Today I felt close to myself again.
Somehow I went to sleep with a headache mid-March and now itās April.
Thereās a lot to catch up on, but also, not. It just is.
As long as I donāt lose my white dog on the white sand the day is a success. Small steps.
A rare day to watch the sun rise and then set over the Gulf of Mexico. One body of water, one state, different environment entirely.
Thereās a lot wrong with Florida, but thereās a lot right, too.
You know what are no fun?
Ocular migraines.
Itās amazing how little is known about these synapse thunderstorms. Itās been awhile since my brain tuned into this frequency. Once the pattern starts it seems hard to stop again.
My iPad screen looks like a Picasso. š«„
Sometimes the risk is worth the reward.
Last summer we took a chance, moving to the middle of nowhere on a hunch.
Watching the sun set over the pines doesn't get old. The same blue heron flies over every night to wherever they are roosting. It makes my heart happy.

I just shipped a 20 page strategic analysis. I'm thrilled with the outcome.
Just before release, I started to collapse. There wasn't the bandwidth to finish the doc, be present engaging and posting, and progress with the Sprint.

I'm sure I'm late to the party in discovering Maria Popova andĀ The MarginalianĀ but it is a shining star within the world wide web.

Do we really need to struggle our way to career/professional fulfillment?
The concept that reward is on the other side of struggle is super popular. Heaps of writers look at this from a professional standpoint. Esoterically, the concept of suffering as necessary for soulā¦
Today I agreed to a 2 hr f2f panel discussion.
I am not an overparticipater (you know the ones). I am invested, attentive, thoughtful, and engaged.
Tonight I'm drained.
I thrive doing remote work, leading remote teams, creating flourishing remote spaces.
Know thyself.
Our back door was leaking so we had a storm door installed.
I selected a storm door with a pet door.
Ruby now has free reign to survey her sandy domain at her leisure.
Sorry for bothering you m'lady. šš¾
Storytime:
We didn't need 8 quarts of strawberries.
But when a kid you don't know rolls up solo on her bike on Saturday AM, hawking her school's fundraiser, you find the few actual checks you have left and pay what she's asking.
That's just my opinion āĀ apparently it wasn'tā¦

Evening Thoughts:
What I wrote the other night is true. I loved these books when I was a child.
But it doesn't tell the whole story.
It doesn't tell the story of me devouring Steven King's Christine in the bathtub at 11.
Reading until the water went cold, draining it,ā¦

The very first time I crossed the 7 Mile Bridge I saw a tiny tree growing out of the old Flagler bridge.
I got to Key West and asked my brother. He confirmed the existence of Fred.
Circumstances, choices, and hurricanes have landed me elsewhere. Fred flourishes still.
The Secret Garden is still my fave. The versions where Tasha Tudor illustrates are works of art.
Second is Island of the Blue Dolphins.
Rounding out the top three is King of the Wind.
Baby Sarah had a morose bend to her literary preferences. š
