In this episode of Relationships Rule, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jimmy Page, leadership expert, author, and co-creator of the powerful One Word philosophy.

Jimmy has spent decades helping leaders, teams, and organizations improve culture, performance, and purpose. Through his work with athletes, businesses, and ministries around the world, he has trained more than 100,000 leaders and continues to inspire people to live what he calls an unstoppable life.

During our conversation, Jimmy shared how the simple idea of choosing one guiding word for the year can bring clarity and focus to every area of life. Instead of setting long lists of goals that often fade away, the One Word approach helps people align their decisions, habits, and relationships around a single intention.

We also talked about the importance of relationships in shaping our lives and leadership. One of my favorite moments in this conversation was the story involving my previous guest, Coach Jim Johnson. When Coach Jim recently reconnected with Jimmy, he realized Jimmy had actually been one of the high school basketball players he coached years earlier. It was a wonderful reminder that relationships often come full circle in unexpected and meaningful ways.

Jimmy’s message is simple but powerful: when you focus on what truly matters, you not only perform better, you build stronger relationships and live with greater purpose.

Key Takeaways

• A single guiding word can bring clarity and intention to your life and leadership.

• Simplifying your focus often leads to stronger results than chasing many goals.

• Purpose and performance are deeply connected to the relationships we build along the way.

• Leaders who focus on culture, mindset, and wellness create stronger teams.

• The right word can act as a compass for decisions throughout the year.

So today we're talking about living with

purpose, performing at a high level, and the relationships

that shape our journey along the way. My guest is Jimmy Page, a

leadership and human performance expert, speaker and author of

several books, including one word he's, I think 10x his

author status, so I know he's got a lot of books out there.

Jimmy helps individuals and organizations live what he calls

an unstoppable life by focusing on purpose, health, mindset and

leadership. There's also a special relationship connection

behind this conversation, as Jimmy was introduced to me by a

previous guest, coach Jim Johnson, and when Coach Jim

recently reconnected with Jimmy, he realized that Jimmy had once

been one of the high school basketball players he had

coached, that kind of full circle moment reminds us just

how powerful and lasting relationships can be.

Jimmy, welcome to the show. Oh Janice, great to be

here. Thanks for having me My pleasure,

it's always interesting to me how one leads

to another, to another, to another, and I love that. And I

don't know if you know that when Coach when I was introduced to

coach Jim, there were so many parallels to my husband,

although my husband never quite made the the provincial

championship, he was that close, like Coach Jim was for a while,

but, but as a high school coach, basketball coach, he was revered

by a lot of kids, and that went on into adulthood. So it's

really kind of special to see someone like that. So I'm so

that, to me, was really, really an interesting connection that

you have with him. But let's start with the idea that has

impacted so many people. Your One Word philosophy. How did it

begin? Tell me about that a little bit Sure.

You know, about 27 years ago now, Dan Britton and

I, my co author, and then our third co author, John Gordon. We

were kind of doing life together. And at the time, we

really wanted to maximize our life. You know, we knew, we knew

intuitively, that you only get one shot at this, and we wanted

to take advantage of it and make it the most productive, most

impactful that it could be. And at the time, we were writing new

year's resolutions every year, every single year, we create a

game plan. And I you could, if you could see, I wish I had

saved some of these, but we had lists upon lists of things that

we were going to get done, you know, relate to this, right?

Yeah, these are all the things that we're going to get done

this year. And inevitably, like most people, it didn't take very

long to to lose focus and to have some frustration and

failure, and then by the time you realized you, you know, you

were off track. You had completely lost track of what

you were going to accomplish for the year. So we were challenged

by a friend to narrow our focus to one single word for the year,

to kind of create a one word theme and to drive towards

positive life change. You know, see how that word might change

you from the inside out. And I was really intrigued by that

Janice, because, you know, the to do list, everyone gets worn

out by the to do list. And but boy, when you talk about a to be

list, you know, let's say my word for the year was peace. I

want to be a man of peace. I want to experience peace even in

the middle of a storm. All of a sudden you're changing your own

DNA. Yeah, that's Yeah. And what we discovered was we really

focused more on who we were becoming, rather than what we

were doing. And that was like a breath of fresh air for us, to

be honest.

Yeah, it is, isn't it? Actually, it made you

smile. It made me smile as soon as you started to talk about,

oh, it's about being, not doing, and then the pressure is kind of

different. It's, it, yes, feels like it takes the pressure off.

