Little things are on my mind lately. Little things that distract me, give me undo concern, or give me the opportunity to overcome those concerns… Little things that seem to be high potential for making things better, micro improvements to the day-to-day life, that will intern affect the overall quality of life, Little things like …

The theme returns, Small Moves… Progress has no patience, but the queue remains, so long! No matter, one thing at a time the only way, For some tasks, it’s set things in motion, let others do their work, then circle back, For other tasks it’s all yours, hands on, so the work directly and swiftly …

I got a polite, professional talking-to recently. It did me good. Too loud, too bossy, too invasive. All those things I strive not to be. Watching my kids soccer game, “too” into it, too vocal. True dat, I CAN be noisy. I certainly get excited. I get fired up. Good check, tempering down. Good practice, …

Annual ritual, Fall Break, kids off school, so we search for adventure. This year, closer to home. SF Wandering…a few different parks, Chinatown…even looking for a parking place was an adventure of sort… Getting out and about, seeing some new / old places…adventures not so far away, GOOD.

Stop the worrying, start the deep breaths, week off with the kids for love’s sake, Just feel things slow down, LET things slow down, it somehow the simmering angst persists, Why so, why so? Stop reacting, stop fretting, start realizing these are the best moments, the moments that matter, Stop the flip-flopped priority of work, …
