This week if you were on the hunt for testosterone and visited the Ash trees in my back yard (yes they are still there – pictured above), you would have hit the jackpot. A crew of virile young men tree trimmers, accompanied by equipment that looked to me vintage Star Wars, swarmed my trees.
Personally a fan of the overgrown look, I was less than 100% enthusiastic when my partner praised the results. Perhaps this is the result of growing up with a Father that cut down or severely trimmed everything that showed any hint of life force.
Dan Harris, author of 10% Happier, entertained me when I wasn’t watching the tree trimmers. The subtitle: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing my Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works, A True Story, accurately describes what the book covers. An easy read that made me glad that I meditate.
Enjoy summer!
