Lucky me! 

Today is the last day on the job for the gentleman I am replacing at my part time gig. It is scheduled to be a light day so I was given the day off. It was nice getting an extra 1 and a half of sleep and having some free time this morning.
So how am I doing on this How am I doin' Friday? I am doing great!.
I had some extra sleep, a good work out and got my shopping done all before noon today.
I has been a productive and positive week.
Lots of "new" to get used to.
While I was driving around this morning, I had a phone conversation with my daughter Becca. She mentioned that she had become aware of the fact that she tends to over indulge at our weekly Shabbat dinner.
You have no idea how awesome it was to hear that. We had a conversation around this,going over exactly what would be on the table tonight. More importantly it served notice to both of us to pay attention to what we are eating this evening.
As I have said many times in the past, Shabbat diner is my absolute favorite time of the week. I know I have a tendency to let my guard down and as well and end up eating more than I need or want to.
Just by having our chat, I am confident that eating will not be the same challenge today as it has been on most other Friday nights.
I am excited about this. As I said earlier, I've already had a good work out today. My body feels the residual effects of it. My mind is now in the right place surrounding food as well.
My mood is upbeat and my energy level is high.
That's a pretty awesome way to close the work week.
My desk was a bit of a mess when I sat down at it today. As I went about answering emails an taking care of some agenda items, I started throwing things away, filing things away and making small neat piles to sort through.
My desk actually looks fairly neat a this point.
When I finish writing, I will have a quick lunch and then set about clearing the rest of the mess and laying out my calendar for next week.
I feel really good about that!
You gotta love it when a plan comes together....even if you didn't realize you had one!
Shabbat Shalom!
