More moving

Seems fitting that my last post was titled, "On moving deliberately". As I am now moving, deliberately (and literally). The time has come to put more permanent home-like roots in Boulder. I've been in my house for a year and a half, and while I've never fully felt at home here, I've made a home for myself in Boulder with an ever widening community and circle of friends. What a blessing that I now also have a place where I can feel at home at home.

On moving deliberately

On the bus ride home today, I began thinking about a comment a friend made the other day. She said, "I choose to focus on the love in relationships rather than the sticky stuff". This perspective feels like a substantial paradigm shift for me. With that, I want to make a practice of writing down what felt successful after each day I'm at the hospital. So much of my energy is often spent examining what did not feel successful in order to learn from it. Seems as though much learning can also be gleaned from successes. Plus, it helps bring lightness to my day. :-)

I seem to be leaving the hospital lately with this sense of satisfaction and devotion to
this work. Ahh...how relieving this feels.

I've been reading "Stranger in a Strange Land". There has been much talk lately about moving quickly without rushing. I've been practicing this idea all day. It's amazing how much more smoothly my day seems to go when I'm deliberate about my time and move - sometimes quickly - without rushing.
