Rise at 6:40 - no gym this morning, as it's a day off. Shower, sitting and off to work. Presence is the Theme for this week, and a constant return to where I am in this moment. Easier said than done.
I was sick the past couple of days, so didn't go into work. Some time relaxing at home and being present. The Theme work helps, as I could work on Intention and Presence, rather than giving in to whatever bug was eating at me. Though I had to give into the bug occasionally. Today is a return to work, catching up and planning for the next week. We're still working to complete a few things that have lingered, and I have to be present to keep this from becoming a major frustration issue.
-------------------------------------
I began reading Beelzebub's Tales... this week. I began this two years ago this week, and was unable to sustain it. Perhaps it wasn't the right time, and now is. I have a sense that in this particular 7 year cycle, I'm at the right place, and have built up the necessary capacity to approch this aspect of the Work again. We'll see - this time it has a sense of necessity, between the Guitar Circle courses, Enneagram work and contact with the Bennett group.
-------------------------------------
Slogged through the day, rather unceremoniously. Sometimes you're all there, and sometimes you have to phone it in. Today was a telephone day. A two-cans-and-a-string-telephone day.
Home to a hungry wife, and out for dinner to Ted's. Then, over to Sephora, where our oldest nephew has started to work. It's his first "real" job, outside of wokring at various horse barns - a completely different experience. He's in his element though, and his artistic ability, as well as his social nature, seem to make this a good fit. we'll see how he likes the corporate world versus the barn world. Same politics in a different form.
------------------------------------
Now practice, some light gaming and to bed.
Irregular comments, noticings, and perhaps the occasional observation.
