k_carefree知足常乐easy_life …. k_tectonic …. k_def_of_success … k_X_focusing_illusion

These few weeks might be one of the best times in the last 12M. The fact that I’m trying to find time to clear backlog in git-blogg and emails … is a telltale sign of stable stress and effecrive coping.

Many of the factors would start to /fade/ within a month but let’s live in the present.

• — I like, and actually moved up, twisters (“_b_u_t_”)  and highly specific items ..
• [j] grand parents declining _b_u_t_ finally moving into luxury DJDJ, with a franchise, trec and reputation.
• .. I did my part to help out.
• [z] meimei math .. falling _b_u_t_ daily drill with daddy. I did my part
• [h] job satisfaction declining _b_u_t_ relatively stable job, unlike Frank.Fu during his final year, or Ash.S unhappy about his job
• .. [z] engagement, commitment at work… with sense of urgency, growing confidence
• my assigned projects (for this fortnight only) .. challenging, unfamiliar _b_u_t_ within my competence, with reasonble timelines, a lot of local help
• [h] boy chat .. still going strong even after CAD
• [j] intimacy .. still enjoyable even after CAD, on the back of a stable relationship, and supported by consistent workout
• [z] pull-up.. still going strong
• [z] body flexibility .. reasonable up-keep
• [h] China capital control .. a real stressor. I have mellowed a bit
• [j] income .. not decling; actually higher than ever, thans to successZ
• .. [h] inflation .. affecting me much less than my peers or the general public
• [j] declining mental capacity at work .. to my surprise, am not falling behind most of my (younger) teammates
• [v] no illness .. skin, joints,,
• [j] no sleep problem .. no mosquito no heat wave. I still sleep easy..
• .. thanks to my workout
• [v] no breakdown at home or in any hardware
• [v] no pff challenge this month
• — not exactly about 12m-high
• BGC .. title progress albeit slow; rental non-stop
• [v] parenting anxiety reduced from end of 2023
• —
• [j=not 江河日下 quick decline as expected]
• [h=holding strong despite the widespread pattern of decline among other people]
• [v=vague]
• [z=successZ]

— Turning point?
Friday 31May chat with boss… gaining confidence, commitment,,, to localSys
Grandparents move-in … harmony

(More important?) Inflection points

• CAD .. acceptance, adaptation
• Grandpa decline .. acceptance and harmony
• Boy’s O-levels .. acceptance and hamony
• meimei’s math .. acceptance and consistent effort

Q: So, which tectonic plate strengthened the most during this “improvement”?
A: gz.

Many plates experienced small quakes (aging, academics, CAD, wellness,,,) but each plate has improved in flexibility, resilience and harmony, even if temporary… successZ

My successC declined, my successZ strengthened.
