Appreciate achievements (rather than muse on missed chances)

in an evening of sustained intimacy. Could have withdrawn when felt insecure. Could have made excuses to stop. Instead, kept listening to myself and encouraged myself to go for what I really wanted to share.

Now I’m sitting down to do real work and intend to stay focused on this goal for the next 3 hours.

idea of all the piles to be sorted. That’s a start.

...with my new special friend over lattes and almond croissants this morning. We only had a few minutes, so we got it to go and spent a luxurious 10 minutes sitting and sipping and savoring our time together .. then zipped off to our respective work environs.

a folder on one of my school subjects so that I can pass it over to a colleague.

that an interview hasn’t gone too well.
Yet, I was also informed that here are no doubts as to my general ability for the job I applied for. I just might need some consulting before.
Which I will gladly take.

a promotion – long-awaited – and said with all modesty possible- long-deserved.

half of the house-painting is done.(My wife did the most.)

several events this weekend – met a lot of interesting new people and a lot of acquaintances, went to a great school concert with my daughter as one of the members of a very remarkable orchestra, my son joining us and him sorting out the challenges at his new school, and my wife happy about our deep-rooted understanding.

a lovely saturday night out – very enjoyable.
