8/3/10 Bear Valley : Letting go and doing good,

Today, Luke came in from rehearsal and told me that he didn't take care of himself. He's had a rough season and it's very hard work for the concert master of the Bear.

I could feel my face getting red. BUT I had an inner conversation instead. I said, Willow, Luke is an adult. If he decides to skip his break and work hard for someone else's mistake--that's his deal. So change the subject and move on.

We had a lovely lunch together. It's a GD when you don't push on the person who is stuck with you --day and night.

That's not to say that I wouldn't say something if he really needed to hear it . . . . I guess it's a judgement call. This time I thought--oh well. He feels like a hero and that has to count for something.

As I work on my GD project, I feel friendlier to others. That makes it nicer to be around me and more fun for me.

Baba always said: whatever you do, you do it for yourself. Now, that's a multi-layered statement. Even on the surface, if you look for good more good comes to you. Like a reflection.
