So I wake up from one of my many
naps today and manage to run into my longtime friend, Jamie, and we start
talking and just having a good time. We’re still chatting as I am starting this
post out so it might be a while before I finish the post, but no big deal.
Sometimes you just need to run into an old friend to get the day off to that
right start. It just puts the day into an upbeat tempo right from the start. Even
if after the chat you end up taking a nap, it still sets the tempo of the day
to be upbeat.
Much like the mail did for me the
other day, when I got my first issue of National
Geographic History magazine. Getting that magazine in the mail perked my
day right up. I’m hoping to be getting my first two issues of National Geographic Magazine for the
year in the mail soon. I don’t think we ever get tired of receiving stuff in
the mail. It is just the type of stuff we get sick of receiving. After all, no
one really likes bills or junk mail much when they are going through the mail.
Well except catalogues, for some reason most of us like looking at them.
And then as I am writing this now my
friend, Laura, messaged me and we started talking. And so the post might get up
late. But for the first time in a couple of years I am daring to trust again.
Letting someone else see how vulnerable I can be. And that doesn’t come easy.
But I’m finding when I trust my gut on it that it is worth it. But sometimes it
is hard especially having been down the roads I have been down.
Though today has been a good day
overall with me feeling like I have actually gotten something done besides this
post. After all, I got to have two long discussions with old friends. And I got
my calendar in order for at least this next week and hopefully next term. I got
caught up on the news and did some other reading. Posted questions in one of my
book clubs and voted on the next book in another one.
I know it doesn’t sound like much to
some. But since I started down the path to quit smoking it is the first time I
have felt like I accomplished something in a long time. I know I have accomplished
things before now, but I just haven’t felt like I did before now. Weird I know
but then again I am weird and not ashamed to admit it. I
mean there are not many other guys that I know who like Brussel Sprouts, with
or without butter. Personally I prefer them with a nice butter sauce, sweetens
them up that way.
But it has also been a good day
getting to kick back and relax a bit and talk to old friends at the same time
as getting something done. Sure this post is a bit late in getting up. But I
wouldn’t trade it getting up on time for what I went through today. Plus, I’m
looking into a way to let more sunlight into my place without being snooped on.
It’s a special kind of shade that blocks out people looking in below, while at
the same time letting in sunlight from above.
Tim found it for me the other day
while surfing the internet. I think it’s pretty cool, and that it’s just what I
need. But it is getting late so like always feel free to leave questions and
comments below. And if you want my posts to show up in your inbox enter your

got some reading to catch up on. *Tips his hat and walks out the door towards
the library. *
