rss feedDay 94
Last night around midnight I started getting some painful abdominal cramps, and as they continued for the next hour, I began to wonder if I would be able to secure enough sleep before beginning my jam-packed morning. I figured that if they kept me up until the wee hours, I would consider that a physical constraint worthy of pardon, thus excusing me from starting my bows by 9am, because on this particular morning, I needed to scoot out the door by 9:15, which meant I needed to start my bows by 8am in reality.
I went to bed around 2:30 with this in mind and fell asleep with the full expectation that I’d be doing my bows closer to 2pm rather than 9am. To my surprise, however, I woke up at 8:15am feeling 100% clear headed and awake, so I hopped out of bed and began my practice a LOT earlier than expected. Because of my time constraints, my practice was incredibly focused. And because I was thrilled to be doing them before 9am, my practice was filled with joy. And as I write this entry, I can safely say that I think this experience may have affected my entire day, because today was awesome. Everything went perfectly and was intensely fun and wonderful. Today is one of those days I’ll remember for a long time because everything worked out so incredibly well. I had a perfect day today, and it started with a happy accident that I was grateful to take advantage of.
