Class is done for the day. It has been a productive day for me full of new learnings. It is always hard for me to put into words what I have learned though. Sometime soon I will have an experience and will realize I have reacted differently and I will know it is because of the class I attended.

One of the side benefits of attending his classes is reconnecting with friends in the class. It is always nice to see them. I’m sad that this is one of the last classes he will be teaching in Kansas. I’m going to have to remember to find reasons to see the other students occasionally.

I had thought about mowing Nicole’s yard for her this evening but we had a thunderstorm roll through around noon time and it looks too wet outside to mow. It is starting to sprinkle again although radar is showing the rain won’t last long.

It has been nice staying in Nicole’s house this time. Usually I stay in a hotel when I come for class. So much more comfortable in a house. Just wish Nicole was around so I could see her this trip. I’m going home tomorrow and she won’t be home until Monday.

I attempted to watch TV but couldn’t find anything worth watching. I do appreciate the music channel though.

I may go out to dinner with a friend tonight. I had lunch at Chipolte’s so I’m not hungry yet. I might stay in and appreciate the empty space and quiet. It feels like it has been a while since I had empty space to enjoy.

My high school holds an alumni banquet every year. Kathy and Keith were going to go together tonight. I can not believe it has been 46 years since I graduated high school. How can that be? I rarely go to the banquet. Just not my thing.

This class has affirmed the value of my 70 things to do before I turn 70 list. The list helps me clarify my values and vision for myself. I sit with the energy of one of the things on my list everyday and imagine it already happening. I have already crossed several things off the list.

Rainy day. New learnings. All is well!
