Welcome to Friday - Ive been so clobbered for so long that Im only now starting to find clear air to think. When I got the last fix done on my Macbook I could hardly keep my hands off it - itchy to get back into work. Im now co-authoring a paper with a friend who is simulating the predator-prey life cycles of insects from experimental data. GWA want more of my time too. And then theres Deb and John doing so many things and me there some of the time. Which brings us back to questions of the life you want rather than the job you can do. So proud of what were accomplishing on the podcast, and perhaps most importantly the friendships Ive made with the kind people who help - you know who you are :) So proud of the quality and the analysis, and thankful for the listeners. More than anything, its a lot of work - and yet we make it happen by creating pride - and having fun :) Some people in my life wouldnt have thought I could help that happen. What Ive accepted is that I sometimes get an idea and it grows at a pace that makes it hard to keep other people up to speed. Deb says from the outside its like nothings happening and then boom it shows up. I may subconsciously play into this behaviour by understating what Im doing to other people. What I know is, like anyone else I guess, I do as much as I feel I can and then I rest.. Which unfortunately feeds the behaviour my Dad had where he did stuff but withdrew from friendships and life. I think the pods remediate this behaviour. With my friends I try to contribute something of value to lots of people. I reach them while still doing the real life work. It talks to the conversation with my father. I miss him dearly and dont judge him. But I want to be here for John - he deserves that :)
