From KT – Sept. 7, 2016
Yo DaVita !!
It is 11 pm in Washington DC. My day started at 5:30, a little earlier than usual because of an early meeting. I did 25 minutes of cardio and about 5 sets of PT, then had to run.
At 8 am I was presenting on the subject of Open Primaries with about 50 civic leaders of Colorado. It went well, and was exciting to do, I intensely believe in this cause.
That meeting ended early so I stopped to see my mommy on my way to the airport. I had not seen her for 8 days, that is a lot for us. She was in bed, she is 88 and has a lot of issues. I sat on the side of the bed and we held hands and talked and joked. She wanted to see how much I could move my arms now, and joked that she is more mobile than I am.
Off to the airport I went. As usual I did calls the entire drive, same as on my way to the morning event, same as on the drive to my mom’s nursing home. Also as usual I got great work done on the 3 hour flight. 90 minutes of email and paperwork, 75 minutes of working with a fellow DaVitan. 15 minutes of eating and talking.
Off the plane and into a car, conference calls for the drive into a 5:45 meeting with Senator Bennet of Colorado. We had a productive hour together, and then I was off to dinner with Senator Cory Gardner of Colorado. That went until 9:15. I went to my hotel, checked in, did 5 more sets of PT and then had a call with my wife and daughter. I did a bit of email, and now will read the paper and do a little more PT, and some meditation. Will let you know how much tomorrow!
I hope everyone else had a productive and fulfilling day. Thanks for your good work! So many of you are wonderful!

How do you do so many calls from the road? Are you driving? This morning I took 2 calls on my way into the office and I feel like I can’t concentrate so much on call or driving! 🙂 I like to listen to motivational podcasts or books on my commute. I can leave home all grouchy and tired, and after listening to some good speaker, I’m often energized when I arrive at work. Not exactly meditation, but some time to reflect! Thanks for being willing to share your days!

SOMETIMES I AM DRIVING, SOMETIMES I HAVE A DRIVER WHEN I HAVE TO BE LOOKING AT A PRESENTATION. THIS ALLOWS ME TO LIVE OUR VALUE OF SERVICE EXCELLENCE BY OFFERING SOME MORE MEETING SLOTS. ALSO WHEN I AM DRIVING IT IS TYPICALLY ON THE SAME ROADS, AND I DRIVE SLOWLY AND CONSERVATIVELY. CIAO!

I love reading your blogs. When I think my life is busy I can look at yours and realize my life isn’t that busy. I have been trying to change my lifestyle with the match the mayor. I find quite time for meditation, I do cardiovascular exercises but changing my diet is tough. I gave up soda pop, cut down on the portions of food every meal but struggle with cake and apple pie. I need to visit my mother. Thanks KT for your open thoughts that have inspired me to better myself.
