Difficult working day, carrying thoughts of the day home with me. For the most part, I was able to remain calm, to pace myself with the work, and to decide what I could do to channel feelings into a positive action. I decided to document the activities at work so I could objectively assess what was going on and try to offer some solutions. This gave me more of a feeling that I can have some control of the situation, or at least how I react to it. Documentation may provide data to support a thoughtful decision-making process. The documentation was simple and took no more than five minutes. Getting the work done involved working two hours of overtime. If today is going to be a typical scenario, that projects into a 50-hour work week for me. After work, I sat down and wrote about my feelings for a while to help resolve them and relieve stress.
Meditation tonight is involved in thoughts, hearing my heart beat, struggling with staying in the moment, trying not to project into the future or play scenes from the past. My intention is to keep an open mind and to remain mindful of the possibilities of working with this situation.

Yes, all well, making some adjustments to work schedule, and, therefore, meditation schedule. Although this week has been stressful, my sense that I work with compassionate folks is essential in helping me to focus on the workability of the situation. It's the weekend now, time to catch up with myself. I read your blog on a regular basis as well; thanks for checking on me.
