Commute, 2hrs. Just about. In office now, about to head to Ops meeting. The entire drive, vowing to stop overthinking and overcomplicating… Coffee. Walking to the other building in a bit. Driving through Napa has me in a wine business. No moves made obviously, since I’m not letting myself take on anything new. Just making…

Change in the company, and there is a new Story for me…. Coffee, sound of an airplane over our Vacaville home.
Caring for SELF, in a new way. Email account having issues, and I’m refusing to let it do anything to my mood. Coffee…. The book. Work tomorrow, in the office, build more of the Story of a Consumer Sales Trainer. The notes and lessons, how it extends out of the role itself— Nothing to write…
The idea for one more blog, avowed the last I will ever start, in motion. Documentarian approach to not just writing, but life. The SELF-Care theses and mind, study.
…….. And, NO OVERTHOUGHT. That’s the root of many problems and stresses… the rest of my life, SELF-Care Composition. Coffee, love, peace, quiet, study…. Every “thing” in the Now, is a Story. Is a lesson, suggestion, something from which to learn, and create… I could write a fucking book and build a career on…
Meeting in a little bit. This week, OWNING this gratitude. Thinking a second ago, washing hands, I have everything I need.
There is nothing I need, or even want. The basics – clothes, sustenance, roof, transportation, SETTLED. So… I celebrate what’s present. Finally started the #professormikey workout playlists. Just started, only like 8 tracks downloaded, but it’s something. I’ll test it on today’s run, my third in so many jours. Only 5k today, maybe 3.25 mi…
WFH. 08:52…. Dominant idea for week, OWN. From the Onus idea and stress throughout my teaching “career”.
Just got back from coffee with Nurse. Talking about the weekend we just had, how we needed it, and while her and I offered thoughts and insights and reflections, I thought about organizing the day, where I start writing. The book, not done in the next 8 days, I can almost assure. So.. stay here…
Space Where Nothing Required
Sit quietly and let the day loosen its grip. Thoughts arrive, nod, and pass. No need to solve anything. Notice your body’s rhythm like a tide, steady, returning. In this small space, you are not chasing or proving. You are simply here, aware, enough, and gently unfolding into the moment. Let quiet carry you without…
Prompt —>
You don’t need to start over. You’re already in motion. Write about the road you’re currently on in your life, not the one you wish you were on. Where does it actually lead, if you’re honest? What have you been overlooking because it feels too ordinary to matter? What part of this path is quietly…
Your SELF…
Take care of it… pause, reflect… be kind to SELF— Ignore those voices The injectors, Antithetical to your aims, the peace you seek. Stress doesn’t deserve a set.
Letting the Story come to me. Forcing nothing. No reactions, no conversation, results, none of it.
Day is meal-planned, something I’ve tried before but was anything but consistent. Running at lunch, no fail…. Gear out, shoes ready. Five miles, more than enough time. Today, it’s like I’m deciding to throw out all the furniture and just write on the floor, legs crossed. Class in 1hr, 14min till class. Should go till…
The wine Story, working on that later. Post to blog, and other content… returning to what I started, when I started blogging.
The literary approach to wine, its voice and character, Stories, anything connected to voice and language, its poetics. 10:05, in office, a little frazzled and tired. Didn’t sleep well. Am I running today, no idea. Ugh… and, forgot my lunch at home. My own shop, this idea, here in the Sonic building…. Consumer Sales Training…
JOUNRAL PROMPT
A Quiet Page Before you write today, collect for a moment.Take time for YOU. Let the page simply be a page. Your journal is not here to judge, fix, or impress anyone. It is a place of quiet collection—a space where thoughts, feelings, questions, and small discoveries can rest safely for a while. Today, write…
