Daily Comment

As the New Year winds down, I am struck again, by the difference between my experience of the passage of time and the reality that there is only the eternal now, what Seth/Jane Roberts calls the Moment Point in simultaneous time.

That is what gets celebrated, And it happens, of course, simultaneously for everyone.

Back in the experiential world, I was finally able to wish my son Happy New Year face-to-face with Facetime (Apple's version of Skype) at 9:15 PT, right before I nodded off myself.

I find myself looking forward to 2013 optimistically. I guess, Andy, I am wired for that.

Diet Comment

Well, there it is: Net on the year, +1.8 pounds.

I can live with that. We'll see what 2013 brings. I'm going to stay conscious of my food intake, maybe do a few less cheat days, or change to the two cheat-meals per week plan. I haven't decided. Anyway, it isn't something I'm going to think about today.
