All Day Rain

Another BIG rain day.  We've had a number of these already this year -- full, heavy rain.  So much rain that I'll need to take a break from walking outside.  I'm not sure if I'll do the treadmill or not -- I'm leaning toward NOT.  Chiropractor (acupuncture) appointment tomorrow so why not wait for another adjustment.

My back is definitely having periods of feeling better again.  I'm super duper hopeful.

Coaching call yesterday was not bad.  Did I mention I had a SCS coaching call a few (plus) weeks ago about feeling disappointed with this coaching?  She suggested a few things -- one of which was taking the lesson (albeit expense lesson) that maybe I can't get enough value from life coaching that costs this much.  Hmmm.  What that helps is my expectation.  Already spent the money -- lesson noted, now just enjoy the coaching conversations.

We talked about my back (of course), where I am now and what I'm thinking about it all.  All this to say she suggested a book that's floating in her life coaching circle.  She hasn't read it yet, but it's on her list.

The gist from her summary and the intro I read is basically focus on how far you've come, not how far you need to go.  This set back has me focused on how far I need to go (feeling further every week).  She says to focus on how far I've come and the wins I'm still having.

BTW, SAME DAY DELIVERY of this book from Amazon.  Seriously?!?  That was nice since I "finished" the private investor book.  I didn't like it -- I skim read the second half and called it finished.  The PI had been sexually abused and a lot of the book was about the family dynamic around her accusations -- which she started talking about while she invested the rape case.  The parts I found interesting where her insights into how to read people, get them to open up, etc.  The subject matter otherwise was too heavy for me right now.  I can see how it's a good book though, just not for me.  I read enough to get out of it what I wanted.

Rain all day means I need to figure out something to do today.  Spanish for sure.  I took yesterday off so I'll double up today -- one morning study session and one afternoon.  I'm thinking about breaking out the rock painting stuff and giving it a try -- or at least practicing drawing little things on paper first.

I looked over 22 for 2022 list and there's not much I can do right now.  I changed a few given my back situation too.  I could cross them off as not completed, but it's early in the year -- edit instead of cancel.  I tried to keep them in the same vein.  

I ended up with a good chat with neighbors yesterday.  Two dogs were wandering the neighborhood and my neighbor asked for help (the one who owns the pet boutique where my dogs were groomed).  By the time we gathered, the dogs had been scooped up by someone else to find their home and get them off a busy road outside the neighborhood.  A few of us chatted for almost an hour.  It felt good to talk to people.  

I won't be checking in tomorrow morning.  I need to leave by 7 o'clock with rush hour traffic (maybe earlier).  Up early and out the door so no morning routine to speak of except DOGS (!!)

Have a good day -- rainy hump day and all.  Later gators.
