I thought of many topics to write about today. Most of the time I was in the middle of an activity of some kind and was not able to jot the ideas down, so I lost a lot of them. But they will come back. I cleaned today, and I also went on a relatively relaxing bike ride. Not exactly note taking-friendly activities.
When I say "relatively relaxing bike ride" I make that distinction because I had to navigate Oakland streets to get to the relaxing area... Usually I go straight through the craziness of the main streets but today I took my time. I wound around through the nicer streets until I felt prepared to go through the main streets to get to my destination.
I suppose that's the way I'm trying to train myself to live my life. There are inevitably stressful parts, like work. But I don't have to go headlong into these stressful places. I can take the time to prepare myself by going through the avenues that are more relaxing first. There is no rush.
I will have all of those things in life that are worth working for. Career, family... all of those things will come, because I'm aware of them and I want them. I've already established that I can work hard. There's no need to keep stressing myself out over work.
I'm so glad I spent these years bartending. It's really helped me learn how to talk to people. I spoke to several people today. All of them were doing activities to relax as well.
