I actually walked into my office before 7 am this morning! I had forced myself out of bed and read my chapter, gotten a wonderful inspiration of a lesson, read a few pages in a book that Sheila bought as a Christmas present for someone and did my 60 push ups with relish and thanksgiving, got dressed, had my personal prayer, all by 7. If I can only finish this Friday with 1/2 as much vigor as I feel now I will be pleased. I started reading that book yesterday. It has been a wonderful experience. Got me really thinking in a good way, and feeling communion and inspiration since. I guess I do allow myself to settle much of the time. I just get distracted and do what comes easiest instead of being a little bit more diligent, making a little bit more effort, and trying a little bit harder. Sometimes I even wander onto the wrong side of the line for a bit and then realizing where I am I hurry back scolding myself for my folly. I guess that the word is 'complacency'. My new theme now is 'anti-complacency'. Yes, I'll begin today and try to be 'anti-complacent'!
You seem happy and positive. I hope you enjoyed your little break.
