What did you do today that was productive?
Laundry. Golf.
What did you do today that you valued?
Golf. Spent time with friends I do not see often. I often find it hard to see friends who fall out of my regular contact list. It is not necessarily difficult to make time to see them but it is difficult to schedule time to see them. I have an issue with initiating a date with friends, especially friends who are married with children. I usually feel should contact me and tell me when they are available because their schedule is so much more difficult than mine. However, I recognize I will seldom see my friends with this strategy...
Did you learn anything today?
I learned my daily learnings are too negative. Today I learned the value of stepping beyond the boundaries of my own personal rules and regulations towards personal relationships. I set rules and regulations for myself that inhibit my relationships and friendships. Although it was hard for me to schedule a time to meet with a friend I seldom see I was very happy I did schedule the time. I did not regret spending the evening with my friends and I am totally happy we made the plans to see each other.
Any other thoughts?
I am terrible at golf. I cannot correct my ball from driving towards the right. After golfing for more than 14 years I still do not know if a slice is to the right or the left. My friend made chocolate truffles. She sent some home with me after I left her house. I intended to share them with my roommate but I ate all of them in the car on my way home... They were really good...
