Engaged Rather than Isolated

Finished painting the hallway today, apart from some finishing touches which require a steady hand. I had stopped because I was getting tired and knew I would make mistakes if I carried on.

[This was more likely an excuse, and hints at a pattern of mine, highlighted in this entry from 5th April 2000.]

One thing I have learnt is that I will more readily accept tasks, jobs and exercises in the future (after careful consideration of the implications and possible consequences) because it is an opportunity to be with myself and learn about myself.

Even though I have been alone this weekend I have felt engaged rather than isolated.
