Thanks for the reminder to wrap up my work day.

iOS notification of the Seattle Kraken vs Nashville Predators hockey game.

Today is the first day in about a month where I feel like I might be turning a corner with my health. I’m really desperate to feel better and actually have some energy. 🙏

The moment you go down the path of gratitude grievances, you’ll see ungrateful ghosts everywhere.

Capture less than you create

Not a great day today. I’ve been in bed all day feeling terribly sick. Unfortunately I got “glutened” while out for dinner last night which is not a good thing for someone with Celiac Disease like myself.

Keep searching!

Quite from Kazuo Ishiguro: “You shouldn’t get disillusioned when you get knocked back. All you’ve discovered is that the search is difficult, and you still have a duty to keep on searching.”

Since I just finished reading Between Two Kingdoms 📚, I’m now watching American Symphony đŸ“ș. Both feature Suleika Jaouad and Jon Batiste.

I watched just a snippet of an interview Kate Bowler did with Fr. Greg Boyle and he said something that I’ve found myself chewing on a bit this morning.

“I believe God protects me from nothing but sustains me in everything.”

It’s ironic—every time I share what I think is fatherly wisdom with one of my kids, I soon stumble upon a quote from someone far more accomplished that echoes the same thought. I end up sharing their words—not to validate my own, but because sometimes another voice resonates more than a parent’s.

A quote from Peak Performance written by Brad Stulberg and Steve Magness. The quote asserts that growth only happens when people step outside their comfort zone.
