This week I am going hard on visuals and soft on the written word. Next week I may give up and take off my splint so that I can type…stay tuned.
For now, check out my video for a broken finger update. I also ponder whether there are more opportunities to ask curious questions when discussing lifestyle choices:
- Are you happy?
- Are you achieving your goals?
- What’s it to me, anyways?
Would love your comments to this question:
Where can we do a better job asking curious questions, rather than laying judgment on others?
That is one big splint on the middle finger!
Sherisse dropped this off for me - her husband Leandro made it!
A fracture between the joints is "better" so I am lucky
They were worried about the spiral fracture on the underside
And a couple of videos of the boys wake surfing. Although I couldn’t participate in the surfing, I never give up a chance to be out on the boat. Thanks Dave and Jenna.
Well done Sheri – I love this topic and have been searching for understanding about the divisiveness that is growing in our world where the default mode seems to be finding fault in others. It seems to be the way for people to feel better about themselves at the expense of others. I don’t agree that the question is about happiness – that leads to another whole world of misery and disappointment. Rather, am I fulfilled? Does my life have meaning? Am I making a difference? The answer doesn’t require me to change the world but it does require that I observe my life to see how I treat others, how I choose kindness and compassion rather than impatience and judgment. If I am kind to one person today then the ripple effect can be endless. That turns my middle finger into a giant hug!
Susan, I love the idea of turning the middle finger into a hug! I also like the idea of focusing on fulfillment, rather than “happiness.” When I focused my attention on building a life that served ME (and therefore made life easier for everyone in my life), I felt less need to make others wrong for the decisions that they were making because I no longer had to justify why I had chosen differently. Through surrounding myself with those that choose kindness and compassion, I am learning to act in those ways myself- a worthwhile use of energy!
