If it not be now yet it will come

Today I worked at the gym in the morning, and before I woke up I felt rested and ready to start the day. I had a dream where I was talking with Wayne Gretsky...except I can't remember what he was telling me.

Went to get my usual espresso fix before work and psych myself up for a good day. Sometimes that involves reading the free Metro paper, or if I'm lucky enough to snag a 'real' paper, I'll do that. Nothing to read on Sundays, so today I pulled up my notebook and start to read through some energizing text I had written down from before, and then added to it. I started with some quotes from Richard Monette's book, "This Rough Magic". I picked out some stuff while I was reading that really struck a chord with me.

theme - The courage to change one's mind.

p.150 Hamlet becomes the changed man. If it not be now yet it will come: the readiness is all.

p. 177 And I share his love for the wounded

Then I started to just jot down thoughts, concepts, ideas, dreams...there are no rules to it.

After work I was pretty drained, so didn't work out. Came home and the roomie was napping, so went back out again and purchased Laird Hamilton's book "Forces of Nature". I had already read a fair bit of it while in Chapters the other day. I adore his outlook on life, his philosophy about eating well, living healthy and working out and basically living for your dreams. Came home and the roomie was out, so cleaned the bathroom and got some food prep done for tomorrow. Now I feel energized to work out, but it's Sunday, so the gym closes at 6pm, which is in about 5 mins, so that kinda sucks. I look forward to really getting a good sweat going tomorrow morning.

Food wise today wasn't a bad day. I didn't have much of an appetite, so there weren't any mad food cravings to deal with. Right now the challenge is to get through my days without having to deal with my usual triggers, so I'm going to have to apply some prethought to my route to work. This week might have to involve leaving the wallet at home!

Later Kiddies!
