I must be getting old. Our day was all planned out today, and them something got changed and I was "ticked off". It wasn't even anything major, but it was a change. So I pulled out my "Shift Changers" and then I went wait - I want to feel this feeling for a minute (not sure why I enjoyed it) I thought through why I was annoyed (down graded from ticked). I had every right to feel like this - NOT - this change didn't just involve me so really I must have just been bothered (down graded from annoyed) because I didn't have control. I wanted it done my way and I had no alternative plan. Result - I just stayed in bed longer and redid my day!!! So instead of going from "ticked" to just fine, I went the detour route through annoyed and bothered - took a little more energy but I think the journey was worth it.
K, another reason I must be getting old - I watched some golf on TV. Not that I found it entertaining or riveting, but it was the LPGA and I thought it was so cool that I could recognize the course and some of the holes they were playing. Does that make me a golf nerd? Hope not! The difference in watching it on tv and being there, I could giggle and talk! (It was to myself, but dammit, it's the principal)
BODY: It's 9:00 pm and I've only gotten in 7000 steps so I'm hoping to walk around picking up this and that and gathering a few more steps. I did get a lot accomplished today; cleaning kids rooms; changing burnt out lightbulbs; emptying dishwashers and garbage cans, so I like to think I got a bit of bending and muscle workout.
MIND: I decluttered my office desk today - thus decluttered my mind. While doing so, I managed to have some nice conversations with friends.(via Facebook) First there was Linda who brought me up to date on the details of the soccer tournament in Langley. I thought my son might have kept me posted, but I'm pretty sure he's busy catching up on homework!!!!! Then I had a nice long chat with Grace. And surprise, surprise, we actually set a date to get together. We always say we will but we both took the bull by the horns and did it. It's a couple of weeks away, but I am so looking forward to it. I realize I've know Grace for more that 25 years. Thank goodness for internet - or who knows where and when we'd meet up with friends. So thank you ladies for some enjoyable chats, whilst I was straightening up my office. You'll both be included on my list tonight.
Night
Stacey
