Day 3,612

Growth:

Travel is great, but a healthy dose of time at home feels pretty outstanding too! On our walk this morning Becky pointed out that this was the first weekend in about a month and a half that I was home the entire weekend. No travel, no commitments, just time at home. While I kept myself plenty busy during that time (more on that in a sec) it was very rejuvenating to be here all weekend.

Appreciation:

Nothing like finishing up a project to help boost joy and satisfaction! Sitting on the deck having a cold beverage with supper felt all the better after finishing up the deck this weekend. All that’s left is the clean up of the removed materials and a little caulk once the weather will be dry for a while. Today I was able to wrap up the railing and the last of the trim, nice seeing the finished project!

Presence:

I totally got lost in the moment while I was working on the trim piece of the deck today. Based on the odd angles of a few different components there was a lot to work around as I cut the final trim board. All those cuts really kept my mind right there in the moment focused on what needed to happen. One mistake would have been rough! There were also moments of focus like that as I worked on trouble shooting a couple of components on the railings that didn’t go quite as smoothly as planned. Regardless, it was a very gratifying feeling to work through those challenges and to engage my brain in that way!

Thanks!!!
