Crazy Schedules, Wonderful Books and Planning - A Typical Day

Yesterday's crazy schedule actually worked out. I didn't shop at the co-op, but I actually didn't need most of the groceries I needed from there until Friday, so I've pushed the co-op off a couple of days. I was in plenty of time for my 9:00 am quarterly phone call with my financial advisor, and had time to set up and watch Sadhguru's talk at 10:00, along with more than 3500 other people. I've participated in many of these Zoom presentations over the past few months, but this talk brought in more listeners than any other I've ever been in. 




I purchased "Karma" yesterday and I'm 
looking forward to reading it. Although 
he has several other books, the only other 
one I'm really interested in is "Death". 



According to Vishin, the CEO of MindValley, Sadhguru's class will become available within a couple of months. That seemed to take Sudhguru a bit by surprise, which I found amusing. I'm inclined to side with the motorcycle-riding guru on this one, and whenever the class actually does become available, I'm definitely going to subscribe to it. Sadhguru was fascinating to listen to as he tackled the various topics introduced by Vishin and by the audience. I did buy his newest book, "Karma", in e-book version. I'll load that up on my non-fiction reader and probably start working through it today. It's a top-seller with a huge number of 5-star reviews, so I want to see what the fuss is all about (in addition to wanting to read it just because of the subject matter). I've got to love any older, eccentric gentleman who talks about karma and rides a Ducati motorcycle. 




The other book of his I'm interested in 
reading is this one. I have a 20% off 
coupon that expires at the end of the 
month. I'll probably use that and save 
a little bit. It should be an interesting 
read. 



In fact, yesterday's tight schedule managed to resolve itself into a rather nicely-paced day, which was quite a surprise. I'm pleased, though, I was not looking forward to a push and tug of a day. Aearwen and I had a great chat to finish off the day, and as always, we connected on many levels. She's most definitely a Sister From a Different Mother and I'm so happy to have found her many years ago. 




Getting to and from my bank often feels like 
I'm taking a "Great Circle Route". Since my local 
branch closed several years ago, it's a good long 
drive to our closest location. 

Were you taught that the shortest distance 
between two points is a straight line? That 
doesn't take into account the Great Circle 
Routes, which are actually shorter than 
the straight line, as shown above. 



Today's schedule is a bit hectic to start out, but then will settle down. I need to get to the shop, drop off my stuff, and head right back out to the bank. I probably should have asked DH to bring the deposit home with him, but he more than likely would have forgotten anyway. On that rather boring note, I'm totally out of here. I have things to do, people to see, and more things to do - LOL. Have a totally EXCELLENT and MAGNIFICENT day and please, be kind and stay safe. I'll be back tomorrow.
