Day 30/30 – 182/366
5 Min Flow – Thoughts:
Sleep resets my body and allows me to access the power of my being. I must make it a priority each day and I will. Today is an important day. The time now is 09:41 and I will be heading out for a walk up morning walk before heading out to the Purple Palace to get a long run on. I am feeling good and all will be well. We hopefully will head up to Jerk Hut afterwards to have a good meal to replenish the body. Had a good morning walk, an awesome 15k run and then a great meal at Jerk Hut, followed by another walk again. Today was a good day.

Day 29/30 – 181/366
5 Min Flow – Thoughts:
Sleep gives me the ability to strengthen my connection with the world. I think about grass these days. I realize that this a result of my luck in life. Most people consider their lot being lest than optimal. I am happy with less because I have more. Is it not ironic that those who have less want more than those who have satisfied their need for more just so see the need for it. I count myself fortunate in this regard, because I know of those who have much and still want more – not being satisfied with their lot they count themself unfortunate because they don’t understand that the fulfillment is within. I can hear nature speaking to us through the thunder right now and it is a pleasant sound to my ear. There is no interpretation of the sounds but a lulling into conversation with nature.

Sleep came to me last night as I was open and available. I will continue to make myself available for it and we will be friends. It is now 10:27 and we are going to head over to the base to try and get on the base housing list. The next move is to visit the rock spot and get some ideas for stone. We will be meeting up with some drain guys here later, hopefully we get back in time. I need to scope out some more PF for tomorrow’s 15k.

Sleep is not me. Sleeping is something I do and then it is done – all gone. Tonight I will take a stab at it again. That’s it. No grasping. Just letting go. I feel rested, but I can always sleep and I will sleep when I feel like sleeping. No judgement. Today, I am feeling pretty good about getting the gutter protectors put on. With all the trees, I had to do something about the drainage. Now it is done. I hope it will last some time.

– Tolstoy’s Calendar of Wisdom: A good life is given only to those who make efforts to achieve this. In order to have a good life, you should not be afraid of any good deeds. You should have no less power or strength for small acts than for the biggest and greatest good deed. In order not to pour out a vessel full of water, you should hold it evenly.

5 Min Flow – Thoughts:
Sleeping is a necessary part of life. I must make the necessary changes to ensure that I get it. There should be no ruminations. I just need to put the required steps in place so that I can be successful at this. If I don’t then I am writing a narrative that may have consequences that I do not want. Be cognizant, be forward leaning but do not obsess. In obsession is attachment. I don’t need that. Today was a pretty good day. I had David Moya of Go Get Gutter complete my gutter covers. I am pleased with how things turned out and I hope we can be in touch and do business long into the coming years.

I just need to keep pushing for more time beneath the waves. I got up with lots of promise for the day. I did get the car oil done. I got the lawn sprayed, but to no avail, as the rain came down and washed it away. Oh how beautiful is nature. She blessed me and I am thankful for it. As I was thinking and writing those lines, I was wondering how unusual it is to do so. It is the opposite of what I would think in times past. I would be so pissed off that I put all this time into doing this particular thing and here I am having it all washed away. No worries though, there is nothing about any of this that is of much consequence. Just observe and move on. No attachment to any one moment, just experience.

Pretty ok night of rest. I got up and got my walk in. It is now 11:11 and I will be heading into a pretty sublime place in a few minutes during my 40k. I am really looking forward to it, although I don’t want to anticipate too much what it will be like. Oh yeah, I completed my first 40k in fine style. It was somewhat challenging, but not altogether so. I really had a blast and look forward to more long rides. It showed over 1000kcal, but I don’t know, it felt pretty easy…but I don’t want to say that too loud.

The time now is22:49, I need to get a shower, do my Spanish practice and get to bed so that I can get a steady night of sleep as I have a 40k ride tomorrow.

Having a pretty good day sort of. Like the sleep last night. Had Mr. T come by to do some work around and he found mold in my bathroom. We are gonna arrange for a couple estimates next week. My hope is that if there is mold that is limited to a very small area. We are staying down in Brandon through tomorrow morning and then head back up to Jax. We will have to be back down here by next Monday..

5 Min Flow – Thoughts:
Got some sleep in last night – no judgement. This is weird, starting to view the world in terms of a constant flow of energy and not getting attached to anything of it has a distancing effect between what is emerging as you and the myriad ways we engage with the others. Chief among this weirdness are the people who are the phenomena that you most often have to engagement with. In some ways, however, the substance of what comes out of these interacts has some value in the conscious existence of the individual.

