- 2,272 days since I started this blog -
I'm back after 27 days of travel (Woodstock, Westchester County, New York City, Pittsboro, North Carolina, Wilbur-on-the-Sea, Safety Harbor, Florida). I had a great time.
Along the way, I began to gently question why I was having a great time.
And, I realized I was manufacturing it - more or less bringing the party with me in my mind.
It is a kind of mindfulness thing - where I am without expectations and just go with however things are, or seem - as long as I'm not feeling threatened, by which I mean worried about the future based on something going on in my present. And the bar for me feeling threatened is pretty high.
So, whatever happens is pretty much okay. Which okay-ness makes things pretty easy. That ease, in turn, makes for peace of mind and happiness.
And when you're happy regardless of the external circumstances, you can be happy with them - again, as long as you don't perceive a threat.
And, it makes me an easy house-guest.
It starts with an appreciation of what you have, what exists in your life - gratitude, if you will.

Diet Comment
I could not be more pleased to have gained less than eleven pounds in the four weeks since my last weigh-in, since I have not had a single on-plan day since I last wrote. Still, I now have more than fifteen pounds to lose. This should be fun.
