Tonight has to be a short blog. It's almost bedtime which sure comes earlier since I started working. This old brain needs more sleep to work than it used to. (Emphasis on the old part) But the last two days have been good at work. We've finally figured otu what we're doing. Of course, the new system is still due to come online Monday morning, so next week will bring new challenges. But I'm enjoying what I do.
Yesterday was a beautiful spring day even in Evanston. It got slow at work, no calls, and they had to send people home early. I got asked about it, and I choose to go home. I went home, changed clothes and headed to the park with a book, my mp3 player and my soda. It was beautiful. The grass is turning green, the wind wasn't too cold. So I laid there and enjoyed the smell of the grass. Eventually the wind got too cold, so I moved to the car with the windows down. Most of the time I didn't even read, just sit there and thought about my life. It's good right now. I'm happy with myself and my life.
That showed me that I need more 'me' time. I've always had a hard time being alone with the silence and just my thoughts. So I'm going to end with the thought on my daily calendar: When you think about a problem over and over in your mind, that's called worry. When you think about God's word over and over in your mind, that's meditation. If you know how to worry, you already know how to meditate!
