Nerd Fitness Academy - Daily Food and Quest, 10/12/14

"Today I got work, and I like it that way.
It's a case of a still-life gone cinema verite."
                             -Dar Williams, "In Love But Not at Peace


Pretty good day in terms of quest progress.  It feels like I'm building a rhythm of sorts, and really moving away from boom-and-bust fitness cycles.  It'll be a while before I start feeling like I'm not waiting for the other shoe to drop, but I can sort of maybe possibly imagine continuing on this journey months.

It makes me wonder: what else can I use momentum to fix?  I've screwed up parts of my life in pretty significant ways - school, family, money, relationships.  Maybe big fixes I've tried in those areas, which often fail shortly after, are not the way to go.  They're dramatic and enticing, but perhaps there's another way.
