Back Home and Back In My Routine
The past several days I've been helping Gerra out in Austin after she gave birth to my new granddaughter, Kyra Irene and I just got back yesterday. I'm still working my way back into my normal routine. What I've found so heartening, though, was my capacity to emotionally and psychologically weather a six-day upheaval of my routine, including sleep and meditation patterns. Arriving back home was a very welcome event, but I never came close to having a serious emotional downswing. Even the physical part wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be, with all the driving around, lack of sleep, and the physical exertions that were out of my ordinary pattern. In fact, I enjoyed myself immensely, and never felt as though I was losing contact with Irene or losing my way as far as our goals and direction. I felt very confident that everything was fine and that things were going as they should. Gerra has nice back yard spot to spend quiet time and I used that...