– Rupert: Love fate.
– Tolstoy’s Calendar of Wisdom: There was a time when people ate human flesh and found nothing wrong in it, even now there are such wild people. People stopped eating human meat, little by little, now they cease to eat the meat of animals little by little, though it has taken time. But the time will come when people will have the same disgust for the meat of animals as they now have for human flesh. — After Alphonse Lamartine

Late Entry: One of the things I realize is that I have to do this early or it will easily fall off my radar. If something comes up, I will just totally forget about this. I am trying to be better at being intentional about this inner work, but I find that it is almost that I have to come back to it again and again. I am find doing and going for as long as it takes to get there. I do see the value, so it will be done. The sleep was not the best, but it was neither terrible – it just was my sleep and so I need to stop making value judgement. I need more rest – just work at that. The commentary won’t make it better I just have to be more intentional about the steps I need to take to make it better. I had a pretty hard workout today. It was lower body and working out under sort of rushed conditions and later in the day is not good for that. As I am writing these words at 15:34 on Thursday, I am still sore from yesterday’s workout, so I am going to have to take it relatively easy. I had a long hard run on the 18th as well and so I think this is just compounded. At any rate, we are still here in Brandon and taking it relatively easy.

Streak broken. I have to get back to the sleep thing, but it require proper early planning and I am not doing that. I will have to limit some things in order to get others and it start with a care approach. Today we left Jax for Brandon. We got here in order to get our HVAC looked at – the gent was a no show beyond the time given and so we cancel and will have him come tomorrow. I started reading “The Daily Pressfield” yesterday. I must admit, it is a bit different from the others. I think I will have to just wait and see how it grows on me. I will try some here over the coming days.

5 Min Flow – Thoughts:
Good night of sleep. I just hope to carry this on in the coming days. I feel pretty refreshed and my mind is much clearer. I was not able to
Dream; Someone else and I, it could be a female went into this small, humble looking building that was on a slight grade. The building could have been made of wood, I don’t remember. Across the road (the area looked somewhat remote – rural-wise, but not heavily treed) was what appeared to be a spreading a pasture. At any rate we went into the building. Inside was very modern, one of us, I don’t remember who, started to shoot down what appears to be a chute of some sort that was lit. I think we were trying to disengaged something. After a while, some guys came in from outside and we started to run – escape from them. We got into a car and drove a nice distance to a town. We went into a building where we met a guy who told us he could take us some place so the men who came to get us at the previous building wouldn’t be able to find us. There was something a bit suspicious of this guy, but we felt we had to trust him. As he was taking us down this pretty well populated road, we were passing by lots of people. One memory that stick in my mind was the fact of this young lady. I remember her piercing eyes and her cheek. Here cheek had a couple scratches on it and I think what looked like dried blood. She was being pulled by a man. The rest of the dream went on, but this partial recount was the most vivid.

Sleep still a struggle. I am not making enough effort or what. I am seeing where this might be tantamount to losing weight. I tell myself to just do it, but that is not working out. I must make a different. I must take a different approach. I must also go beyond these statements and take actionable steps to make it happen. I will do that – one bit at a time. Today I had my walk in relatively early, but the sun was a bear. I will just have to push past that like anything else.

APHORISMS (Repeat Daily)
– If you get up pissed off today – STOP! You could die right now – Get over it!
– Today I will strive continuously to gain and maintain my tranquility.
– Keep a POSITIVE mental attitude at all times. At least try to.
– Remember to convey what I believe to be true with kindness; we all have our rose-colored glasses.
– Remember the people around you present a mask that suits their purpose.
– Stop projecting emotions on others; see them as a phenomena unto themselves, as neutral as comets and plants.
– Examine the faults I see in others and realize they are in me as well.
– Don’t Get Upset; Do the right thing.
– Teamwork cannot exist where distrust abounds.
– Be the best conversation partner you can; when frustration arises – show compassion.
– Listen more and DON’T LET THE EGO DRIVE THE BUS!
– I am thankful for the many gifts of this universe, chiefly – my kids, my wife and my life. I am a very lucky man.
– Humility must always be my guide; I will never forget that I am because many others made it possible; I am the promise of those who have favored me.
– I endeavor not to be bitter today to understand that each being derives something from its actions, else it would not take them; and that loving someone, while detesting their selfish actions, is hard, it is the absolute key to lowering my suffering.

