We were all up too late last night, for varied reasons, so the house still sleeps here at 7:30am. That's wonderful for me, so now I can have some quiet time. Not that sleeping wasn't quiet, but you get my drift. The house is comfortable as well.
The heat is already lurking, though---we'll hit around 100+ again today, but not yet. I could feel it when I let out the dogs. I'll tell you, it seems like I live in a wind tunnel lately. Gary bought one of those box fans from the drugstore the other day, and it's so loud that when it's running and the other fans are going (yes, along with the central air conditioning), man, it makes me feel slightly crazy.
Whiner. ;)
Now, as to that idea of thinking of one fun thing to do each day...well, it's tougher than I first expected. My mindset is well-understood by my family as well, which was funny the other day. The least one said to me, "Hey Mom, are you excited about---I mean, are you looking forward to wearing your new dance shoes to class?" Note how she changed from excited to looking forward to. Smart girl. They know that I don't whoop and holler, but still, I had to laugh at her quick change from one comment to another. And to answer the question---yes, I am.
The thing is, about that fun stuff, what's going on is I'm tweaking my attitude. I'm going slower and taking better care of my heart (the emotional one, not so much the physical one). Not taking on more baggage than necessary, and as a result, don't feel so wound up.
So, the fun stuff will follow. For now, I'm trying to get in a mindset to make it happen.
Savvy?
