4/15 check in

In full war season here so perfect days are a challenge hitting but are still on the mind offering some healthy recovery and habits focus and reminders.

Been a challenging week. A really close friend (and my long time ally) lost his wife unexpectedly last week. She was diagnosed with cancer only a couple of weeks before and had just begun treatment. She was a wonderful person and the 2.5hr line last night at her wake was a testament to this. My heart broke a little on this loss and it’s hard seeing my friend so devastated.

It’s brought about a bunch of stuff for me given I just hit the one year anniversary on Monday of my own cancer journey. I guess in my never ending drive to pushing forward through this whole experience, it took this close hit to home to shake some stuff loose I’ve been holding and carrying on my own journey.

And picking back up with my VA therapist tomorrow to continue to pick at some of these PTSD behaviors and triggers. Been a little closed off with people since I’ve begun this journey with them and dedicated to seeing this through to the other side. Will take some time to address what’s being shook loose right now while I have her ear.

Business is good and slamming. Still short handed because it seems a majority of young men do not have the desire to physically work hard but we’re managing. Have another potential joining the team next week. All of the approaches, management techniques and processes I learned and developed are being employed with what I feel like is pretty good success. We’re still in the forming stage though, so the real test is still to come with the storming stage. Dedicated to this as well, but the Magician work I did all winter seems to be starting to pay off in these early stages.
