Events

Busy week, as usual. Friday is a good day for making lists.

Monday

• Over lunch, Ryan tells me a story from the Landmark forum.

"When a tired child sees a chair at the other side of the room, s/he will go over to sit down. When a tired adult sees a chair at the other side of the room, s/he will find a million reasons why s/he can't/shouldn't really go to the chair.... and will stay in the same spot."

• Cub car races!
  
• Went for a run during Cubs, and ran into Andy at the Starbucks... talked about Laura

Tuesday

• Dim Sum lunch with the eLearning team


• Skiing on Cypress with Julie. Julie tells me about an executive she's coaching who is stuck - keeps presenting obstacles as to why he cannot go for his goal. She's able to make him see what he's doing. Julie's face shines as she tells me what a pleasure and honour it is to be able to help someone. I think of the Alchemist, Personal Myths
  

  "My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer," the boy confides to the alchemist one night as they look up at a moonless night. "Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself," the alchemist replies. "And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity."

Wednesday

• Choir rehearsal! (and the odd beer afterwards :-) ) Here's a picture from the concert on Jan 28th.
  
  
  

Thursday

• Brought several cars to screeching halt while walking over to SUB to get my sandwich, completely immersed in my book. Try balancing a Reuben sandwich, a coffee, and an open book!
  
• my brothers have set up a website for the family. Most of the initial discussion is on what to talk about :-)
  
• Haircut: finally. Trying out the all-over-red.
  
  
• Music: listening to Coldplay (still), Tea Party (got it from the library, not my favourite), Gwen Stefani (for Jeanne), Beautiful South, McGarrigle sisters, Moby, Metric -- Anyone with suggestions? I need some new music
