

Just get started, you never know where it will end up!

Appreciation and Presence:

This morning at Stand Up Paddleboard Yoga the entire ninety plus minutes was a study in presence. Fish were jumping incessantly from the glass like surface of the water. Birds were singing and making noises all around. The clouds were moving quickly across the sky and thunder rumbled in the distance (a very safe distance away from where we were). During final rest I laid with my head turned to my left, facing north, and I took in the seemingly perfectly straight line of the water leading across the lake to the shore, then followed the shore line up and into the spectacular wall of clouds drifting across the sky. So stunning, so chill.

Literally seconds after we ended our session and pulled up our anchors the wind picked up and the storm-front slammed right into us leaving us paddling fast to make headway into the wind.

Engaging conversation with our yoga friends – old and new – as we loaded up the boards while the winds receded.

So many moments of presence and intentionality, such a wonderful experience! Sharing it with Becky made it all the better!

Thanks!!!
