Day 3,655

Growth:

Sleep… Oof! Even after a night of great sleep I am still feeling the aftershocks of staying up so late on Sunday night. Times like this help embed the point even more deeply into my mind to take extra care of my sleep patterns, to nourish and cultivate the habit of seven to eight hours of sleep. The ongoing negative impact is always further reaching than I initially estimate.

Appreciation:

What a gift it is to be able to return the kindness of others with someone else! Throughout my professional career I’ve been so blessed to have many coaches and mentors who have helped to guide me when I needed it. My heart is full when I’m able to channel their insights, knowledge, and passion for helping others to assist someone else. They will likely never know how much their positive impact has continued to ripple on through so many of us to so many others. To be a vessel of that shared kindness is deeply fulfilling.

Presence:

I was completely enthralled reading chapter X of Cormac McCarthy’s masterpiece, Blood Meridian. The entire chapter is focused on a portion of the backstory of the judge and held me completely rapt just as it did the first time I read it. The way McCarthy breathes life into the judge is truly mesmerizing!

Thanks!!!
