I was reading my friend Rob's
blog today, and he's been braving the streets of Dallas on his bike, doing his part, cut back on gas and help the environment. I was telling him I've been riding my bike a lot lately too--but it's different in a town of 12,000! It's also different when you're riding a bike with gears, and a vintage Hollywood Schwinn, which mine is! It's hell on the hills here--that's on me, not the hills themselves! I've been riding it to the Y some though, which is nice, because I can cut back on the warm-up and cool-down time! With the great weather we've had this summer though, I don't mind using it to get around, or just for a Sunday bike ride along the creek.
Anyway, had a pretty productive day today. Started out with breakfast for guests--a great couple from Kansas City. We got into an amazing discussion about politics and spirituality, and we were completely on the same page about both! The woman even invited me to come stay with them sometime, and I just might do it, because they were great to talk to! I can't believe some of the amazing people that have walked in my front door lately. And more to come, this I know. For now, I am just where I need to be. When guests are here, the truth of this is so obvious to me... Just wish I had more of them right now!
Back to the day though, after they left I hit the Y, came home and worked on their room a bit, then settled down at the computer for some editing work, trying to catch up on stuff, which I am, slowly. I was supposed to go to a Reiki group in Columbia tonight, but I decided not to as the weather's a bit 'iffy' and quite frankly, I'm feeling tired for some reason and just want to veg out. I have guests again tomorrow, and a fairly busy weekend, so I need a good night's sleep.
I am feeling a lot better this week than I have in a long while. I think I am finally getting that I don't have to let negative thoughts control my life. It's weird, turning away from them. It's not really hard, just not something I've had much practice at doing. But guess what, it works. I'm being productive, I'm happy, and life is looking brighter. Wow!
So, that pretty much sums up my day. I'll probably wrap it up with dinner and a good movie.
