Today

Today's goals:

1. Remain awake and aware of my grumpy, judgmental mood: notice, allow and still refrain from acting out.

2. Finish the evaluation section.

3. Move a little closer to meeting harmonious household goals.

4. Accept progress; let the urge for perfection pass by.

Good enough.

I feel better already: one of my students saw this and texted "Great big hugs and I am sending CALMING energy your way".

When I responded, "Thank you, darling. I appreciate it so much," he replied, "No problem: I need you happy and calm."

That's one very smart man, who clearly understands the concept of enlightened self-interest.

Now I'm amused.

Top five deathbed regrets

...according to the (hospice?) nurse whose thoughts contributed to this article:

http://thenextweb.com/lifehacks/2011/05/31/the-top-5-regrets-people-make-on-their-deathbeds/

1. "I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me."

2. "I wish I didn’t work so hard."

3. "I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings."

4. "I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends."

5. "I wish that I had let myself be happier."

I'm working on 2 and 5.