I don't know that it actually does, but it's, you see it

through different lenses, through a different lens, right?

Oh, yeah. I mean, you enter the year with a

positive expectation for the ways your life is going to

change in a measurable way, you know. So for me, we talked about

the six dimensions of life, you know, kind of your your mental,

emotional, physical, relational, was a big one, spiritual and

even financial. And we said, hey, what if this one single

word could have broad impact on all aspects of our life? And

then you start to look for it, right? You know, the power of

your mindset. You know, I do a whole program called reset your

mindset, and it talks about you. You find what you focus on. You

know, you you actually get what you expect. So when we enter the

new year with this positive expectation around a single

word, which, by the way, remembering one word instead of

15 resolutions.

Yes, for sure. You know, I did that for a

while, and I'm just thinking I didn't do it this year, and I'm

not sure why, but I remember last year's word. I did do that.

It was rise, and yeah, and it was me wanting to rise. In

different areas of my life and and I so I know exactly what

you're talking about. I'm not sure why I didn't go with it

this year with a word. I must have something. Must have been

going on at the end of the year or something. I don't know. But

so the other piece to that that I thought was really

interesting, and I do want to, I think I have to get this book,

and it's the one you did for children. Talk to me about that.

How did that come to be? It's one word for kids, right? Is

that?

What the book's, yeah, one word for kids. And

it's really it chronicles the story of a little boy in a in a

school, and his journey to this, his journey, not only his, but

his teachers and his classmates journey to find their words,

their one word for the year. And, you know, these kids kind

of go into the school year kind of, you know, wishing they were

on summer break, yeah. And the teacher was like, hey, no, but

we're going to have the greatest year ever, because you're going

to pick a word for the year. It's going to help you be your

best. And they all were like, well, what word is it? And we

take them through the journey. It is absolutely my favorite

book.

Oh, really, because, oh, my god, me, I'm a

children's like I was a teacher, yeah, and I have my

granddaughter now that I can bring into this fold. But what's

what age group is that aimed at?

It's really, I would say, kind of four to 10, four to

four to nine, four to 10, you know. And so it's kind of that

early school age, you know. And what we discovered was kids

intuitively know what word they want for the really, really,

maybe, you know, I think as adults, we've got a lot of lot

of baggage in the way to destroy,

yeah, there's so no filters, and it's, yeah,

yeah, it's easier. I am going to test it with my granddaughter,

because she's six and a half. But, yeah, so we'll see where it

goes. But, you know, we did. We do a lot of the I am statements,

the affirmations and things like that, but, but this, this, yeah,

be interesting. Her birthday is in July, and I think that's

probably a good time to do. It actually, is that perfect? Yeah.

I mean, we've seen it done throughout the year. You

know, I would say that the most intuitive times of year is

around the New Year, yes. And then it's during the school year

for sure. Oh, start of school, yeah. And then we've had just

incredible success, kind of linking back to Coach Johnson,

with teams. I mean, we've, we've rolled this out with literally

1000s and 1000s of teams at every level, from middle school

to high school, college professional all the way to

Olympics. Love it. And that singular focus really gives

people the the what they need to be really

and you can draw them back by reminding them of

that word, right? Yes, yeah, that's very cool. Well, on that

note, do you have any like, one story that sticks out for you

that with with a team or a company or whatever that you

taught this process to, and that something major magic happened?

I think one of the stories kind of at that at that

collegiate level, that team level is at the University of

Virginia, okay? And they, this was in probably, I think 2017

the team was the best team in the country they were going into

the was

it basketball? It was basketball, okay, yes, best

basketball team in the country. They were going

into March Madness, which is the tournament here. And they were

the number one seed. They played the number 16 seed in their

bracket. A number one seed had never lost to a 16 seed ever,

right, right? And they and they did, oh my goodness. And you

know the coach, Tony Bennett, who's probably one of the

greatest coaches that ever lived, just a great man cared

about his players. Great man of God. He he knew he was at a

crossroads, you know, like, hey, this team could fall apart. This

is embarrassing. And everybody knew it was embarrassing. And he

said, What are we going to do for next year? And he said, Hey,

we're going to have all the players select their one word

for the year, which they did every year. And then he said,

Hey, let's, let's create a team word that will keep us together.

And they all weighed in on this, and they chose the word family

and and he, you know, you could see their their shirts, they had

their warm up jerseys. Had had family across the front. And it

really reminded them that, you know, listen, families go

through hard times. And how do families respond to hard times?

