Creating

Things I didn't do today:
1. Get up and jog
2. Go outside looking for a photo
3. Take a nap

Things I did today:
1. Made a new crock pot recipe
2. Had friends over
3. Made good progress on a design project

Even though I didn't have my camera with me, on one trip out of the house today I did notice beauty. Brilliant blue sky, luscious tropical green trees, and monks in bright orange robes. Beautiful combo. Funny, it's such an every-day occurrence here, it's easy to miss. I will capture it at some point and put it on this blog.

I woke up on and off in the night, and ended up sleeping past 7:30. By then it's almost too hot to exercise. In any case, I didn't have much time for extra-curricular activities today. I needed to get serious about a design project that should have been done 3 weeks ago. I made some real headway, though, so I feel good about that. Energized. Creating engages my whole being in a way that nothing else does. Making something beautiful, something orderly, something surprising. It revitalizes my soul in a way nothing else does.

Now it's almost 11 pm. Getting sleepy finally, but not like last night, when I went to bed before 9! My Mr. has come down with a cold, so he has been in bed over an hour now. He napped a lot during the day, too. Seems like he and the cat were on the same sleep schedule. Now they have both abandoned me again, snoozing away as I sit here typing. I think I'll go join them.
