Day Fifty-three

Another gloriously beautiful day after a freezing cold night (some folk saw the Northern Lights! not me, alas). Slept with a cap on my head!

What emotional pangs did I notice today?

Very tired, stressed-out, fragile-feeling.

What feelings about differences did I notice?

I truly find it hard to sit still, and be patient with people who are slow on the uptake.

What went well today?
Shipped off big translation job and got stuck into a smaller one that also needs doing by tomorrow.
Got identification of a mushroom that grows in my garden: edible, tasty, yummy! Picked and ate a small portion. Picked some lettuce – getting late in the year. Ate some home-grown tatties.
Bumped into a few folk on my four walks into town and back again. One a teacher friend I haven't seen for about a year.
MOT ok.
Booked laptop for overhaul and upgrade. Will have to drive to Glasgow as there are no trains/buses that get me into the city by noon on a Sunday!

How can I make it happen more regularly?

Walk more, garden more, work hard.

What strengths have I focused on today?

Being able to focus when absolutely necessary.

At what point did I feel most authentically myself?
Sitting in the sun; picking mushrooms; taking photos of flowers; walking back from town and into town again to pick up car, then into town and back again before and after choir practice. Cold, clear, calm weather. Very satisfying.



What did not go so well?
Realised I've invited a friend for lunch tomorrow. Yikes, not ready!
