You know those mornings when you open your eyes and you just know it’s a day that should just be spent sleeping? Those days when you realize before it has begun that it is not going to go your way AT ALL?
Well, that was this morning. Thankfully, at the time I am writing this, the day has seemingly turned around, thanks to a reset button called “Starbucks”.
Perhaps it is the biological step closer to menopause and raging hormones (and I don’t mean like a teenager!), but whatever it is, I knew this morning that if it weren’t for the fact that I had a full day of teaching ahead, I would have spent it under the covers pretending that the ‘real world’ didn’t exist.
It started with the fact that I should have gotten up to face the cold to do my meditation. I probably would have benefited from a quieter start rather than trying to avoid it altogether…. So, that upset 😠 me. Then, my very enthusiastic morning-person husband couldn’t keep from chit-chatting, which – if anyone knows me – annoys the f&*@k out of me! I am not what one would call a ‘morning-person’ in terms of friendliness towards others. In fact, I am never that kind of person! 😂 However, I do like to wake up early and enjoy the peace and QUIET 🤐that it offers.
As an aside, I often wonder if I even cried loudly as a newborn or if it was a whimper to let the doctors know that I was alive, but not interested in howling…? Or maybe I was a screamer???
Anyway, the morning went from bad to worse for me. Somehow, the distraction of teaching and a bit of time to myself has turned the day around. 👍🏽🙏🏽☀️ So, my zen has returned a bit as I prepare for my next class this evening. 🙂
Guess, I got a bit of a reset after all…?!
