Missing my buddy today. - Never enough time - - Did you know science tells us that missing one day of life with them is like leaving them for 7 days of there life. Make everyday count 🦮💔Note about this photo - Flynn used to sit on a special chair In the front living room when we left the house, he would normally just sleep, on this day we opened the curtain and came home to see him sitting there waiting, just letting us know he’s here and we were gone too long… 😭😇🥰 - He was the best dog.

“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”

― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore. I’m still - still fighting, still here.

I didn’t believe in myself long enough to see the results. I didn’t trust the process of consistency and effort. I didn’t think I was really worthy. That all changed with illness and injury. Both are inflection points in one’s life. Either you pay attention and react to the situation or you stay the same and suffer the consequences. The picture - Well, last time I saw 229 lbs on a scale was 1989 as I entered the kitchen in East Hampton as chef. For 36 years I’ve fluctuated up and down. 272lb at my highest (I think) and never below 245lb for almost 25 years. No drugs, no magic, just a little fear (actually a lot of fear) the desire to live longer and get healthy. My body is still broken and it’s trying to tell me how to heal, and getting rid of 30 lbs is a good start. Don’t stop believing!

I learned a valuable lesson this week about managing expectations, emotions and keeping them in the right bucket. Let’s simply say the graphic sums up my thoughts this week. I’m grateful that my own reality didn’t match my fu**ed up imagination. Breath…. I Can Do Better….
