Sunny and pleasant
Hello, hello! I’m back, and facing a mountain of email to get through.
Yesterday started well, with good sleep and good early morning yoga/meditation. We had smoked salmon Benedict for breakfast.
The day was quiet, and I just did whatever I wanted. Read a bit, wrote a bit, puttered around the house. It was too windy to spend much time at the lake, but it was nice to be out. I considered going to one of the museums, but instead, enjoyed reading on the porch. It was restful, not rushed. I received lots of birthday greetings and messages from those near and far, and that was much appreciated.
It’s been delightful to watch the neighborhood emerge from cabin fever on these few sunny, warm days. Everyone is letting their inner child out and just running around having fun.
Picked up dinner, enjoyed my cake, had a quiet evening. Nothing flashy for the day, just quiet and restorative.
Today, it’s back to reality. I have lots of email to do, some paperwork that came in for this and that, some writing, a book review to write and submit, some client material to go over, some LOIs to send out, preparing for tomorrow night’s meeting, and teaching tonight. It’s a good, steady workday. I’m still a little fuzzy from the time change, so I’m not pushing myself too hard, and prioritizing and re-prioritizing throughout the day.
There’s nothing exciting to share, but I enjoyed my day, and that’s what is important. I didn’t fall into the usual birthday blues I hit (feeling like I hadn’t made use of the previous year, and time’s running out). I didn’t rush around, trying to make the day worthwhile. I just enjoyed my day.