The struggle continues in the sleeping domain. I won’t say much on that at this time. It is now 1652 and I am feeling pretty hungry. My body is screaming out for food but I cannot have it. So far today, I have had a cup of coffee with creamer and splenda, a cup of tea with lemon juice and splenda and around 4 mints. The female unit will be bringing me jello later, but that is gonna be it until after my colonoscopy procedure tomorrow. I also will be getting my dailies done here in a bit and then I will probably do another walk since I don’t want to go into my muscle reserves for energy.

Sleep struggles continues. I am not too mad about the numbers over the last few days, I am still trying to reorient. That cannot be an excuse though, I need to get my act together. Of all the things that I am doing I need to understand better the rhythms of my body and really get my sleep in order. How about starting with tonight. Nope that was not to be. I had a late workout and ended up in bed around 0100. I am struggling with this for sure. Well, let’s get at it tomorrow.

Today has been a pretty weird day. Sleep was not on point again, but that is just the way things are right now. I must keep working on that. Today started off just as the other days, but then we had the carpets cleaned by Stanley and then the rains came. We spoke to the Mike for a long time regarding his trip to JA for Debbie’s birthday, Genesis and Will. We are looking at going up tomorrow to prep for my colonoscopy on Friday and then head back down next week. We also might just get someone to rent out the property for us and then go on a vacation.

Not a good night of sleeping at all. In fact, I am writing this pretty late at 00:19 on the 11th, so I am gonna have to make quick work of this to get to bed and get back up tomorrow for a better start. It is supposed to rain tomorrow all day, but I am not so sure. We also have maintenance on the AC planned, as well as carpet cleaning. We also have other things to get done, but I suspect that we will just have to leave that until we get back down here next week. I got a good wash on the walk way and lanai today, so that is out of the way. Still have some concerns about the side of the house, but we will have to take that in turn.

Generally good day so far. I am writing this at 18:11 and the days are going by in a weird-ish way. I am ok with them though. I get to spend some time with my female unit and chill a bit. There is not a lot of heavy lift to get done, but there is enough. I think we are taking it a bit for granted but I think we will pick it up in the coming days. So far we have done a bit of here and there work, but not too much.

Not a good night of sleep or rather I did not fall deeply in as I wanted to or should have. At any rate, it is what it is. I have lots on my mind but that is no excuse I need to manage that and get to a good place. Went out on my morning walk. Spoke to Ms Rose’s daughter this morning as she was on her way to the gym. Her son is getting big too and her husband is healing after surgery. Ms Rose remains in the Philippines until September – I send her good vibes – hope to see her again. Just got a call from my father. I left a message that I will call him back later. I need to get the things that I need done under control and then get to that. My mind has to be right.

Good night of sleep. The time now is 23:49 and I am struggling to get to bed. I have to go no and come back. I will be going in tonight at 00:30. I am taking a 1 hour dispensation. But I will definitely not get up before 07:00. I am well beyond my 1 hour dispensation, so I am gonna make the most of it. Today we had a really good workout. We got back home – got something to eat and then that was it . We showed the house to a family today with two young boys. They were bouncing off the walls, so I am a bit hesitant to give the thumbs up. I feel pretty good about our prospects given the amount of churn out there right now. We are also in a pretty good spot to hit the expressway to the base, so I think we will get something pretty fast.

Not a great night of sleep due to the number of stuff running around in my head. We just got here last evening and I am not sure what all is there to be done. On the surface things look ok, but the devil is usually in the details. I am concerned about the detail. The big one is the side of the house where I need to put in a FrenchDrain. The cost I got from one company was $8k. I have absolutely no intention of spending that much on a drain, but this morning I got up with some ideas. At any rate, we will be here for a minute, so I will just see.

Ok sleep. I was in bed per my promise to myself. I see also that I am struggling. I have to stick to it and not be stupid. I have to make the switch now and take the consequences of that action. There is no better time than now. It is now 07:53 and I am going to head out on my walk. I have to gather up our things to head south to take care of Brandon. It is going to be a scorcher, hopefully we are ok in all of this. Putting the property on the market at the start of the summer seems to be a good move. We just have to get it going.

