I was going over a draft that I wrote almost a month ago. It’s BAD. It’s why people should use drafts. All in all, still better than starting from nothing.

🍿 Good Grief (2023) - ★★★★☆

This was a very beautiful film. Dan Levy allows for some quiet moments where the viewer gets to see some delightful views of Paris. I enjoyed them but I could see where people might scoff and complain about the film not getting on with things.

I think that this is part of the point.

Grief is something you don’t “just get over”.

In the end, another reminder that we don’t know what will happen in the future. This one sweet in that we don’t have to dread and showing that we can move forward.

I was looking at pictures and thinking about how I could have been a better husband and father then.

But, the only important question is how I can be better now.

Finished reading: Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman 📚 - ★★★★☆

I’ve never been so relieved for being reminded that I’m going to die.In fact, there is humor found throughout the book related to this very topic.

Truth is, we don’t really know how much time we have and with this world. You only have this moment in time, make the right choice for you. If it doesn’t work out, you have to accept it and make another choice another action.

I’ll see you next week.

Maybe.

Watching the pilot of Xena: Warrior Princess with my daughter. I remember it sooo much differently.

It’s been a while since I’ve used the board.

Needed a moment to write in my journal. Reset and hit it again.
