VISUALIZATION

196.0 Today's weight. 

193.8  Yesterday's weight.

+2.2 pounds

I attribute this to:

1.  Eating so much orange chicken & rice last night

2.  Not having a bowel movement all day yesterday.

I visualize weighing less tomorrow.

READING, WRITING

Read 70 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He  that the tide of money is dammed by society, fearing it will corrupt and drown us.  And yet we break those dams through wars, etc., only to build them up again.  Harari then introduces the concept that there is something beyond gold and silver when we consider the global economic village:  steel.  And he ends the chapter, making me want to know how steel plays into the discussion.

Read 70 seconds in YOU ARE A WRITER by Jeff Goins.  He says I will need to gauge my frequency of - what should I call it? - my submissions to publishers based on my need for rest and sanity.  IOW, if I badger a magazine constantly with my writing, they might get into the habit of ignoring me.  But if I "let out some line" they might become curious and pay more attention.

That all seems like another world to me right now.  I'm not writing every day, and I haven't moved forward with much of anything that Goins says I should.  Well, I AM writing almost every day - HERE.  And so that part is beginning to happen for me.  But the rest of what he says I should do is not happening for me.  Maybe some day, it will.

Read 70 seconds in A PROMISED LAND by Barack Obama.  He says he got the reading bug when he was in 10th grade in Hawaii.

Waiting for D-Day, again.
