Sup!

Can you tell when I got Covid?

Graph of body weight over a one year period.

I’m going to start writing down some end of the day questions. I’ve identified the following 3 that resonated with me.

  1. What went well today?
  2. What do I want to improve on for tomorrow?
  3. What is my favorite part of today?

Should

I’m someone who says a lot of things about self improvement. And I have to say that I’m a much better person now than where I was 10 and 20 years ago.

This doesn’t mean that I’ve hit all my goals but it does feel good to know that I have made progress.

Unfortunately, it feels like a lot of the things that were promised as the American dream are just outside of reach. That I’ve squandered a lot of the opportunity that was in front of me. I hurt myself with the word “should”. I “should” have a house. That house “should” be big and go with my luxury car. I “should” have an astounding career. I “should” be in great shape. “Should”, “should”, “should”.

The expectations hurt.

I’m reminded that I shouldn’t “should” on myself.

It “could” be worse.

I am grateful for the things that I do have in my life both material and not.

The ability to simply take this time to write this and see my thoughts is comforting in that I know that when the future me sees this…

Well, I don’t know.

But I do know that I will be kind and understanding that the present me was doing the best that I could.

I can’t find my notebook 📓 and it’s really throwing me off.

I just hit a high as far as weight and blood pressure is concerned. I’ve got to get back to my regular exercise routine.

I just spent the last two hours trying to get the meta tags working in micro.blog. I should push this kind of thing to the test blog.

Good idea @fahrni 🍺night!

Somewhere in this picture is a “gift” that my dog made.

Careful where you step.

Leaves on the ground.

Something about this felt sad and hopeful at the same time.

Still working on my Novel for NaNoWriMo….

Although very, very slowly.
