Today I spent the day on my own and just focused on getting a few things done. I have to say it was a rather enjoyable day given that most of my day was made up of chores and homework. I tried to bring a little bit of light and enjoyment to each task I did today.
First when I woke, I decided I was in no rush to get out of bed. So I was slow to rise and enjoyed the lazy moments of the day. Once up I squeezed in a 90 minute workout (I must keep pushing forward to prepare for Tough Mudder!) And then I made myself breakfast. But instead of eating my breadfast while beginning my readings, I chose to watch some TV with lunch. What a treat. It’s been awhile since I watched TV!
And then I dove into my homework. While it was only 13 degrees outside, it was very bright and sunny so I decided to go outside and sit and read outside. (The key, layers, and a blanket too!) And though the breeze was quite chilly it was beautiful to be sitting outside in the sun for a couple of hours. Once the shade came around, it was too cold to sit outside. So I came inside, opened the blinds and a couple of windows and finished my readings in the bright, cool living room. (Not quite the same sitting outside but it was sunny and pretty nonetheless.)
Just before dinner I had a surprise phone call with a friend of mine. We talked for nearly an hour about things. It was nice to catch up and to discuss the woes of life. I love those moments and it was a great break from my readings.
And then, I had an opportunity to get out for a drink with another friend. I figured why not? And so I met up for a drink for a couple of hours. What a great way to finish up the day.
So today’s moment is about loving moments the day. It was a day that wasn’t very exciting, but it was good and calm and kind to me. This I appreciate.
Moments getting “stuff” done.
Moments just going with the flow of the day.
