good morning fellow steemians, it appears i’ve been reduced to a one egg breakfast situation this morning, i really thought i had another pack of six eggs, guess i’m gonna have to load up on toast instead. dammit, i went to the shop and everything last night as well, the case of the missing box of eggs eh? - anyway, it’s friday morning, it’s a good day because today is ella day and i get to see my sweetheart and pick her up from school today.

you see most of the week i don’t really see anyone, where i am i’m not around a lot of people, just me and nature, it’s quiet, it’s perfect but at the end of a week from friday till middle of the next day i get to see my daughter, it’s perfect, i kinda wish i had her the whole weekend but i’m sure over the years that will change, just being constantly there each weekend has been the requirement for at least the last eight years.

i have no salsa today so i’m imagining by the photo i took the other day that i’ve actually got salsa for my eggs. what’s your breakfast normally look like? of late i’ve been a low fat/no fat yogurt and granola with banana type of guy as it’s a great slow release food that keeps me going until early afternoon, normally consumed before coffee and after a big slug of lemon water. it’s my favourite breakfast if i can afford decent granola and yogurt. this week it’s been a starchy protein kinda breakfasts.

in fact when i think about it, food in general has been quite basic but yet yummy all the same, my mum keeps giving me these tins each week when me and ella visit for brunch or dinner, i’ve been mashing it up with garlic and onions and a nice smooth passata over pasta, it’s not special but it get’s the job done. i’m hope this weekend to break out the pizza over and make some cookies and some dough balls with ella if i get the chance, i know it’s going to be a hot one so we will ‘play it by ear’ — do you have that expression, is it an english expression?

first website of the morning!

found myself all week coming to steemit all week this week instead of firing up the usual gmail or upwork first which is quite off, i’m always interested to see the latest, popular, trending stuff which is interesting because i normally save my news/consuming to bed time with the fantastic flipboard and my iPad, funny how habits switch.

today’s task and challenge is to finish up on another couple of blog posts i’ve been wanting to write for like ever and then record the intro bumpers out of keynote, it should not take too long to record and edit them, i might even drop a preview of the different parts of the course before i sit down on monday and record as much of the three hour course as possible — i’m really behind with my course making.

keeping mental clarity

i’ve really struggled again with focus this week which has me a little concerned, writing is great because it gives me a balance, line in the sand and allows me to spill out on to the digital page but i’ve just not been motivated or focused enough to record feeling inauthentic if i rush it or don’t do it from a place of being on point, do you get that at time?

it’s the second week now where i’ve struggled to actually get the content recorded, i had my green screen down all week ready to go but i found an excuse be it weather, neighbours nearby or just me not able to articulate, it feels somedays like i might just become a deaf mute if i ever talk again, i hope this cloud will pass. it has too if i’m to get back on track and achieve some of these goals i’ve set myself.

co-working and connections

three main focuses right now, transport, co-working and steemfest2 (travel in general) — really need to be in a position to make sure my car can stay on the road and i can start to move towards upgrading that to the rv or camper can, i’m desperate to get out there on the road around the uk and then later onto europe, at that time maybe we will both (me and @dayleeo) in a position to drive to the co-working spot i want to check out in europe.

it’s been a semi-rough last six months and i’m well aware this is the perfect time to make moves, get everything recorded and organised for when people get back to jobs and reality in the end of august. people are mainly away from the computer in the june/july months apart from those poolside watching instagram stories and writing out blog posts! :)

november will come up fast as well after august so getting some resources together to make the portugal trip a reality need to happen over the next twelve weeks to be in with a chance of making it. it means pulling some major hours, and it’s just the motivation i need. i need to step it up, force the clarity, put all the other stuff to the side and just keep an eye on the prize.

gotta keep the eyes on the prize my friends. eat well, drink water, take meditation time out, sprint those hours, reflect often, consider the world around you, help someone out, live life not exist within it, stay humble.
