Feeling very comfortable
I’m really enjoying my time “at home.” Now that I’ve gotten over the jet lag, I’ve been incredibly productive. I’m eating at home more, staying in, and a routine is slowly taking shape. I just need to get on my bike again.
Pictures of Grace
I’ve put a few pictures of Grace on the walls around the apartment. I think of her every day. I so miss her, i feel terribly guilty that I am here and she is not.
(Still) Looking for an Urn
I’m still on the hunt for an urn for Grace’s ashes—something with a candle holder, so I can place it proudly on the coffee table. Every time I think about this, I feel the weight of how much I miss her. The sadness may not be as sharp as it was on June 23, 2024, but the sense of loss remains the same.
House makeover
I’ve decided to do a makeover of the living room and the main bedroom. The rooms are looking a little dated. It feels like a betrayal of Grace, though the only things I bought with her were the table and rug; the rest was already here.
Self-Growth requires Action
There’s a lot of people reading self-growth books, but unless you take action and apply what you’ve learned, it’s just time spent idly.
One senior guy I worked with used to quote Elon Musk’s ways of working. But despite quoting him, he seemed incapable of applying any of it himself. It was like he was just making observations rather than acting on them.
I had a friend who read book after book on self-growth, but did she ever show any real growth?
Focus on specific pieces of self growth and embed them into your daily routine, behaviours etc.
