Another quiet morning.

Let’s keep it positive.

Emails first.

Acceptance is the first step.

In the picture, they are wearing socks - at the beach. I shake my head.

Not our last lunch, but our last work lunch. The peace that comes from knowing that this ending is not really an ending but a transformation.

Everything is coaching.

A few moments alone in the office. The glow of the afternoon light on my desk. Chopin squeezed into the left ear. More water.

Six. This is a good start.

Hot shower. Soreness. For dinner, an assortment of leftovers from Bistro Jeanty, Northblock, and Angele. A short pour of sauvignon blanc.
