Well, after two weeks of extreme busyness, and then almost 2 weeks of not feeling well, I finally feel like myself again.

I woke up this morning, feeling rested and really clear minded and determined to have a really really satisfying day.

And calling it a satisfying day is very different than calling it a good day. A satisfying day is a good day. It’s one type of good day but the focus is different. I’m not trying to make it be good. That’s not the end in itself. What I’m aiming for is to have a sense of satisfaction with the things that I did and the way I spent my time.

It doesn’t have to be all fun. And it definitely won’t be all work. It will be somewhere in between a good balance between the two and I will have finished a few tasks that feel like they’re hanging over me.It’s kind of odd the way that some tasks hang over me even if I can’t get them done and others just wait until I get back to them. There doesn’t seem to be a real pattern in which ones hang and which ones don’t.

It’s not that tasks for other people or tasks that people are waiting on are automatically ones that hang.

And it’s not necessarily the tasks that feel most important that hang over me.

Instead, there is some other quality of those tasks that makes hang above me.

And it strikes me as I’m writing this that it would probably be beneficial to figure out what that quality is. ?

Can you guess why I couldn’t do downward dog last night?

Because resting dog was in the way.

I wasn’t feeling well yesterday evening and I ended up spending most of last night awake.

Today, I did a few tasks but I mostly concentrated on resting.

I’m giving myself a gold star for my efforts to keep things low key.

It takes a surprising amount of effort to keep myself resting.

I am determined not to let Fall rush by.

I am committed to noticing the changes each day.

The darkness in the morning, the earlier sunset, the changes in the colours of my daily walk.

I’m grateful for it all.