Well, they come together, they root for each other. They

believe the best in each other. And then that season, 2018, you

know that again, best team in the country playing the 16th

seed in their bracket. This time they win. But not only do they

win that game, but they win the entire tournament. And I think

that shows the power of focus that creates unity.

Unity. Were they playing in the final?

I don't even remember we do matter because

they want,

no, it doesn't matter. But I'm just curious,

because we do March Madness here. Oh yeah, yeah, we do, but,

but yeah. Great story. Great story. Did the how many of those

members of that team were, were coming, we're back in that year

like. How many they

had an event, I think the majority of their kids

were back. Okay, yeah, the majority of their kids were

back. And which was, you know, which was great because they had

lived through the disappointment of that season and then had

turned it around the next year, which is pretty cool.

Yeah, that's very cool story. Thank you for

sharing that. So I love the story about Coach Jim Johnson

realizing that he, or I think he was, you can tell me the story

of how you two reconnected, because it was after what, 40

years. 4030, years.

It's hard to admit how long it's been. Yes,

and I want to know what that moment meant to

you and what it says about the long term impact of

relationships. Yeah.

Well, Coach Johnson, he was my, my JV coach in high

school, okay? And then he was the assistant coach for our

varsity program when I, when I moved up so and we won a couple

championships during during that era, he, I remembered him early,

you know, for years and years as just one of the best coaches

that I had ever been around really cared about people.

Wasn't your typical yelling, scream coach, you know, he was

kind of a new, new style coach way back then, and we had not

kept in touch at all. I had followed the Greece Athena

program, which is where I went to school, and I had seen that

he had had some notoriety around playing the one of his one of

his players who had autism, Jay Mac, Jay Mac. It's a very famous

story, and I'm sure you mentioned this 20 years ago this

year, yeah, which is amazing. So I saw all of that, but we had

never reconnected. And just recently, over the last three,

four or five months, we reconnected. He he got in,

introduced to the one word book, and then the person that

introduced him to that connected him with my co author, Dan, and

then, and then Jim was like, Wait a minute. He saw the book

with Jimmy Page on. He goes, that's, is that the same guy. So

then he reached out to me. We got reconnected, and then,

honestly, it's been the highlight of it was definitely

one of the highlights of 2025 was reconnecting with a coach

after, after, really, 40 years.

Yeah, isn't that lovely? That's so cool. So can I

share a little story I'd like to on that same note, my daughter

was going to Brazil on business to Sao. Paulo, however you say

it, Paulo. And she said to us, do we know anybody there? And I

said, I don't know. I think we do. I think a player that Vern

used my dad, your dad used to coach, lives there. Let me

check, and I looked on LinkedIn, and we were connected. And sure

enough, he's in Sao Paulo, and we connected him and my

daughter. And he then he said, Oh, have her call me when she

gets here, because she was coming on the weekend. She

didn't know anybody there before her meeting started, and he took

her to amazing restaurant for lunch. They had a, you know,

great picture taken so he could send it back to my husband. And

he also said, because he had come from Brazil for one year to

Canada in his grade 12 year, and he played basketball that year

for my husband, and it was amazing. It was one of his best

teams, and and, and he went to the school that my husband

taught at, and so that was just one year, but those memories

were so good for him that he wants his daughter, who's now in

grade 12, to come to the same place. He's a volley she's a

volleyball player. His son is a basketball player, but is

younger, but that experience meant so much to him that he

wants it to Yeah. So it was really cool and amazing, yeah.

And it kind of speaks to the long term impact of

relationships in your life, even though you don't see the person

or maybe not even talk to them, it's there as soon as it's

reconnected or rekindled, right? Which is so important, and I

love that. Okay? I know that you also talk about living in an

unstoppable life, and that's what you do in your coaching and

your leadership training. What role would you say that health

mindset and relationships play then in sustaining that kind of

unstoppable life. Well, I,

you know, it's interesting. You were talking

about generational connections, right? You're talking about year

over year relationships. And I do think just to tie, tie that

one point down, I think sport in particular. You know,

participation in sport, the relationship with a coach is so

unique. The relationship with your teammates is because you

know you suffer together. You have you have shared suffering

and shared success. And I think those are two ingredients,

truthfully, that really forge the best relationships,

regardless of whether it's in in team sports or. Whether it's in

your family, you know the things that bind you are when you can

go through hard things together, yeah, and emerge on the other

side of that, or you can celebrate successes together.

