This one is just practical. Where do I put all my things? I’ll get to it, but I want to review my week. As I look back on my posts here, I have updated my labels. Now I can reflect a bit more efficiently. Workbench:  Prepare for Auto maintenance

Less is more. Be concise. It’s less confusing and annoying to others. Montessori p.87. Not knowing what to expect, let things come to you, then they will pass. Sometimes they look like they’re coming, but they pass you by and don’t touch you. Overwhelm and doubt can create the Grimacing Tide from within, but taking the time to get centered is the best thing I can think of to do.  On second thought, I can first get centered and brave, to open up and face the Grimacing Tide, inside and outside. The Model of Support: “Hold my hand, look me in the eye, I have something to say that might be hard for you to hear. I’m sorry to tell you, we can’t do XYZ, there was a problem with ABC.” How to Spotlight Awesome People, LOL

“ Got no time for things you don’t understand ”- Spoon Run away or get mad and stand your ground, resolving to get it figured out. Recognize the feelings in your body. I have good energy, so I’m not feeling down or disheartened, but it’s in me now as annoyance and irritation. I am motivated to figure things out. Calculated with math, nice to get clarity. It’s been here the whole time, I just never looked.

Is it possible to start seeing the right way to do most things, because of a lifetime of making mistakes over and over again? Does it get easier to just flow? I just had a glimpse that it does. The Grimacing Tide doesn’t have to come from within. Or does it all come from within?  The outside is what happens, but it’s so confusing. Just Be still. Deep breaths. 

I am not simple. I am aware. I am open, but as I bring in ideas, and store them, the framework within me grows. Feelings and memories get stored , my brain lies to me (so I’ve heard)- but it’s more like the brain needs to fill in gaps because there is no way it can absorb and process everything. My wife is listening to yacht rock as she gets ready for going to work today. I have the day off of work, but I have a lot of work lined up to do. I do best when I take the time to organize my thoughts into my daily structure. My daily structure is the patterns of my life that are repetitious. It starts with the  morning thoughts, then a description of my Physical Health data-namely sleep and water. Then money, then a prompt to review my reminders and calendar.Then there is space for any incoming thoughts into an Eisenhower Matrix, followed by the Mood Meter. Finally there is a Priority Indicator to line up my day. “Trust yourself to be open to God’s inspiration for your course direction, e...

Today Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Foresight is a flower of the Way, and the beginning of ignorance too. I foresee using organization techniques that are effective for providing clarity to me and others. I foresee getting clear on where I want to go with my being, character, self, the type of person I want to be. I foresee being weighed down with all the tools and the naming of things, and organization. The relation of sages to the world is one of concern: they cloud their minds for the world; all people pour into their ears and eyes, and sages render them innocent. Those who know, do not say. Those who say, do not know. Fun little bits of philosophy from the Tao Te Ching. Still priority #1 today is bathroom fan. The fan never worked, so I had to just put the old one back in. 

Delicious.  Shelves Ducts Imperfect machines that can be mended.

What are the routines that are stable, yet keeping us stuck? Lament Ponder Avoid Get in the dirt Enjoy the conversations. Boys town “Teaching interactions” Rationale The Notes App. Amazing. Duct Work

As in missed. Like you missed the bus. Like the dream I am finding myself driving the wrong way on the freeway, with nowhere to turn around. Obligations not met. Being an inconvenience, So far things are on time, but the day is windy and threatening. Mornings can be deceiving. Offshore winds are not the norm, things are topsy-turvy. Going to do some guitar cleanup soon, maybe  starting here Then set it  Up nicely