APHORISMS (Repeat Daily)
– If you get up pissed off today – STOP! You could die right now – Get over it!
– Today I will strive continuously to gain and maintain my tranquility.
– Keep a POSITIVE mental attitude at all times. At least try to.
– Remember to convey what I believe to be true with kindness; we all have our rose-colored glasses.
– Remember the people around you present a mask that suits their purpose.
– Stop projecting emotions on others; see them as a phenomena unto themselves, as neutral as comets and plants.
– Examine the faults I see in others and realize they are in me as well.
– Don’t Get Upset; Do the right thing.
– Teamwork cannot exist where distrust abounds.
– Be the best conversation partner you can; when frustration arises – show compassion.
– Listen more and DON’T LET THE EGO DRIVE THE BUS!
– I am thankful for the many gifts of this universe, chiefly – my kids, my wife and my life. I am a very lucky man.
– Humility must always be my guide; I will never forget that I am because many others made it possible; I am the promise of those who have favored me.
– I endeavor not to be bitter today to understand that each being derives something from its actions, else it would not take them; and that loving someone, while detesting their selfish actions, is hard, it is the absolute key to lowering my suffering.

– Rupert: Keep your thought on the good; the bad will always come. There, however, is no good or bad, its our interpretation. The irony of it all.
– Tolstoy’s Calendar of Wisdom: In reality, the outer world in itself is not as we see it, and thus everything material in this world is insignificant. What is important then? That thing which exists everywhere, at all times, and for all people: the divine spark, the spiritual root of our lives. – Tolstoy

Day 4/30 – 156/366
5 Min Flow – Thoughts:
Good night of rest. I have implement getting to bed no later than 11:30 – 11:45 and I intend to make that the center-point for the time being. I have to get my rest or else everything that I am working on will fall apart and I can’t afford for that to happen. I also want to continue getting up early for my morning walk. They have become an important part of my day and so I want to continue to nurture that as well. We will be heading down to Brandon tomorrow to clean up and spend sometime doing a few things. I hope there isn’t much to do and I look forward to getting that property back out and be able to get on the road this summer.

Day 3/30 – 155/366
5 Min Flow – Thoughts:
The sleep lamentations continues. I won’t say much here, but I am adding the sleep requirement to my list starting tonight. Got to get a few things in today. I need to get my workout in with the female unit. 2. Arrange French Drain estimate. 3. Arrange Leaf Guard Install estimate. 4. Continue work on financial rearrangement. I was able to make arrangement with 2 entities and 2 others fell through. It appears one might be pretty professional, so we will take a look and see how that goes. If all else fails I will just have to do it myself.

Fell off the train on the second day but I can’t look at it that way. I just need to be back on tonight. Tomorrow I will be going in to see my internist and hopefully will get my colonoscopy setup and a response to my groin strain. I have not been feeling it as much anymore, I will see how that goes today when I am doing my workout. I have a bit of pain in my left knee for sometime, but it appear to have gone away. I am not sure what I was doing that caused it, but the only thing that I can put at it is that I have not run that much in recent weeks. I removed it from my list of pressing items today.

A really good night of sleep indeed. I had a lot of support plus pent up sleep pressure. I need to carry this at least for a few days. I need to get my things done and get to bed with whatever support I need to realize this. I also want to make note of the fact that I totally crushed my workouts last month. I hit all the spots and had a great transition about the 3rd week into to cycling. I am feeling good. I am having one glitch though. My right shoulder is at it again. I will be watching it, as I feel a stabilization issue going on with it.

APHORISMS (Repeat Daily)
– If you get up pissed off today – STOP! You could die right now – Get over it!
– Today I will strive continuously to gain and maintain my tranquility.
– Keep a POSITIVE mental attitude at all times. At least try to.
– Remember to convey what I believe to be true with kindness; we all have our rose-colored glasses.
– Remember the people around you present a mask that suits their purpose.
– Stop projecting emotions on others; see them as a phenomena unto themselves, as neutral as comets and plants.
– Examine the faults I see in others and realize they are in me as well.
– Don’t Get Upset; Do the right thing.
– Teamwork cannot exist where distrust abounds.
– Be the best conversation partner you can; when frustration arises – show compassion.
– Listen more and DON’T LET THE EGO DRIVE THE BUS!
– I am thankful for the many gifts of this universe, chiefly – my kids, my wife and my life. I am a very lucky man.
– Humility must always be my guide; I will never forget that I am because many others made it possible; I am the promise of those who have favored me.
– I endeavor not to be bitter today to understand that each being derives something from its actions, else it would not take them; and that loving someone, while detesting their selfish actions, is hard, it is the absolute key to lowering my suffering.
