Sheila had an afternoon out with the girls.  She and Kathy, Shelli and Sharon had lunch at The Cheesecake Factory.  As expected, it lasted 2-3 hours, but I am not complaining.  I was glad that she could enjoy that time.  Besides, she did bring me back the left-overs from her lunch that I had for dinner.  And yes, it was very tasty.  I told her that she would have a hard time deciding what to order, but she didn't talk about that when she got home.  She just sat down and took time to tell me lots of stuff that the 'girls' had to say during their lunch.  I stayed here and tried to be productive.  I had all sorts of good ideas during my night time sleep/think time, but in the reality of the day things didn't go quite as well as when I thought them up.  But that is the reality of life. Reality is real which stands for real difficult to make happen in real life.  But I really do feel like I made progress today. Can't really quantify it, just feel like it did happen.  And like yesterday or any other day of consequence I spent my energy and am now in need of refueling.  I like my 'sleep/think time' and I like my 'real' time too.  I guess that I am pretty comfortable with things the way that they are, but I also have lots that I would like to be better at and sometimes I allow that to bother me.  But when I catch my self my 'chose button' needs to be worked and I 'chose' the positive side of the 'opposition in all things'.  I like it better when I can do that.  Can't control every thing, but I am learning that there is more that I can control then I thought.  And if I don't control 'it' and I leave it to others, well, that is never a good thing.  It is my job, and I simply have to do it.
