It’s been a mixed bag. Some loss, some gain in the friends department. …a second chance with my main client.

I’ve decided that next month, I’m going to start writing again. I want to finish my books. I want to get organized. I want to accomplish things. Same old story.

My ex has a girlfriend. It’s odd. I don’t feel jealous. Initially, and for the first day, I felt almost possessive. He was “mine” for almost 20 years. I’m okay now. I’m concerned about my kids. I think he’s being inappropriate, but I can’t protect them from that. He’s their dad. Suffice it to say, she’s moved in with him after one month of dating. There’s more, but it’s just more of same.

I started socializing again, for the first time after the assault. It felt nice.

I recently bought a ring and had two saying inscribed in it. I wear it every day. The first is about Mindfulness and the second about Gratitude. Things I want to think about daily. I think they have made my attitude better already.

Today, I’m cleaning and doing laundry. Which isn’t fun per se. But there’s a lot to being in the moment.

I have so many sayings going in my head right now.

The first is:

The devil’s in the details. (Whatever we do should be done thoroughly.)

A terrific Biblical Proverb is:

If a job’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well.

Another of my favorite sayings is the Zen Proverb:

Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water.
After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water.

Okay, sufficient terrific theory and on to the work!

Enough assessment. On to locomotion…
