Went climbing tonight and felt good about my outing and felt good about the last one. I've been mentally preparing myself for climbing and it has made a difference.
Took a salt bath and read more of Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight...
Earlier in the week, signed up for an event/conversation between Sharon Salzberg and George Mumford. At the time of the webinar, realized that I had to download an app so I aborted the mission but later on I got an email saying that the conversation would be available for viewing (today only) so I listened to it. Three things that stuck with me:
1). Nothing in life is a straight shot. Sharon Salzberg
2), A mistake is an event -- something that we can learn from; it's not an identification or badge. George Mumford
3). Everybody's life is so changeable. Sharon S.
The third one really sticks with me.
Of course I had to look up Exploding Head, and realized, "oh yeah, I've had that happen too!" Didn't realize it was A Thing.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you are climbing, it's been a long time hasn't it? I'm always amazed at how many things you do!
Also I read Don't Let's Go To The Dogs Tonight a few years ago and liked it. I'd heard her interviewed on several podcasts beforehand, though, so the book was a little anticlimactic since I'd had so many previews.
ReplyDeleteYes, it has been a while for climbing. Patti was unavailable then I was unavailable and we finally got on the same page. Of course, if I had really wanted to go, I could have latched on to other climbers or used the auto belay.
ReplyDeleteI am still grateful that I have many activities that I like. :)
What podcast was Fuller on?
