The Divine Trinity!
After last night's workout, it did not take me long to retire for the evening. As exhausted as I was,there seemed to be a shift in my attitude. As my head hit the pillow and I settled in under the blankets, I felt like I was done. It was the end of whatever and I was ready to move on. I left every bit of me on the gym floor and had nothing else to give.I also felt like that was okay. I knew I would wake up in the morning, get to the gym again and start the day with a clean slate and plenty of hours to get things done.Today is the first day in weeks that I awoke with a sense that I had the opportunity to have a productive day.Unless I have missed something, there is no running around from place to place or from one agenda item to another. I have a number of things to accomplish and a clear plan as to when I can address each item.It is 8:24 in the morning and I have already taken care of my first list of 3,including writing to you. My writing over the last few days and weeks has come when I can squeeze it in. Today, is different. Today I have taken care of round 1 chores and have a quiet moment to have a cup of coffee, reflect a little and visit with you.
The house also seems like it is void of tension.No one is griping or grousing or barking or snarling.I know personally, I showed up without any of that baggage and I think it is contagious.
It's a bright sunny day....not outside, inside! Outside is actually kind of grey and nondescript.That doesn't seem to matter. I am calm collected and comfortable and that makes all the difference in the world to me.
It's 8:39. Dinner is prepared for tonight. Everyone is up and out of the house,or soon to be.I have already responded to 60 or 70 text messages. My in box has been vetted from the night before and I am prepared for my next list of 3.
I have a bunch of stuff to take care of today. My day will not end until late, sometime after 8 p.m.
Yet somehow there is no stress. There seems to be time to get everything done. I will just make my lists and take care of each of the 3 items on it.
What a difference a day makes!
