I very much enjoyed today. It was a beautiful Sunday, although it started out colder than I was prepared for, 

so I chose to do my run inside in the treadmill.

I listened to freakonomics, a podcast I just found last week, and found myself motivated to become amazing at something, anything really, as I have many areas I could stand to improve in.

The podcast was on the theory of 10,000 hours to become great at something- 

whether music or whatever- 

and I found myself wondering if I had that kind of dedication, what could I accomplish?

Then I realized I’ve put that and more into my current activities and was a little bummed, 

as at most I could be considered proficient. Nice, but hardly record book material.

Managing to brush off this horrible blow, I came inside and spent the morning with my kidlets. 

They didn’t care that I’m not amazing at one specific thing, 

as I can make a mean peanut butter and Nutella waffle sandwich.

So there.

And then I had the chance to pamper myself.

After doing some household tidying and throwing supper in a crockpot, I went to Starbucks without a clear agenda. 

I had a peaceful breakfast alone, without deadlines or paperwork to accomplish.

And the joy of this was even though I didn’t have anything I needed to do,

I got done a whole bunch of stuff that will make my week that much easier.

A good supper, good company wth friends, and slide shows of beauty, with a night cap before bed.

Mmm. 

Sunday this week is a day of mental rest,

which was much appreciated.

Oh yeah, ever notice how much cats like sleeping on clean laundry? Yeah, me neither.
