Everything about Intentionality

Week 27: Rhythm

Two bare feet stand on the sand, touching the water
An early morning meeting on the other side of the country had me spend an evening on the beach, where I finally, finally got to dip my toes in the water

Three wins

  1. Walked on the beach barefoot
  2. Leg-pressed 111.1kg at physio
  3. Survived 35-degree weather with little complaint

Week 48: Two feet

For this week’s weeknotes I’m trying something new with sections, inspired by Tracy Durnell. Overall, week 48 was great: I had a few important wins in the health department, and overall I leave it feeling confident, optimistic, and loved.

Three wins

  1. After 34 days, I retired my cast and got an aircast!
  2. I’m finally able to learn to walk on two feet again
  3. I’ve been enjoying my Miracle Morning routine

Stuff I did

  • 8 hours on both Thursday and Friday confirmed what I had hoped: I finally feel energetic and proactive enough to get back to work.
  • Organized my workload to get reacquainted: what was I doing? Why do I care about this company? Why do I care about my coworkers? A nice Get Well Soon card helped tremendously.
  • Began planning for a little getaway to Paris with Anja and Lemonade.
  • Finished writing my letter to Mathilde, which had been a long time coming.
  • Ordered a muzzle and foldable travel crate for Lemonade.
  • Ordered the New Zealand Prayer Book.

Consumed

  • Doing my best to get in four Bible chapters a day.
  • Started reading a chapter a day of Live with Intentionality as part of my morning routine. Feel weird about the fact that it’s self-published by someone unknown to the Internet. It’s a helpful, concise read, though.
  • Trying to exchange reading the news for reading IndieWeb RSS feeds in the morning.

Learned

  • Soporific (adjective): sleep-inducing (from nytimes.com)
  • That, if sleep-deprived enough, I’ll find myself becoming a boxing specialist overnight as I watch the hours and hours leading up to the soporific match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson.
  • Many people mistake narwhals for unicorns, despite their vastly varying physiques.

Appreciated

  • The rendition of “Bread and Roses” in the movie Pride.
  • The rendition of “The Age of Worry” by Madison Cunningham.
  • Anja for taking stellar care of me all the while stating clearly what she needs for herself.
