My Life Thus Far

Fully Present and Participating

It's only a little after midnight, and I can barely keep my eyes open. A good sign I might actually get a full night's sleep tonight. Even when I'm good about getting myself to bed by 10 or 11pm, I still can't seem to fall asleep until 2 or 3am. It's a constant problem I'm not sure how to fix. All the good sleep hygiene tactics are lost on my.

Nothing too remarkable about today. I had a good day at work. Although, most days are now, and I can't pinpoint what changed. Other than my attitude. My mantra (be here now) has changed everything. It's gotten to the point where I rarely have to remind myself to "be here now". I just am. Fully present and participating in life. Which proves practice makes perfect, and if you work on anything long enough progress will be made. It feels good to not hate my job every single day. Even if it isn't the ideal job anymore. Even if it isn't what I see myself doing 10 years from now. Even if it's not what I see myself doing next year. I'm happy right now. But who am I kidding? I'll still be here next year. Unless they fire me.

I made a really great soup for dinner. We hung out as a family (rare, since the teenager usually isn't home). Snookums and I gave our hedgehog, Sebastian Pricklebottom a bath. I'm laying in bed now. Ready to sleep, because after a few days of exhaustion sleep usually comes easily.
