Monday - not so Manic!

Simply amazing.... I made it through the night without being so awake that I needed to hop on the computer.  Sheer exhaustion, perhaps, but a bonus in my book any day.  I'll admit that I was awake around 3am ... if I was awake any other time between 10 and 3, I'm oblivious to the fact, and like to keep it that way!

I'd love to say that I did something wonderful today, or something out of the ordinary.... but it was a work day.  I can say, however, that even though there was a lot to be done, I moved through it quickly, and with a smile on my face.  It must have been ...  hmm, noticeable?  Because I didn't sit alone at lunch, and even had a little playful banter with a few fellow employees.  Considering my mindset the past two weeks, well, this was definitely a good sign :)

Can I tell you a secret?  There's a handsome man who goes to my gym; I've overheard him talking about his kids and such, so I always assumed he was married.  Still do.  We crossed paths today, I was heading in to the gym, he was heading out, and he said hello.  Mind you, I'm not putting any meaning into it at all, but  ... was it a lighter step?  a smile on my face? or just common politeness?   Ahhh. Anyways, it makes a gal feel good no matter what the intention, right?!

  ..... a zen philosophy when you think about it,
the events of yesterday lead to the successes or failures of today .....

Speaking of feeling good....

sun set among the clouds.
