groove, flow, momentum

Well, I feel like I'm making great progress. 
Health:
Viruses - seem to be nearly done
Fitness - two x 2hr walks, am routine, back ache resolved with stretches, pushing to walk, ride, surf several times a week, 
diet is good ( discovered rice paper as bread replacement).
Mental Health - praying several times a day gives me peace, clarity of thought, simplicity.
Positivity is never guaranteed, needs constant promotion.
Listening to podcasts, watching utube to avoid random rubbish, offers motivation. 
House:
Hot water - pump fitted, all good
Solar  - ordered 
Digger - ready to order
Other - verandah gate, tidying underway. 
Motor Vehicles: 
Subaru - new battery, oils bought for engine & trans.
Honda - batt rebooted, decide to strip it down later.
Himmy - batt charged, cleaned, tube ready for chx. 
Royal - drive stripped waiting for parts
Today's Report:
Waking I did lower back stretches to good effect. Later I did pushups, holding squat & wall sit. Surprised I did 50xp'ups.
Outside, the Himmy lay on it's side havongvfallem off the stand as the front tyre deflated. I worried, figured & tried bit could not get her up. This upset me. 
I packed for the beach via m/cy le shop; new tube, reorder rear sprocket for The Royal. 
I got a good park, noting half decent small surf but forced myself to exercise. In sandals & Camino outfit I walked on a low tide beach to The Leggie. On the return went up Hang glider Hill. A sunbaker of 17 kept up & only at the top did she show utter exhaustion. Laughters.
Down Hickson etc. onto swim to see Tamber, grey, withered with an air of sexual predator. 
The swim was waveless due to Xmas ebb, but refreshing.
Listening to podcast Cloudbase Mayhem. about paragliding & mountaineering but also men mostly going hard at life, pushing themselves hard, losing friends, buy persevering for the sport & "dirtbag lifestyle". Its the single mindedness, fitness, stoke & devil may care attitude that's inspiring. 
Correspond with Mia about barrier cream for rising damp. 
Joe helps with bike. Dinged tank! Blast. Its a wrinkle. 
Buddhist Peace Walk across USA broadens my spirit, but today I learned that one of the monks struck by a car will lose a leg. I'm tempted to think "sad", but he will survive what was obviously a heavy accident.

wise words for those with friends in need

"Help us to be present for those who are hurting, even when we feel helpless." "May I be like Simon of Cyrene, walking beside those in need, sharing their burdens, and bringing them strength ." Two passages from today's mass. Simon was dragooned into helping Jesus carry the cross upon which he was crucified. The sermon asks us to be that support for others and to identify the "Simons" in our life.  The initial passage is helpful too guide me in supporting my daughter who entered a difficult period in her life some weeks ago. As a caring parent I struggled to find a way.to remove her pain, the passage suggests that being present and supportive is sufficient. Amen.  This passage probably helps to reset my family's tendency to go all in to "help" others. We'll be actively stressing our big hypertensive hearts to cook, clean and clearup. Sure this gives the burdened person a rest, but also takes their agency away. It would be better to, ...

fair?

Putin invades Ukraine, kills thousands of civilians, evades justice.  Jenkins helps defend Ukraine and is gaoled.  Is this right?  Who made these rules? Who polices politicians?

its more than just floor sanding

   Right now I  having a coffee, its dawn, my chest & nasal passages are dust effected, I feel ecstatic. Not cartwheels in the mode ecstatic, just really chuffed & happy with myself.    Happy to have begun the job & stoked to see the finished product.it is a job thats been put off. There have been many real & imagined obstacles; years ago it was an unsupportive griping partner who would have spoiled the work, having a bustling household wherebye quarantining the main floorspace would have been impractical & a poor result guaranteed. But nowadays I only need concern myself with my young adult son, two sensible cats (they will avoid the floor) & a highly strung dog who will walk over a wet floor to make sure his bed is still there.  So, anyway with the risks managed by time, I'm chosen to begin & in this case, that is definitely that most difficult step. Clearing the floor space & preparing the house for a solid dusting & h...
