beautiful morning

I woke this morning to the urgings of a hungry cat

and so I got up and fed him, went back to sleep and

then got up at 430a to go to the coffee shop.

I drove there, and sat in my car for about 15 minutes

listening to the radio and surfing my Iphone, waiting

for the shop to open at 5am.

I came home with my coffee and turned on the tv.

The 2 Christian shows that are on before CBS Sunday morning

are sometimes a source of focus.

Today they were talking about goals... The shows, "Dr. Stanley" or something

and then "Joel Osteen" were on.

Both of them talked about how having goals and then being discouraged if

they were not turning out as one would have hoped... It made sense to think

about things in those terms... Well, "Dr. Stanley" talked about 'hearing god's answer'

and listening about certain things and that inspired in me the attitude of tenaciousness 

and then Joel Osteen directly talked about goals... and not being discouraged if it

wasn't a perfect process and result...

Keep moving forward with an eye on the prize...I took from it..

And in the face of an early morning 'high mood' - I felt discouraged

and panicked at my own lack of boundary and so I decided to 

do something with a physical - objective end product - in this case

I took out the recycling. Little things that encourage me to keep

a sense of my own positivity creates comfort.

CBS Sunday Morning then came on, and for some reason I don't

have the patience for it...

I'm thinking about goals but don't really have one - 

I'll shave and shower.

What's the over riding goal? Just to get on with the day....

Some people have a different set of goals - perhaps some

more macro sense of goal. I do have some goals for the next

year - perhaps though I can start to develop professional

as well as life goals for myself.

Sending peace and good vibes!
