Awarness and action augment aliveness

I usually find value in exercising a measure of control over the various aspects of life, while aware that it’s a matter of degree. Being comfortable with human limitations is an art. Right now, I’m aware of exercising the skill of making wise choices between varied, valuable options. I often find that challenging, a kind of paradox of freedom.

Right now, I’m fixin’ to go for a bike ride, in this case with my wife Andrea. We’ve been eager to check out the newest extension of the Lake Fayetteville hard-surfaced trail, the part that extends the trail to the Botanical Garden, and, I think, beyond. The weather is right and we’re making the time to explore and exert.

This is also our day to do our duet with the essential$, our weekly bookkeeping routine. Additionally, we’re in the process of setting up a new business on etsy.com. More on that later. Later this afternoon, I meet with a group of fellows who meet for a potluck dinner and discussion a couple of times a month. I’m especially excited about tonight because we’re meeting at Terra Studios, Jamie Ulick’s bailiwick. It’ll be my first visit to that unique place: http://www.terrastudios.com/

May we all proceed with awareness and kindness.
