Here is a poem I wrote in February. I hope it provides insight into a life in transition as well as a life in general, and what the speaker values. Thank you, Asia, for providing the time and space for poetry.
Notes to Self
re-grade the late assignments
email vendors about Interim
plan the next units for JENG and APL
eat at work instead of at home sometimes
check on your parents Sunday morning
play Yahtzee with Alec more often
buy stickies to put appreciation notes on his door
call Adam to see if he is okay
check the Wisconsin Covid news and numbers
see how Paul is doing after his surgery
plan a staycation with Brent
clean out at least one drawer every week
don't obsess about the lives disrupted by Covid
shelter your morning meditation time no matter what
start practicing qigong again more regularly
practice your new gong for 30 minutes per day
notice the clear blue skies and the low pollution
watch the News only one time per day
send that donation to Future Hope
give away what you don't wear or use anymore
send your daily gratitude list to Lars
swim for 30 minutes on Tuesdays at 5
buy a new high quality microphone
finish the book club book before Thursday
invite friends out for dinner Saturday night
figure out your clothing style for gonging
notice the kindness of others; do kind acts
find a student to help create a business card and logo
find a new employer for Mhel
find a home for Rigby
get Jigs up-to-date on his rabies vaccination
find the best price for one-way tickets
