something is going on!

being rested is a magical thing. i have just finished my first set of days off since being on holidays and i am very pleased with how it went. i did not have a busy first week at work and did not really wear me out (health issues not withstanding) and therefore my days off were pretty good. i kept busy for the entire three days and not in a crazy got to get things done sort of way, just kept moving forward and i am rewarded with many completed tasks; getting katie ready for school, spending family time out to celebrate a birthday (happy birthday mom) and katie and i worked together yesterday and got some house work done. now, there are many things that still need to be accomplished ( and there always will be), but the way i feel right now, there is no doubt in my mind that it will all get done :)
fun story - this morning, red discovered that if he stood in just the right spot he could get a kiss each time i sat up, it was pretty cute. he wagged his tail the whole time, i'm sure that he thought my sole purpose was to play with him.
so the next time you are wondering why do we do the same thing over and over again, what is this incremental progress all about, have a look at your everyday habits and see if there is a difference. in the olden days (before i ho chuan) i would have looked at my list of things to do and been completely overwhelmed by it. now, i just do one thing at a time and then move on to the next. another funny thing, on my day off, i just didn't have the get up and go that i had on the other days, hmmmm.....there just might be something to this madness

Rested up myself finally. With the girls at a beautiful little guest house in Chaing Mai Up early because I am taking a Thai cooking course today and I'm excited about it. Hope your weeks continue with that type of serenity
