I decided I am going to stop counting chapters. I don't need benchmarking anymore. I think I just made incredible progress.
I went away for a few days for some sunshine and R&R in central California. Respite takes in many forms. This is my fifth trip away in twelve months. A friend asked how I feel coming home. There is no place like home, no matter what. I follow my evening routine: Open door, turn off alarm, wash hands, light candles in the living room, turn on laptop, select music. It feels like a Taco Tuesday. It's all good.
You've got to leverage the good days to propel yourself to the next stage, or you'll risk being stuck wallowing in the same place. Wallowing is bad juju.
While watching the Winter Olympics games, I learned the story about Sarah Burke, a Canadian freestyle skier and a pioneer in superpipe, and her tireless work in lobbying the IOC to include women halfpipe into the 2014 Olympics games. She succeeded, but died in January 2012 after a severe training accident in Park City, Utah. At an interview, Rory Burke, Sarah's husband, said Sarah never asked why, but why not.
Words to live by. "Why not?" Why not stop counting chapters?
