a good day

I went to work early, as usual, this morning. I gave myself a good peptalk before beginning

and worked my best to 'pull my weight' with the work while appreciating a good dose of self belief.

Work went well. It's getting warmer here and so I sweated heavily at times while I worked - I don't usually

do that so it just was what it was.

My body really gets a good workout on the job - and the extra weight that I gained while on vacation

is coming off nicely. Life is good. I came home and on my drive home at times I was a little too tired

to stay focused but I regrouped and made it!! Got gas and lotto tix, my usual Thursday thing.

I was feeling so scrambled at the time while I was driving that my whole being started to feel paranoid

that it was somehow 'out of the ordinary' and I, in the moment, just decided to take my observations

from another journal post, that we all have feelings. They may not all be exactly the same - - but people do

get overwhelmed by scramble brains at times - just not in the same way. I felt a kind of liberty

from that thought. It felt good. I came home and made lunch.. cuddled with Blue first and then slowly

got into the daily routine after that. Watched a travel show then I showered and dressed. Cuddled with Blue some more

and then did my Thursday errand to the bank and came home. Things are good. 

I watched some of Ken Burn's documentary on "Benjamin Franklin" and talked to my Pop on the phone.

I guess in the solitude of my apartment after work at times I do want to relate to someone besides

Blue...I know I get all deep and thoughtful and yet I think this is a good place to work out those thoughts and feelings too...Awareness is important of what you're wanting and what you're doing...

so you can put on your thinking cap while your mind is working away or if it's wanting to work away.

I can get so caught up in the rythm of my body and whim - but the remedy for me now is this growing awareness to bring myself back to the commander's seat of 

my brain :). hehe.... I choose the structure I created to complete my work around the house or at the job perhaps both.

Routines are great. They kind of give a good dose of support!

So again, things are good. I am really glad to be able to write this today. 

I hope you guys are having a good day too.
