T started taking swimming lessons on Sunday and we were so surprised that she kept it up as H wasn't going (it's like the Hunger Games to get your kid into swimming classes; you have to get up at 5:30 am and sit at your laptop ready for when the five available classes open). They are all full by 6:03 am). Anyways, noticed she was a lot happier, calmer and at ease when she came home. Sunday evenings became relaxing dinner get togethers instead of tense standoffs they usually devolved into. I actually credited swimming today and now it makes sense. Y managed t sign her up again and she was keen. Will be going all of us with M&D once a week.
My Audible library is almost entirely incredibly frustrating books by organised people that I hope will teach me their secrets, through osmosis. I go to sleep listening to someone describe how all I have to do to be like them, is be like them. None of them ever start as me, and become them. But I live in hope. So I "buy with one credit" and drift off, exhausted into restless, anxious sleep as someone describes task management techniques that will never be implemented by me.
Here to say: please link your blog every now and then in the newsletter until I figure out how to rebuild a RSS reader habit. I want to know more about M.
I like your GEUTI. Mine is similar: Whenever I do a thing like cleaning, tidying, making an effort towards something, I say to myself, "It's better than it was." It's a mantra and an achievable standard.

Beautiful, Thom. And I very much relate.

Big love.

"Better than we found it" was the approach I had with a product designer I used to work with. If we could say yes - success!
