feelin' like it's decaf

serafaeryah, mood bounced back a bit. Sparkling was lovely, sometimes it's the most wonderful mood booster. This consistently happens when I sparkle people older than 70, Jean will be 80 next year and is amazingly fit, chipper, kind, wise, and all the magical things that only folks that age can offer.
Super tired though, had to pivot to solve problems unrelated to taxes so haven't been able to get to them today yet, and in three hours I need to start getting ready for the club, whoops :)
Guess I'll try again tomorrow! I'll chip away at them as much as I can for a bit while I'm here and settled in for work at the cafe, with a delicious decaf - I have long villainized decaf, but now that I am old it's exactly what I need, haha, how life consistently humbles me :)
Vague headache. A little bit tired and stressed.
Sunrise was beautiful this morning. It rises a little too early for me these days, Avalanche wakes with it and gently mews to let me know when the vivid pinks start showing up.
I have found an immense amount of joy in three recent Huberman Lab videos - the one on hearing loss (the tinnitus info was so enlightening and helpful!), the one on addiction, and I just started one about meditation that is WONderful. I want to get this guy's book maybe (a href="https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Born-to-Flourish/Richard-J-Davidson/9781668066232">Born to Flourish. (I very much loved his anecdote of the mountaintop monk who explained that he was a monk meditating in remote mountains because he needed to, he thought maybe some people don't need to, but his mind was in some ways weaker, so he needed to do this extreme practice - I love this concept of realizing that one's composition is such that we need meditation or other spiritual/nourishing practices in order to flourish, and that maybe not everyone has the same needs in this regard, we are all different and have different needs and that's okay, and maybe we can give ourselves permission to pursue those practices if we are not flourishing without them.)
