T - 4 Days

Until I'm 52 -- crazy how fast these last 2 years have gone.

Coaching yesterday was all about goals.  It was a fun conversation with a little bit of coaching mixed in.  I told her about a meditation experience asking the question -- how can I become my future-self.  The thoughts that came up were I don't need to become, I am her already.  What I need to do is let the old layers fall completely away.  It's about letting go, not becoming.  Letting go what doesn't serve me anymore.

She liked that idea and said it's like sculpted rock -- not creating, just taking removing what doesn't belong.  At the end she said when she gets inspiration, she writes it down to later journal and brainstorm -- like her thought about the sculpture.  Ummm... that was my meditation thought.  Yes, she switched it to rock (which we've all heard before), but this wasn't HER big insight today.

Guess I'm being petty, but source your idea when I JUST SAID IT.  That's what I mean about her being a novice coach.  AND, no coaching next week AGAIN.  Good lord.  

Rock painting yesterday ... drew my boys.  The one was okay until I sprayed it, the other is spot on (if I do say so myself).  My eldest is on a darker rock and it darkened too much.  Oh well.  Also, I have a new sealing spray and I think it might run the paint.  The other kind isn't available for delivery so I think I need to make a trip to the hardware store.

Before spraying

Looks just like him.
Beard makes it easy get the look.
Also, SUNGLASSES.
Eyes are HARD to paint.

You can see the after difference on the right.
The other looks the same sprayed.

The yellow rock bled the red
when I sprayed the new spray.
I was able to fix it, but I need to test
the new sealer again.

Rocks are ready for the hike on Saturday.  I did more sharing too.  Graduation package to my niece and birthday for my sister and I included a couple of rocks for them for their walk -- themed to graduation and birthday.  I also put more in our neighborhood -- some of the better ones.  I had been leaving the less-than ones, but now that people are taking them -- got to look good.  I wonder if people think a little kid is painting them -- hah.  That's why I put out better ones -- hello, Ego.

Cleaning crew this morning and the last day of my alone-time.  More journaling, thinking, relaxing ahead of another birthday.  I changed up some goals and I like it a lot.  Stay tuned ...

Hope you have a great day.  Later gators.
