Hello Friends:
Today has been a very good day! I had a real, actual day off! My daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter went to the zoo and to his sister's for dinner. The students I had scheduled, canceled.
I had visions of extreme leisure dancing through my mind:
- Grabbing my current library book (Devotion, by Dean Koontz - fun read!) and heading to the mall.
- Lunch whilst reading my book.
- Starbucks
- Massage chair with Starbucks and book
- Walk in the park
- Hooping
- Nap
Just to name a few of my favorite solitary activities for an unexpected day off.
But my conscience got the best of me. I decided to work on my piano room in the basement. After all, it looks as though I will be teaching piano lessons online from my basement room for a very long time!
However, I will be giving lessons to my students through my beloved music center. So my future is pretty darn stable!
Coincidentally, my brother was in town having a socially distant visit with my parents on the yard. When I called, he invited me to join them and agreed to take me to Target to get some bookshelves.
Imagine that - a man agreeing to go with a woman to Target! Well, he did tell me he planned to sit in the car. But his daughter came along, and she begged and pleaded until he reluctantly tagged along.
I am never this excited about organizing, but I must be changing. I am not sure what I am changing into, but I had a very peaceful feeling, choosing my bookshelves and a little table. He was kind enough to carry my stash inside, since it was very heavy.
Little brothers are a God send! Hopefully this means he forgives me for all the times I tortured him as a child.
After my Target expedition, it was quickly approaching 2:00 p.m., my cut off time for eating. So I decided to indulge myself with a lunch out. And then I remembered it was senior citizen day at the thrift store around the corner.
I guess I'm seeing the positive side of growing older. I got 50 % off a bag of really fun clothing; some of which I plan on taking to Vegas next week.
Then I came home, colored my gray and did a load of laundry. Now I am planning on descending into my basement cave and getting rid of much junk! And organizing my music books and work space.
Most exciting am I!
I have not yet hooped today. Perhaps I will take a break from cleaning and organizing and take a trip across the street for a hoop session.
However, I did hoop yesterday! Here is my video as proof.
I was going to comment on how disappointed I have been the YouTube did not seem to have the option to add music to videos any longer. But I did some research, and found they do! They have changed their format and you can only use music from their audio library, but I am thrilled to have sound again! It motivates me to get hooping more regularly!
I am going back and adding music to all of my recent hooping videos. They are currently processing, so you might not hear it just yet. But it is forthcoming! :)
After I'm done cleaning, my reward will be talking to my man for a bit. I like to reward myself for small victories. Cleaning and organizing is a victory for me. And not so small, when I am actually enjoying it!
This is no doubt one of my more boring blog posts. But to me, it is calm, peaceful and happy!
I hope you are having a calm, peaceful and happy day too!
Talk to you soon.
Love, Joy and Inner Peace to you!
