Now THIS is midsummer. Honey is still in Israel. Violet is doing Shrek. Zeffi is late. We are preparing for the bat mitzvah.
A bit of perspective today. I track my weight on and off, using an app. I'm too heavy right now and feel uncomfortable. I'm bringing things back under control. Why just a view days ago I said No to a vegan doughnut! At any rate, in tracking my weight again, I see that I'm only 3 lbs more than last year. Mentally, I imagine that I've blown up like a balloon but actually, I've only gained a little. My fitness and strength are lacking but all is not lost. Tracking trends across time give perspective. My brain thinks I've gained 20 in the past year. Truth is, I've been edging up as I get older. I can see the pattern and reverse it. I can call out times of loss and stress which trigger my unhealthy habits. Then pull the rudder back the other way. I think using this journal more may help give me perspective on other parts of my life.
Reading some great books. Bear's Grail, Provenance by Anne Leckie, The Mere Wife by Maria DH. Just discovered Louise Penny mysteries. I'm off news and twitter for awhile. Gives me time to read books and maybe write. Listen to podcasts. Get shit done.
