Good IC session for me yesterday. I have spent so much time there talking about my sitch, yesterday I decided I wanted to focus 100% on myself.

Spent last night at home in my garage working on a little kitchen table I'm building. It's turning out fantastic. Maybe I'm chasing the high of accomplishments, but I'm okay with that. It's fun to learn new things.

Took a day off exercise yesterday because weightlifting on Tuesday destroyed my body. Soreness all over. Soreness feels good. Somehow today I need to drag my bag of bones over to the gym and do it again.

After two weekends with the kids I am off this weekend. Going to try surfing with a buddy for the first time in 3 years. I've never been very good, and usually end up gasping for air most of the time. But when you see a wave cresting, and you have to furiously paddle just to survive... there is no other experience I have felt that just puts you right there, in that moment, forgetting everything about the past, the future, nothing. Out in nature, enjoying the views of the coastline... Sometimes after a 2 hour session I remember getting out of the water feeling completely refreshed, rejuvenated, like a new person. And every once in awhile, if I'm lucky, I catch one of those waves, and I swear it can be better than... yup.
