Mindset: relatively optimistic. Jennifer is off to Minnesota, and I have a morning full of commitments followed by a stretch of freedom and flexibility beyond the obligations of ensuring that the dogs' needs are met.
Goals: Every day, I take the time to try to set goals that I end up not accomplishing. So what should my goal that I don't accomplish today be? Maybe keeping it simple can itself be a goal? Let's see if I can keep my day simple. That's a 'try me' shout-out to the universe.
Anticipation: Lauren said Tommy wanted to go to Los Gatos Café this morning. As I told Tommy in the past, if you say, you pay. So I'm anticipating going to a complimentary breakfast :-). We'll see how that goes. Maybe Lauren will pick up lunch later, too. The more they do, the longer it'll be before I lean on them for financial support.
Gratitudes: I'm grateful to be as mobile as I am. My neck issues have been problematic, and my sleep has been troubled because of it. I'm literally reconsidering the option of going for the surgery after all, but it's a mixed bag. In any event, I'm also grateful that I can get up and just go for a walk, which is what I'm doing right now. I'm grateful for how it looks to see the outline of the sun breaking through the clouds. It's so obscured that almost looks like a moon. White and full, but shadowed by a density of clouds and mist that makes it something I can stare at without squinting.
