Getting back in the groove

Getting back into the groove of things has been tough this week. I can't believe how fast 5 days go by. My mom says that the older we get, the faster time goes by, and I am beginning to see that. I was looking forward to the 5 days of lounging, although that did not entirely happen. I of course had things I had to do during the 5 days, but still it should have been a slower pace. On Monday morning, I did not want to get out of bed, and was sluggish through out the day, which made me think about a few things. You know how your parents always say you need to start your day out with Breakfast? The most important meal of the day. That may be true, but getting off on the right foot in the morning is one of the best ways to make a day successful. We all need to tune up our boides with a few physical and mental daily dozen reps. Get last nights bad dreams out of our heads and think about the great possiblitites of a new day and what we can accomplish. Most of us hit the snooze bar to catch 10 more minutes of sleep and then rush to get to where we are going, and get started on what we have to do this day. This starts our day out with a mental handicap. So I am going to try to wake up 10 minutes earlier every day, and read something encouraging and inspiring. I will see if this helps me to have a better attitude and ability to meet and slay the dragons that are sure to appear during the day. Obstacles are not always a bad thing, just think how dull this battle of life would be without them. Just remember to be prepared, to play the game and to accept the victory or defeat. Remember a new day is just around the clock dial.
