I will state for the record that I feel much, much better tonight then I did last night.  And it isn't all because it's Friday night and my work week is over.  It isn't just because I took some time off of work today and we drove to Orem to watch Cortney play in the state high school volleyball tournament.  It wasn't just because we ordered our favorite Chinese meal out for dinner and there is enough left over for tomorrow.  All of those added, but the key was the choices that I made.  I was in good spirits all day and except for thinking about all of those good things that I mentioned and a little about actual work I pondered great thoughts and high ideals and wonderful possibilities.   I even walked over to the church in the snow and slippers and still got back feeling quite euphoric about my day.  Now maybe I can get to my 'pile' tomorrow and work at a relaxed pace and just work myself through the day while enjoying the good things that a Saturday can offer.  I know that I will probably not sleep in very late, but just knowing that I can changes things a lot.  I know that I won't stay up very late either, but just knowing that I could makes it seem more fun.  Oh, when we parked at the University in Orem for the match we were able to park free in the valet lot because we are 'elderly' and they didn't even charge us.  Maybe this old age stuff can give back some, after all it seems to have already taken a lot away.  Kind of a trade off I suppose.  Anyway, today I did, indeed (and in deeds) move forward as I wrote last night that I would.  And I intend to do more of the same tomorrow.  47 and 47 is just a small part of that.