And you know, we have a saying in our family, like, hey, when

one page wins, we all win. We celebrate a lot. So somebody put

something in the group chat about success they've had. We

will, we will say, every time, hey, when one page wins, we all

win. We're celebrating, you know. And so I think there's

something really important about the relationships, if you have a

healthy mindset. And I talk a lot about mindset, right?

Because real life transformation starts in your in your mind, if

you you know, in fact, I believe that real transformation starts

in the renewing of the way you think. So if you don't get

control of your thinking, your thinking will control you.

There's no, no doubt about it, you have to take control of the

inner conversation that you have and make it serve you, rather

than than you being controlled by that narrative. What we've

learned is that 80% of of people's internal dialog is

negative. According to science, that's that's pretty bad news.

Person on your shoulder all the time. Yeah, yes, and it's almost

always negative, and 95% of the conversation is repetitive, so

you're essentially reinforcing negativity in your life over and

over and over again. It's very hard to have healthy

relationships if you don't fix your mindset, if you don't

really work on the way you think, because your natural

neurologically connected response is almost always

negative, complaining, blaming somebody else, making excuses.

So if you can go to work, you know you'll you'll make a big

difference.

Okay, so you go in front of groups of people and

you talk about that, or you work with people one on one and you

talk about that, but you can talk till you're blue in the

face. Something has to snap for them. It has to be, is it, is it

when they're at their lowest, or is it just, they're tired, you

know? They're just sick and tired of being sick and tired,

is it? Do you ever like, do you know? Do you notice when the

light goes on for someone and what's usually happening?

Yeah, I do exercises in in my workshops and keynotes,

so people can experience the power of their mind, the power

of focus. And so they they see it, they feel it right away, and

they laugh about it, because they're like, Wow, okay, I knew

that, but now I know it. And you know, if I ask people, Hey, how

many of you think that over half of your internal dialog is

positive, I want you to stand up. I will tell you most people

stand Yeah, okay. And then when I prove it to them that most of

their dialog is negative, they're like, Okay, I'm going to

listen to this guy, because they overestimate their own

positivity. But what we know is the people that are most

successful in life, that are most successful in

relationships, that that enjoy life, most are the ones that

actually work on their mental game as much as they do any

other aspect of their game. So if it's in business, you know,

we're all growing in some way, shape or form, right? We're

reading leadership books and we're working on that we also,

if we're in any kind of physical competition, will train our

bodies to be healthy. But very, very few people actually work on

rewiring their brain, right? And so when I take them through

exercises that actually will rewire their brain, and I show

them neurologically how it happens, like you can't help but

have light bulbs go on now whether or not you're going to

do the work, and by the way, I give them tools and exercises

that if they do them, I guarantee you their mindset and

their way of thinking will change over time, because

neurologically, they're rewiring their brain, and once they can,

if they can get a little momentum, do it for a week, do

it for two weeks, they see a little momentum, then they

become believers, pretty quickly.

So who do you generally work with?

Well, I work with companies, large and small. I

work with executive teams. I work with leadership teams. I

work with any sports related teams, of course, coaches and

athletes, but any any business of any side, so anything from

entrepreneurs to seasoned business vets. I, you know, if I

gave you my, you know, some people on my client list, you

go, I know them. Oh, I know them. You know, because I really

like to work with high performers, because they get it

and they will implement what you're telling them right away,

and they get better fast. You know, a lot of times, if you

have an underperforming group, people that chronically

underperform are generally, oh boy, they don't have the

toughness to. Stick it out. Yeah, yeah. And so you have, and

I'm not there to motivate him beyond that, but if you can

change the culture of the organization, then you've got a

real chance at transforming individual lives, for sure, and

the team. So you have to start at the top. No,

not

necessarily, okay, that's like, it's like any other

relationship, or any other leadership you know, you might

find yourself at the bottom of the ladder, so to speak, and and

you may find yourself even frustrated by the people that

you're reporting to. Maybe they're not great leaders. Maybe

they're they manipulate, or maybe they're passive

aggressive, whatever. But what we teach people at the bottom of

the ladder, so to speak, is you can lead up, and the best way to

lead up is to lead by example and to continue to bring your

very, very best, regardless of the leadership that's above you.

