I had my parents and one of my brothers over for Christmas dinner. It was really nice to see them. My mom lives a little over 2 hours away so I don't see her as much as I'd like to. We had a good conversation about acts of kindness. My family started talking about some of the things they like to do. There were things like acknowledging cashiers by name, thanking people, opening doors and my brother was going to make up a couple plates with our leftovers for a couple homeless people that live by hiw place. I was also able to answer some questions they were asking because of the conversations we've had during our meetings. It was nice to have this talk with them because most of the time people tell me I've become to busy and need to relax more. I think that if that's what the people in my life are seeing then I have to make more of an effort to include them. It makes sense that before you change the world, you first have to change yourself.
Obviously by my lack of posting, I fell off of track with my requirements during the Christmas chaos. It's difficult being so transparent with what I'm doing or not doing because everyone clearly knows where I'm failing. It can get pretty embarrassing publicly failing all the time. I guess that's what keeps me on track.
No change health wise. I have good weeks and bad, still waiting for my March specialist appointment. One thing for sure is that I clearly cannot drink milk. Cheese and yogurt seem ok, but apparently milk is a definite no. Which seems really odd because I didn't seem to have any change or an immediate problem with it months ago when my doctor told me to try and eliminate dairy for awhile. I am a mystery.
See you at the kwoon.
