A Gold Star Day

Yesterday, was a Gold Star Day, God!  Thank YOU!  When I went out for my morning jog the sky was filled with fluffy pink cotton ball clouds.  I was so excited that I got my camera and SPRINTED down to the end of the block so I could see more sky — our ridge blocks most of the early morning sun.  (And, yes, I FEEL the racing muscles reminding me they need more exercise!)

Then it was walk the rest of the way — taking photo after photo —
and just as I reached the turn around point — there was the sun
peeking over Koko Crater!

What a GLORIOUS DISPLAY!  THANK YOU!

Then after a trip to the Farmers Market with a huge fresh coconut to drink — it was home to work on developing a better structure for my life.

Actually, that went well too.  I found that there are LOTS of POSITIVE REINFORCERS in my life that I hadn’t noticed — hadn’t named. What a surprise!
So I listed them — then listed what I wanted to work on — and next created a task list where I worked for 15 minutes — then did a positive reinforcer for 10 minutes.  The work time was too short, but I wanted to practice SWITCHING back and forth — getting the feel of it. And the day went well!

So here I sit in an office that is tidy — and the PAPER ROOM, the room I took ALL my paper piles into — is almost done.  Well, the dregs are always the hardest part.  Dregs being stuff with no clear home — but not quite trash.  Hmmm.  Maybe I need to redefine trash?  Learn to let go?

But that is for ANOTHER DAY!  Today is a DAY OF REST.  A DAY OF RELAXATION. A DAY OF GOING SLOW. A DAY OF CONNECTING WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS. A DAY OF APPRECIATION. A DAY OF GRATITUDE.  And, now, God, as You suggest, I am going back to bed.
