    Thanks very much Anita.

    I had a good few days in Rome. Back late last night, minor bicker with my partner today but otherwise good. Hope all is well.

    You are very welcome, Tom. Sorry about the minor bicker. Does it feel minor to you?

    I ask because a minor bicker can feel major, at least temporarily?

    And welcome to the fourth decade of life

    it felt bigger at the time but after a good sleep, it has blown over.

    Back to work tomorrow and up early for the gym to start the week right.

    Hey Tom:

    I’m glad it blew over after a good night sleep ⏲️

    It’d be (or was by the time you read this message) your first day and first week at work and at the gym 🏋️‍♂️ as 40-year-old Tom. It may feel old to you, but you’re “just a pup” like an older friend of mine likes to say 🙂

    Perhaps take this prayer 🙏 with you everywhere you go this week: “.. Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference” (The Serenity Prayer).

    May this be a serene week for you.

    ✔️ 🏋️‍♂️ ✨️ Anita

    I hope 🙏 you’re okay, Tom. You are such a decent person. You deserve good things, at the least- peace of mind and heart.

    👍 🤍 Anita

    Hey Anita,

    How are you? Hope all is good.

    Thanks for checking in. I’ve been doing ok, really keeping up with the healthy food and fitness which is helping me remain balanced about things. Work is ok but still don’t enjoy it and keep looking to see what else is out there. One of my direct reports is been challenging which isn’t helping.

    At home things are good. We are trying to start a family which has its challenges as it happened yet and my partner gets quite stressed about it but we keep moving and taking it day by day.

    Hey 👋 Tom:

    Good to read back from you 🙂

    Healthy food and fitness are healthy emotion regulators, keeping you balanced about things 👍

    I hope that your partner has her own emotion regulators: practices that keep her balanced at this time of elevated stress 🙏

    And I hope that the challenge to your direct report resolves soon 🙏

    So, what are the chances that you’ll become a father in the next year or two, and how do you feel about it (if you’d like to share and only if you do 🙂)?

    I too take it one day at a time- an emotion regulating attitude. A daily long walk is an emotion regulating practice for me. Having a beagle who is slightly snoring right now next to me helps too ✨️

    🤍 Anita
