this morning

So I’m stuck getting onto I-90 this morning, after my old alarm woke itself up from the dead at 5:16am. (which beeped like bloody hell until I unearthed it from underneath my crappy old dresser, buried under books I haven’t yet read and motivational notes-to-self and all sorts of nighttime aromatherapy lotions — yes, I need to purge my home of unnecessary crap. Already on the to-do list)

So, when I unplugged everything trying to get that damn alarm to shut up, I inadvertently yanked out the plug to my current alarm. Which, then in turn, didn’t go off this morning at 7am.

I rush myself to get out the door on time and then traffic… it’s just the case-in-point scenario for why I ALWAYS feel behind in life. And tired.

So, on a POSITIVE note, my friend Morg reminded me that today is another 24hr opportunity to remember all the blessings in life. To make the most of what my HP (higher-power) has given me. And… one of those lovely blessings is the chance to play outside in the sun after work!

I’m beginning play on a beach volleyball team — joining them for the first time on the court this evening. YIKES! Nothing but fear is in my way (and lack of practice in the 10 years since I’ve played competitively) It should be good for both body + soul.
