The humanity, too, of those around him, touched me. What we believe to be The Right Thing To Do had to give way to his choice of what to do. If I've learnt one thing, it's that this is a person who handles being told what to do as badly as I do when he does it to me. If I can do anything, it's to do him the honour of accepting his choice.
I had an enjoyable job to do today, and I did it. I enjoyed my train journey, at a luxurious table that nobody else seemed to want. I failed to pursue a fully Ayurvedic diet today, both content-wise and time-wise. I did better, though, than if I hadn't been attempting it. I didn't go to yoga today, but I did a little bit. I'd planned/hoped to go this evening, but the enjoyable job took precedence. Today has been pear day. I've eaten four of them, each of them different but all of them pretending to be hard and then turning out to be ready with their juice. I ate an orange, too. And half an apple, but it was a disappointment, so I stopped. Tomorrow, maté and more work. And a letter going out to a company. Yes. That.
I enjoyed receiving a lovely smile from a stranger at a bus stop. She was just standing there. We didn't connect much - just that little moment, but every single one is a gift. I had a tiny frustration weep earlier. There were elements of self-pity in it. I found it interesting. I'm looking forward to my next change to work on this stuff. There are chances all the time, and there's a big one coming up. Good. I have things floating about in my mind. I'm meditating every day, even if it's only for a short while. It might be helping. It was so nice to practise yoga with Lilley in York. I loved it, I did. Let's do more of that. Tomorrow, Lilley, in your honour, squats.
