Back to basics....

My many remakings are remarkable in their own way. Each, to varying degrees, includes body, mind, and spirit. Each requires being proactive, rather than reactive.

Running always provides the necessary rubric. Running enables me to: regroup; renew; rework; reorganize; remember; and reenergize.

Running is not static; it requires constant movement. So too do I. Running is my restorative.

Back to basics again

Back to basics for me always means slowing down and keeping it simple.  Today I had nothing planned except month end work.  I was able to organize a few things, and get rid of a few more.  I hung out in the hammock with my Son.  We watched some of the Olympics trials and got motivated in so many ways - what a great group of athletes!  I read the New York Times and more of Peter Kaminsky's Culinary Intelligence.   

Most importantly, I took time for a run and to make a family dinner at home.  In the end, all is well....

Adjusting again

I am reminded again that adjusting is a key to successful living. When I don't adjust, I end up resentful and grumpy. When I adjust, I accept what is and get through the day as best as possible. Some things don't get done for sure, but overall I am more at ease.

I love routines and structure, but they too often don't work with my current schedule. I will do as best I can and give myself credit for that.

I accepted today for what it was. For that acceptance I am grateful.

Tonight is another chapter; let's see what gets "written."
