2:43 Saturday

Saturday of a Thanksgiving Weekend. It's October 10th already. 9 days have passed since my 38th Birthday. How time flies!!! That I think is this afternoon's lesson. Life passes whether or not you choose to make the most of your time. Today has been a lazy one.

I woke fairly late, 11:00am or so, after staying up late to watch an episode of CSI New York and again having coffee way too late in the day. I have this funny addiction to spending all the money I have at once. I am hoping that frugality is one of the lessons I learn from my downtime over the last 6 months.

So, today being Saturday, perhaps I will get and do some chores. There's a pile of laundry to fold and put away, a bed to be made and storage issues to contend with. It's a lovely day outside, sunny but a bit on the cool side. Perhaps a bike ride this afternoon might better prepare me for a good night's sleep. I may also try to get around to finally doing my 'admissions test' on eLance to generate some sideline (at this point main) income from my writing skills. There's of course also the option to monetize my blogs but I'm not too crazy, plus I'm not sure if anyone actually reads my blogs! lol There's also some good reading to be done today.

Also to be done today is to review the 101 practices outlined by Robin Sharma in Who Will Cry When You Die. The other night I entered them all into an Excel Spreadsheet to prioritize them, note the techniques I am already using and prioritize the others for incorporation into my life.

One thing that's started to bother me is back pain. I am not sure if this is related to my mattress - I wonder if the 4 (out of 5) hardness that I chose is too soft for me. I know that exercise and strengthening my back will also help. Put that on the to-do list as well.

Ok.... so that's the mid-day post for Day 3. Now onto some action - practicing the action habit!!
