Thought for the day

And here it is...a new week is beginning.  I am feeling the need to change my morning routine, but I just do not exactly know how yet.  I had thought about exercising first thing when I wake up.  It's ideal to hop out of bed and go for a walk or ride the exercise bike or hit the heavy bag out in the garage.  Well, at least I thought about it....that's something, right?  Then I thought why not get up and cook breakfast each day for us?  I love breakfast food and can eat it any time of the day, so why not actually eat it when breakfast is supposed to be served?  It's a possibility, definitely, but I didn't do that today either.  This is one of those days when the weather does indeed affect my motivation.  It's gray and overcast this morning.  We're expecting thunderstorms as well.  I actually do love days like this, but they do little for making me want to actually do anything productive.  Oh well.

Once I begin getting myself on a normal work schedule...or at least a consistent work schedule...I can incorporate some new things into my daily life.  Now, there's nothing wrong with my morning routine...coffee, crossword, email, internet, feed the cat....I just want to switch that up a bit.  Maybe not every day, but at least one day a week do things differently.  I also want to put some creativity back into my daily life.  I am finding myself truly missing creative arts in my life.  Yes, I watch stuff on YouTube...theatre stuff mostly...but it's not the same as doing something creative in real time.  And I'm not talking about anything major, I just need to take time each day to be creatively engaged in one way or another.  That could be anything from playing the piano (I'm so out of practice) to sitting down with a coloring book for 20 minutes.  Somewhere out in the garage, I have blank coloring books from my childhood that I need to fill in!! I just want something to make me feel connected to creativity again.  I can do that.

Anyway, that's my thought this morning.  I will ponder the things that I want to do in order to switch life up occasionally.  Until then, it's time for more coffee and another crossword.

Cheers
