I sent the kids off to spend the day with their mom on her birthday and gave them the funds to have a nice breakfast and afternoon. Tommy put a lot of effort into the card and hopefully into the day. I spent the majority of the day just sitting on the patio with Jennifer and enjoying doing little projects including kicking this blog off. I wrestled with some header choices but settled on the BIC pen. The podcast last week talked about taking one day a week to just do nothing or do things for yourself and this is what that felt like. It was a nice break, as was dinner with Cheryl and Jon and watching South Park as an exception to my intention of being mindful about content. That being said, the social commentary of the episode was poignant, how school shooting are becoming common enough that people don't react how they should.
I need to say no more often about expenses or dietary choices. It's easy to go with the impulse to eat ice cream and cookies and then I end up feeling awful afterward. Physically and emotionally as far as my discipline goes. I need to pick what I want to be my intent and stick with it.
I am looking forward to resuming my meditation and walking and mindfulness routine for the week. I'm looking forward to going headfirst into the work week with a zeal for being productive.
