Peace and Quiet

It's still just me (and the dog) this morning. Youngest will be home later today.  I LOVE a quiet morning.  I'm sitting with my new tea flavor (peach, ginger, green) and my coffee with not a rush in the world.  A rain shower just passed so it's overcast and cozy.  This is how I would paint a really good morning.

I finished the book last night (The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k -- Manson).  It was average, but there were some good repeats of ideas.  Appreciate pain as it will give you the most growth ... stuff like that.

The part that was a home run for me (timely message) was the chapter called Do Something.  "Don't just sit there. Do something.  The answers will follow." -- Mark Manson.  If you're stuck trying to figure out the "what" and "how," action will help you find the answers.  You don't need the answers to take action, you need action to find the answers.  I wrote about this yesterday (and I didn't plagiarize lol - I read it last night).  Standing still won't get me anywhere. Okay -- thanks Universe and thanks Mark Manson -- got the message.

New book tonight.  I downloaded a couple -- fiction is up next -- yea!

Also, another new recipe today.  Crockpot flank steak with tons of flavors.  And, again, that hash was surprisingly good.  Lunch for today - now I wish there was even more leftover.

I continue to feel more my healthy-self.  I'm still mad peeing at night (probably one more night of it) - but I woke up less puffy in the face.  Rest day for workout.  I'm tired and sore - both good feelings.  I have a stretch of 3 hard workout days coming, so rest wins today.  I might do a treadmill walk just to stretch out.

My INTENTION today is GRATEFUL.  That feels right for today.

Pictures that remind me to be GRATEFUL and make me smile.
