This afternoon I met with a grief counselor and we had a very good starting discussion. Yes, I am doing ok. Yes, there is an emotional wall out there. Yes, most likely I will hit it--almost everyone does. Yes, there appears to be methods and practices that can help me hit the wall with less damage. We will be meeting regularly for a while to monitor my progress and provide tips, techniques and methods to help me through the roughest spots. The therapy will concentrate on behaviors to help me in the use of the methods and techniques.
When I got home, I decided to bike to the grocery store to get a cut of fish for dinner. Our fishmonger was not at Farmers' Market yesterday and I had been looking forward to a nice cut of either salmon or tuna. I bought the tuna. I'll be searing it in the next few minutes. Well, because I got home a bit early from my session, I did a bit of exploring on the bike trails that run along Los Gatos creek. Here is a link to the route I took tonight--over 18 miles and about 2 hours not including the stop at the grocery store--Lunardi's. I see by the map there is more bike trail going north to San Francisco bay and I'll have to explore that sometime! Should be fun! What you cannot really tell from the map is that the trail is close to flat over the entire distance I traveled. As you go further south on the trail, it climbs into the Santa Cruz mountains and that is a tough bike ride.
For now, time to feed the dogs and me.
Ciao