So you know, for me, you know I will never blame someone else

for my inability to become my best. They don't hold that

power. They don't

hold you know, what you've got to package that

like and, yeah, that's the thing right there. Because, yeah, I

know when I talk to people that long, I'm thinking of somebody

in particular that you want to help to get over that negativity

that's constant, and you can't do it for them. Yeah, it's very

frustrating, and you want to help, but you can't, yeah, you

know, except to model something different, I suppose, yeah.

And in that case, you know, like, part of it is

you can't help everybody, like you said, you know, I've been

around people that I've given them the tools, tried to hold

them accountable, and they just for one reason or another, self

sabotage, yeah, generally, people like that need to bottom

out before they can be resurrected, so to speak. Yeah,

that's true, and I don't spend a lot of time with people like

that anymore, because I want to spend 99.9% of my time with

people that are actually going to do things and become the type

of man or woman that they're made to be, because then you

have multiplication effect, you know, when people are actually

making forward progress? Yeah.

So I also noticed in your bio that you have been a

Spartan racer. Yeah? Tell me about that, because that takes a

lot of, a lot of a lot.

Yeah, it's, it's a great it's for those who aren't

familiar with it. Spartan racing is obstacle course racing

with a lot of mud. I think, no, oh yeah, oh

yeah, there's a lot of mud.

Yeah, the mud is the mud is more for the mental

fatigue than anything else. It is a physical barrier. But boy,

oh boy. So I would say that the you know, Spartan racing,

obstacle course racing, like that, is really designed for

mental toughness, physical toughness, and then I would say

relational community for sure. Okay, and so for me, it's a way

to continue to get outside of my comfort zone, to push far beyond

my limits, or the the limiting beliefs that I may have to

continue as I get older, to prove what I'm made of and what

I have inside of me to create tests that make me better. You

know, you can't forge steel without really hot fire. So I

like putting myself in environments that are really

super hard, challenging myself in that way, and then getting

other people to do it as well. Well, I think that

kind of speaks to you walking the walk, because

you're testing yourself and your limits, and as you try to teach

others to do the same, yeah, yeah. Do you have children?

Yes, yeah, yeah. I've got four kids. They're all

grown.

Yeah. And did they did? Did they would you say

they're a chip off the old block, or would you say that you

they're still works in progress?

Oh, man. I mean, they're each uniquely amazing in

in the way that they've been created, you know? So I would

say that if you if you ask people that know my kids, they

would say they would tell you exactly the qualities that they

got from me and from their mom, and we'd have a good laugh about

it, you know, I think for them, I'm really proud of each one of

them. They're four, three boys and a girl. Yeah, my daughter's

the baby. She's 23 okay? And my oldest son is 31 then 2926 so,

you know, they have, I think they've kind of, they've learned

that that they're made with a purpose, you know, we were a

family of faith, you know, we we raised our kids in a Christian

home. So we've got very, very deep, abiding faith. We believe

that God created them with incredible purpose, and part of

their life is to discover the unique ways that they're made,

and then do things that they're passionate about, that they love

doing. And if they can do that, they're going to live a life

that's rich and satisfying and meaningful. So I think each one

of them knows that, hey, you've got one shot at this. Make the

most of it, and along the way, you know, if you're if you're

honoring God, then you're probably going to. Hit the

target with people relationally as well.

Okay, I'll accept that you have grandkids.

Any grandkids? No grandkids, yeah. Well, that's

a whole different story I gotta tell you, and it's

the best for someone who's listening, who feels scattered

or pulled in too many directions. How would you

suggest they begin discovering their word. I'm going to go back

to the one word. How do they find a way to discover their one

word?

You know, that's the beauty of the process. So in the

book, we map out three steps. And the first step is to look in

right? And what we coach people to do is unplug from all the

noise in the business. Leave your phone behind. You know,

unplug. Find a quiet place, a contemplate a place. Go for a

run or walk, unplug from the chaos of life, and during that

time, contemplate a handful of questions, first starting with,

hey, what do I need most? You know, if there was one word that

would capture what I need most to be my best, what would it be,

what are some things that are in the way? What are some things

that probably need to go or need to get refined out of my life?

And then, once you start answering these questions, words

come to mind, you know, because you if you learn that, hey, what

I really need is x, you know, I need to be brave. I need more

courage. I need more peace or patience, whatever those things

are, words start to bubble to the surface in this process,

okay? And in then what we tell people is to journal them, you

know, write them down, put them on paper, let it sit for a

couple days. And then I think in that process, you're asking the

question, if there was one single word for the year that I

could focus on, they would have the greatest positive impact on

who I am as a person and the impact I can have on others.

