@holon42 WPS Office is the word processor I use because it seems the best option that doesn't involve me paying Microsoft every month. It's also got Linux compatibility.

@holon42 It is odd, which is why I went through the settings, looking for anything out of place.

Turns out I had to turn on smart backup, it wasn't automatically ticked.

Live and learn?

I hit a bit of a setback. My Mac crashed yesterday, and I didn't think anything of it, but all the work I did on my story vanished, so I'm going back over what I covered yesterday.

The good news is that I'm getting reacquainted with the story which should have me in a good position to push the full narrative forward when I finish my review.

Now if only I could stop nibbling on the pretzels.

@InvaderGzim @amarand That one hurts, but thats one of the reasons I do it every morning.

@Vozy It is always a great joy when we get to talk. You bring so much joy with you.

@Vozy Good luck at the Dentist brother! May all go well!

@InvaderGzim @amarand Bun Yoga!

@Kurtroedeger @amarand @raspberrypanda

Coso con!

@Idrake Rad! I have many close friends and spirit family who are dragons. My editors are dragons.

@Idrake Hello groovy soul. It's nice to meet you. Thank you for joining me on the journey!

@Idrake He will be missed. I was shocked to get the news this morning.

@amarand Oh that reminds me of hiking across Norcal!

@MisterE You too bud. I'm getting warnings from Southwest that TS Debby may affect my travel plans but I'm hoping not. I'm flying out of Baltimore Friday, and tomorrow it looks to be rolling through where I'm currently staying.

Lots of wet!

@amarand I'll be there soon enough. There is no need to rush it :P

@MisterE It's going pretty well my dear friend. I'll be travelling home Friday and I'm looking forward to it!

How are things with you today?

@MisterE @YouTube That one is a blast from the past.

@publickovacs Those kids are lucky to have you. You're warm, empathetic, and approachable, everything someone would look for in an educator. I don't say that simply to compliment or encourage you. Instead, it comes from a position of knowing you on here, and seeing you interact from day to day.

You've got this. Keep on shining bright heart!

Learning to listen to my body is the hardest part of my training. I want to push and I do not want to lose ground, but I've stumbled into injury enough to develop these monitoring and tracking habits to keep me going.

I think I'm ok, just more overstrained than I thought.

Onward, toward the dawn!

Good morning groovy souls!

My eating was bad yesterday and I was hoping to make up for it today with a solid morning run...

Then I took my HRV reading, and it wasn't great. As is my habit with these things, I cleared that reading, waiting a few minutes and took it again.

That one was the worst one I've ever recorded, so there's something up with my symptom.

I'm wondering if the hunger yesterday and the reading may be connected, so I'm resting today.

Suddenly it all clicked what he meant. A moment lost, is a moment lost, it's a lifetime lost, but that moment, inevitably gives way to the next moment.

And with each new moment, you have a new opportunity to practice and be that much better than the moment before.

Every moment we die, every moment we rise again, and this is a microcosm for existence writ large. We are finite beings on an infinite path of discovery and renewal.

Onward, toward the dawn!
