Last night was a late night...it was New Year's Eve, but my college team also Played in a semifinal game against Michigan State last night in the Cotton Bowl. Our team was readier than Michigan State. They played well, but come up short. Alabama will play for a national championship a week from Monday night. It's against the #1 team in the country and should be a great game.
We both meant to sleep in this morning, but my internal clock went off in my head at 5:30 a.m. Tossing and turning until 6:30, I slipped from the covers and went into the kitchen and hit the brew button on the coffeemaker.
Usually I sit reading through my email and wish people happy birthday on Facebook, but I decided to start the New Year off with one of the behaviours I'd like to turn into a habit – yoga.
I fetched the mat I use every Monday night in Jilda's class, I flipped it flat and let it settle on the hardwood floor. The next 30 minutes I did a very good routine and when finished, I felt a little taller.
By the time I was ready to roll up my mat, Jilda got up and we started had a nice quiet cup of coffee.
Today was productive. I began working on a story for a magazine that I'd been putting off for a while, and did several other things I'd been dreading to set the tone for the coming year. Yucky tasks, you can run, but you can't hide from the Rick-o-later. You will get done mister smarty-farty thing on my DO IT NOW!!! List.
This afternoon, we visited sick folks, old friends, and made a passle of calls to friends we haven't talked to in some time.
I hope the first day of 2016 was a good one and your task list fears you.
