Day 4,012

Growth:

When the opportunity to live into the values you know you should model for others presents itself be sure to jump right on it. This came up a couple of times, and each time I had to pause to make sure I was making the right call. Each actoin was a little uncomfortable for different reasons, but I was grateful for each.

I’m thinking there’s a little something to that… the more we know our values and purpose the more we can live into that person, the more comfortable we become with the discomfort as we know it is coming from the right place. How do I remind myself of this in the future so it becomes an immediate reaction rather than a delayed response?

Appreciation:

My evening spent snuggling with a dog, running the zoomies out of a dog, and then walking a dog. Outside of the dog time I’ve had time to relax, breathe, and take in some time to myself. Definitely missing Becky, but after the nonstop week that was last week the quiet respite feels exquisite. I’m currently listening to music and chilling out as I blog, recounting the day lazily, a long task list ready for tomorrow night, but an evening of calm tonight.

Presence:

Getting in a morning run while talking about life, nothing crazy, upcoming work, our next adventure… All while enjoying a perfectly cool fall weather day. The scent of autumn all around, even in the dark we can tell the leaves are starting to change. Spending some time together while the rest of the world sleeps before Becky heads out of town for a work trip. A wonderful start to the day!

Thanks!!!
