Day 3,850

Growth:

Take a moment to center, remember the goal, prioritize, and take action. Remember not everything can be done at one time, and certainly not by one person. Pause, prioritize, and work your way down the list. One step at a time, don’t look too far ahead. Focus.

Appreciation:

Sometimes you’ve just got to drive it like a rental, right? I had to take Gavin’s car in for a little bit of work today – a tiny little 2017 Honda Fit with a MANUAL transmission. Seriously, it’s like Mario Kart in real life, except you can only choose the tiny cars! For reals, that car is so much fun to drive. I didn’t do anything unsafe, rather, I took advantage of driving the tiny little stick shift as I used to drive my old Civic Hatchback in the day. Ridiculously rapid acceleration, strong G’s while cornering, and – of course – a moonroof wide open as the tunes blasted at max (special thanks to The Offspring for the soundtrack of the day)!

Nothing quite like the thrill of driving a go cart like a kid when the opportunity presents itself!

Presence:

Watching a slowly spreading pool of yoga sweat growing on my mat with a fresh drop being added every second and a half or so while in half pigeon this evening was a moment of quiet presence. In that moment I could feel each bead slowly forming and rolling down my forehead until gravity pulled it away and dashed it towards the ever growing puddle.

Yup, more than a little gross, but in that moment there was nothing else in life, only my breath, the sensation of my muscles stretching, and that puddle. No stress, no tasks, no noise – only existence. Exactly the moment I needed tonight!

Thanks!!!
