@Lendon Pope @Rhys Hall @Tah Whitty @Corbin Sellers just want to say thanks for letting me vent last night. I'm appreciative of this group and the concepts that give me some focus to move thru things like this. Until about a year ago when I started venturing into these types of spaces, I'd never been in any groups or really had friendships to share my stuff. My issues were mine alone. I met @Jared Johnson and started participating and found a whole new world where expression was OK and learned how much easier it is to process something by talking thru vs the old habit of push it down and forget about it. Thank you.

Greetings fam. I've been getting some great movement and workouts in recently and been loving the process. Question: What's your movement practice? Do you have one? Whats been your journey regarding your physical health. Drop it in the comments. I'll start.

Last week I celebrated my 50th. Birthdays have never been a huge event for me. Another day. Nice dinner, maybe a few presents from my family. Then it's over, no worries. I think there was some external factors with work, my physical state (lack of sleep), but the day was off and I didn't feel right. The morning started with our local Expanse face to face meetup with @Jared Johnson and @Chance Lundgren . Good discussions as always. Afterwards I hung back with Jared. We talked a bit. I decided I needed a massage to try to unwind and he called around and got one booked for me. That was amazing and thanks to Jared for making that happen. I went to lunch with my 2 brothers. Came home and pretty much just chilled with my family . I wasn't feeling great so we ended up not going out, just watching some movies with my wife and kids. My wife had asked that morning what I wanted to do for my bday and I just said "for noone to demand or need things from me" it was said with a little sarcasm, but was the honest truth. That was Friday. The weekend was pretty calm, just hanging out with the family. My mother-in-law came for a nice Easter dinner. Not even sure what I'm sharing here other than I wanted to acknowledge @Jared Johnson for pushing me to just go do what felt right in the moment. I don't really understand why the day felt so heavy (and still not sure). I think there's some frustration and anger around where I expected and thought life would look a lot different at 50 than it does. I am often torn between doing what I want vs what's expected. I know if I get really poor sleep it can send my emotions haywire, but is that just because I'm really tired? Or is it because if I'm not tired I can more effectively suppress those emotions? And yes, I'm open to anything anyone wants to throw at me 😁.
