Last week I meditated 15 mins/day for most of the week. Really helped clear my mind, reset my emotions and ground my state. The workouts suffered since I got sick and just didn't have the energy, tried to get out for some sprints and walking at least though.
This week I initiated a call with my sister and brother-in-law, inviting them to move their family from Hawaii to our home in Michigan as an extended sabbatical/ financial launchpad. I have only just realized how much of a difficult financial position they are in right now, partially as a result of my sister having her 3rd child and being unable to work full time. But they have also been chronically living beyond their means. Naturally, this also opened up other difficult conversations between my Mom (who has been supplementing their income for a few months), my wife (her concerns about how it will all play out), and I about how to best help them, our boundaries, etc. I've held a strong frame of support through most the conversations, in part because I hold gratitude for all the times I was similarly supported by family, friends, and strangers over the years.
