Well played, Universe.

Man oh man.  The Universes loves to TEST a new resolve.

Happy thoughts, happy day.

But can you sustain it with a tire blow out, dog puking, no car for the day and phone hassles all day long?!?

Sort of.  I did fairly well.  I stayed in the "zone" until evening and then dog stuff got the best of me and I had a moment of "despair" and then reminded myself of my happy thoughts which sent me into a fit of "whatever - this is stupid anyway."  After all that, a temper tantrum, a few breaths, I got HAPPY back ... sort of (i.e. I went to bed and read more of my FANTASTIC book which got me totally distracted and DYING to know the ending).

This is another extra early morning.  I need my eldest to take me to get my car before he goes to work.  They called to say the car was ready 20 minutes before they closed last night.  That was helpful.  Something has to drop off my morning routine today so I can get ready.  Given my day yesterday, I think I'm heading to the treadmill for a stress-free quick workout and a short dog walk to follow.  I'll take them for a longer one tonight.

I need to focus on some good stuff today.  I think a Starbucks is in my future (it's been too long, my friend), eyebrows because good lordy they are fluffy and I'm going to select a learning class that my friend gifted me (more on that once I know more).  Cleaning crew this afternoon.  Love-hate day with that ... yes, I'm very fortunate to have someone clean, but having to stick around and control dogs for the afternoon is a pain-in-the-butt.  I hear what I sound like - I'm aware.  And, yes, not my happy thoughts (see, I caught it) so now I'm focusing on the happy of it.  Take that, Universe!

Meditation Day 3.  Two minutes is a good amount of time for me (meditation wimp), but the trick is REMEMBERING to do it!  I laughed yesterday because I read that if you are interesting in starting meditation - start easy - 20-30 minutes/day.  Ha!!  Wonder what they would think of 2 minutes LOL?

On that note, I better go and MEDITATE and get this morning going.  Later gators.
