Great reminder for the New Year from James Clear: "New goals don't deliver new results. New lifestyles do. And a lifestyle is a process, not an outcome. For this reason, all of your energy should go into building better habits, not chasing better results."

It’s the first time in almost 30 years that I jogged this far/long without having to stop and walk. It’s still a pretty slow pace (I think a few turtles lapped me), but I’m making progress!

Finishing up my online e-learning “Night Dive” section of the PADI Advanced Open Water course while watching an Okinawan sunset from my rooftop porch in preparation for my first-ever night dive tomorrow. A little scared, not going to lie, but also excited!

My niece Veronica (Roni) Barnard, was in a terrible automobile accident last week, and she is now brain-dead. Please pray for her family members, especially her four children, who are mourning her loss. Lord, have mercy.

Atomic Habits author James Clear shared a great quote in his 3-2-1 Newsletter today from The Summer of the Great-Grandmother, written by Madeline L’Engle, author of 60 books: "Inspiration usually comes during work, rather than before it."