What would it be and just unplugging long enough? Like,

the discipline of unplugging for people is very hard,

yeah, yes, it is very it's especially for people

like me who like to multitask.

Oh yeah, yeah. And multitask. You know, the

definition of multitasking is just the ability to screw up

more than one thing at the same time. Yeah?

And I believe there really isn't such a thing.

It's really sequential. So I know that. But yeah, that's

good. So okay, that makes me actually want to ask. So I

didn't pick a word this year, so it's not too late, is it?

No, absolutely not. I mean, you think about it,

you've got, what, nine or 10 more months left. So I think

that

process, I will do that. Yeah, absolutely yeah.

I like that. All right. Last question on this, if listeners

took one step today toward living with more purpose and

stronger relationships, what would you encourage them to do

that's great. One step, I think there's, there's

an old proverb that says, Consider other people as more

important than yourself considering their needs. And I

think relationally, when I can consider the needs of my spouse,

of my family as as really important, you know, because

honestly, Janice, I am, like most people, a desperately

selfish person left to my own devices, to be honest. You know,

I think about the things I need to do, what I want, all these,

all these things, when you can consider some other people in

your life as at least equally important to you, but I would

argue, even more important, then you walk with some humility. You

are always curious about what you can do to make their day.

You know? I mean, you know, I heard it said I watched a couple

on social media. I'm not a big fan of social media, but for a

number of reasons, but I think it can be helpful. And there was

this couple on they said, What's the secret? You seem so happy

how long you've been married? And they said, Oh, we've been

married for 40 years, and they were vibrantly healthy and happy

and obviously loved each other. And they said, you know, the man

said, hey, you know, I woke up in the morning thinking, what's

something I can do to make her day? And she said, I do the same

thing. I get up and I say, what's something I can do to

make my husband's day? And if they're both doing that, boy,

that results in an incredible relationship over time.

You know, not perfect rare birds, but, yeah, beautiful,

right? But you think

about it, Janice, it's a decision, right? Yes, they're

rare birds only because very few people choose to do it, but all

of us could choose to do that. How easy? How easy is that?

Yeah, exactly, yeah, very, yeah. That's very

cool. So thank you for those words of wisdom. Before we go, I

just want to ask a couple of quick questions. So one is, how

do you mostly get your information these days? Do you

read it? Do you do it off the internet? Do you listen to it?

Do you watch stuff? What's your favorite?

Well, I'm an avid reader, and I don't, I don't, I

read an actual book, right? So studies, studies will show you

that you don't remember anything that you read online, very

little. In fact, all, almost all, online learning is, I hate

to say it, but a waste of time. Most learning has to take place

in dimensional in. Attention. So your brain files information

according to tactile experience. So you have to have a physical

thing. So for me, I read books. You know, I'm reading several.

Part of thing is I read several books at the same time. Yes, I

do listen to podcasts, and I take notes from those podcasts

of really respected leaders in my life that really, that I know

are what I would consider ahead ahead of me, thought leaders

that you know, or people that communicate so clearly and so

simply that I can implement it and those things you know,

there's one guy in particular. His name is Craig Groeschel. He

has a leadership podcast. I think he's one of the world's

preeminent communicators. And I listen to his stuff all the

time, always great content. And then I read books from authors

who have lived lives that I that I admire.

Yeah, that's cool. There's so much out there

nowadays. I mean, it's, you're inundated, and you, you. I think

for me, I love books, but I don't read fast enough. I don't

read. I don't sit down and read. I've got to be doing two things

at once, or I'll fall asleep or something. But like, I don't

know, I watched something. I actually, I went downstairs

after working yesterday, and I had to go out for dinner. I had

to, I chose to go out for dinner. It was lovely, but I

wasn't feeling well, and I said to my husband, I just want to

watch something on TV so I can fall asleep for five minutes,

right? Which, that's what it does for me when I'm not, you

know, doing knitting or or doing a puzzle or doing something at

the same time. So it worked, but not for very long, but maybe

five minutes. But it just refreshed me. So that was good.

Yeah, so, but I'm also a curious person, and so I love to meet

new people. I love to talk to new people, and that's, I think,

where I'm getting my stimulation, as opposed to

trying to read a book that I'll fall asleep in the middle of.

But I do love books, and I will get the one word book, I'm

definitely going to deal with that the next of the while. So

thank you. Thank you for your insights, and thank you for
