You can’t make me feel like you do – 10th October 2020

Cool Saturday morning – didn’t exercise for a week or so. Cooler dark mornings – difficult to get out of bed.
Bed annoys – always wake up with a crook neck.
Lazy. Mood okay. Amy is a little cranky – not sure why. Am I selfish?
Read Fanatic – easy read. Last two books took forever. Busy on computer and playing guitar. Fun with that.
Tar Babies in my head – want to play more of my own music but always discovering something new and cool.
Exercise time.

I am so happy and grateful for my books. When I’m finished I can just pick another or to read and hopefully enjoy.

I am so happy and grateful that today will be a quiet day with no kids around. I will miss them though. Almost a month before we see them again!

We got that attitude! – 5th October 2020

I am so happy and grateful that I sat and stretched this morning. I feel much better and less stiff.

To-do list

  • Is there someone you can connect with? ½
  • How about a random act of kindness? ½
  • Listen to more of your own music
  • Keep practising that guitar! ✅
  • Workout and yoga too!

Now it’s the 29th and I’m on school holiday for about ten days. It’s nice not to have to go through the familiar routines of getting up and going to work. I’m curious how I can get back into my morning routines after missing them for so many weeks since it started getting dark in the mornings.

I have to motivate myself to do that because I know I definitely feel better when I do those things in the morning.

I have been good at practising guitar and really enjoying it. I am making slow and steady progress. I do notice more pain in my arms thought but I’m hoping that that will just be muscles strengthening slowly. I’m getting interested in the whole music theory and will pick up a MIDI keyboard soon.

I’ve also been learning Thai with a tutor and can see comparisons in this learning. Got to stick with it – through the difficult periods.

Right now I’m in Phuket for a few days with Amy (meeting up with Fern, who it is great to see again). We are staying in a 5-star hotel and seeing beautiful sights, eating amazing food and we are forever grateful for everything we have. I am generally happy and content with whatever I am doing.

Tonight I looked at the sky and contemplated what a twenty-year-old Shaun would think of the idea of where he is now. I’m glad I never gave up on life even in dark and directionless times too.
