I’m back on the road for work, traveling around and enjoying being part of community in diverse and varying settings. My kids are active and happy, and Brigid and I try to pace ourselves through to the end of the school year in early June. God is good.
I have recently begun walking our puppy Bingo in the mornings. This delightful return to a precious routine of mine (with our last dog) grounds me. As a 7 month old dog, Bingo still experiences the normal in exciting and profound ways. I find myself noticing the sounds of birds, pedestrians, and cars in refreshing ways. My discipline of walking to start my day is one of my most centering activities….and it is nice to have company again as I walk through my neighborhood each day.
I am happy to share this entertaining clip of a Matt Damon interview on a recent Stephen Colbert episode. Stephen’s final question if Matt asks: “Describe the rest of your life in five words.” Matt responded, “Family. Friends. Work. Service. Joy.” That about sums it up to me!
Blessings on your week ahead!
