Second Day of Social Media Disconnect

A new King has been born! Funny, I remember when William was born and now he has a child of his own. I am a lover of history, which includes European history and that covers anything royal. Especially, I love when royalty ran countries and were not just a figure head. Nonetheless, royal life is interesting since it is so different than our life.

I made most of my goals yesterday. I did not get the break I wanted at work, however, I worked an eight hour day. That in of itself is an achievement considering it was a Monday. Mondays can be especially difficult. After work I went bike riding and swimming. Swimming after riding was cool and relaxing until it started to rain. I remained in the pool as it rained until the thunder came rolling in. I found myself reading not playing games last night. Yes. I remain off FB. At one point, I wondered what else could I do? I continued to read and completed several chapters of my book.

Yesterday on my drive home from work, I passed the horses and noticed the two new foals are growing up fast. The horses still attract many people who stop along the road to pet and feed them.

Birds are chirping. Time for a second cup of coffee and meditation before I begin my work day.

New Begininngs

It is a new day. It is a new beginning. I got up before dawn this morning, made my coffee and took a cup out onto the balcony, sat and watched the sun rise. I heard the birds. I felt the breeze upon my face and I thought today is going to be a new beginning. I am going to take a break at work instead of working through lunch. I am going to try and work an eight hour day instead of staying until every single thing is completed. I am going to the gym and maybe the pool. I closed down FB last night because I was playing too many games, reading status quotes and realized I am reading less books, writing less, relaxing less and I am too tuned into social media.

Nothing changes until something changes.

I need less racing thoughts, more rest, sleep and some sort of balance in my life. I have to stop looking for it on the outside and start looking for it on the inside. All the things I know. All the things I have not done. I read this morning the Duchess is in labor. It looks as if she will have her baby today, my son's 30th birthday.

Happy Birthday Joe!
