You have ups, and you have downs. This week I chose to focus on myself and my needs: I read two books, listened to music, spent time with the baby, reconnected with my partner by actively being more present, cooked delicious food all week (banana nut muffins this morning topped it off), started a professional mentorship series with a few former coworkers, and didn't have a single sev1 fire to deal with or put out this week at work.

But even as I type this, I realize how everything I've described above is just a small part of everything that made my week what it was, and how much of my perception of the week is due to intentionality toward things I give energy and mental/emotional focus to. We shape our own worlds every day, to one degree or another. This week I've been thinking a lot about the world(s) I'm shaping, actively and passively, and how previous choices have culminated in the experience I'm having now.
