Daily Success for an elderly peregrino is symbolized by this statue

Daily Success July 28 – Outstanding.

Yesterday

Daily success yesterday was mostly exercise and somewhat accidental at that. My rule is that if I’m feeling chilled, the bike is a better way to warm up than adding a layer or going outside in the heat. It takes 10 to 20 minutes to feel warm …

We are making real progress on the FCRS (a name that must change) project development effort. We started the naming contest, which has some really good stuff already. Progress was also notable on the project plan. The first draft of that MUST be finished today.

Today

Daily success today is the bike and a full set of arm and shoulder physical therapy. My left knee is a tiny bit better, but there is no way that leg strength exercises would make the slightest sense. Rest now, lubricant injections when we get home from France.

FCRS has priority for most of the rest of the day, but there are a lot of chores. Focus is beyond necessary.

The Future

Daily success in the future, especially over the next month, will be very challenging, but in a good way. France, with the river cruise as the centerpiece, will be a huge distraction, but the plan for the trip includes a black TheraBand and a yoga mat. It won’t be as much as usual, but it will be much better than nothing.

The second major effort is simply professional engagement. My plan is to use LinkedIn to publicize what we are doing on FCRS, possibly expand the naming contest to there, and mention the project to my colleagues early and often. Plus, expanding my LinkedIn reach, starting with getting over the 500 connections hurdle, will also help.

One key, however, is to get the GoVentures web page adapted to the new needs. That will take a little time as well. Cris from Naked Girl is already on it.
