Day 84 -- a good day

Got to the POD early -- had a chance to check with Susan about the POM claim notification, and then had a good, long talk with Mike T., Bob H., and Steve S.  Things at HRB are still up in the air.  Mike thinks there will be some evident stability showing in 30 - 60 days.  That just happens to be a pretty stock answer for Mike -- it has occasional accuracy.  Steve's wife is showing more signs of disease progression (she has Alzheimer's).  We finished the class -- during the practice time, I spent most of the time networking and coaching, after I finished the first class exercise.  Also found out today several of us in that class are taking the next two classes meeting on Wed am for the next 4 weeks.  We're all just getting in our CE hours, and the Wed morning classes just fit our schedules.
Came home and after lunch, took the course exam and passed -- even though my Windows has a bit of trouble with the online exam. 
I am noticing there seems to be a difference in how I'm looking at things.  I don't take things so seriously and and far less defensive.  Even giving myself less of a hard time when I just "chill out" instead of doing something I "should".  I guess it is because I have experienced such a great loss, everything else seem to shrink in importance.  Also I am finding that I have a lot more patience.  I don't obsess over a planned event or occasion like I used to.  Just acknowledge that I would like for something to happen more quickly and don't have to obsess over how it will turn out -- I am much more willing to wait and see (as if there is a choice.).
