It's the start of a new month ... on a Friday?

It feels like a new month should always start on Monday. Oh well, the Gregorian calendar is one thing I don't control.

On my morning walk, I focused on the BIG things I want to do in August.

As I heard someone say recently, GET AFTER IT!

I'm pretty sure I'll be thinking about "Eulogy," one of the new episodes of Black Mirror. One of the very best things they've ever done. Heartfelt, beautiful, thoughtful. Paul Giamatti is just brilliant. Go watch. And hug the people you love.

With an atmospheric river of rain arriving tomorrow, all these recent earthquakes better read the room.

Happy #Severance Just Dropped, for all who celebrate.

Severance is the best show on TV right now.

It’s important to be flexible when making plans on Thursday evening. Especially when Apple TV sends you a notification that they just changed your plans for you. #severance

"Everyone is screwed up, broken, clingy, and scared, even the people who seem to have it more or less together. They are much more like you than you would believe. So try not to compare your insides to their outsides." ~ Anne Lamott

Where do you compare yourself to others?

Maybe let go of that.

What if you were the most positive person in your life today? What would that look like?

Of all the people you interact with today, in all the relationship moments you have, what if YOU were the one person of whom people said, I really like being around that person.

Happy Saturday.

I started the day doing something that felt good.

I became a member of #WatchDuty, the app everyone is using to track the Los Angeles wildfires.

Only $25 a year to support the great work this volunteer team is doing.

Also, now at this paid level, I get the helicopter overlay. So worth it.

Unlike you, I got my news from a reliable source

"Honey, I'd like you to meet my friend, Del Griffith."

This line. Gets me every single time.

"Planes, Trains and Automobiles" is like "Field of Dreams" for Thanksgiving. I can't watch it without waterworks.

Steve Martin and John Candy are just perfect in this.

I am aware there are places that are cold and rainy today. Southern California is not one of them. Sorry.

I'm currently reading "Designing Your Life" by Bill Burnett & Dave Evans. Great book to go through as I think about 2025.

The book was "recommended" by ChatGPT when I asked for a list of books on a certain topic. Thanks, AI!
