It was nice to have Dad here, but it's also nice to get back into a routine. It is interesting how much I like a routine. This week I didn't run, swim, or work regular hours, and Dad was here so I had to consider what we were going to do for lunch and dinner and to entertain him. That's a pretty big break in routine. Hopefully, with him traveling back to Portland and the ECEA project at Elation mostly wrapping up, we can get back to the way things generally are.
Though it also occurs to me that this is an opportunity to reflect on how one's mental attitude affects behavior and how behavior affects your physical state. Everything appears to be connected, and the one thing that seems always to be true is that our mental agility can be influenced by our will to respond in different ways. Once you recognize that, all that's left is to train yourself to use will to influence your response so your mental state remains calm regardless of how things get upset.
