Day 73 of my 100 days of happiness challenge. I’m taking the time to show my appreciation for the good things that made me happy today. Today’s thought to ponder: Create a time and place in your life for thinking.” John C. Maxwell ************************* I’m happy that I was able to do some work outside during “the cool time of the morning (82 degrees)” to make our home look better. It was a big reminder, again, that I am not physically able to beat the heat anymore without ramifications. I made believe in front of Jacqui that things were okay but guzzling of water and falling asleep in my chair then bed for 3 hours was a sign that I overdid it – again. I’m happy that as relaxed for the rest of the afternoon and evening I was able to go to my ‘Secret Place.’* (As described in The Education of Little Tree.) My appearances looked like I was watching Sports and reading but I was actually thinking of many things important to me and the future. I would share some of it but that’s something that’s reserved for me have after I leave my Secret Place. I think Jacqui knew I was there because I seemed to be less committal/responsive about anything. She, as many of the older UCF Orientation Team members, has one too. Do you? I’m happy that I am where I am in my life with the people I have in my life. Have a Blessed night my friends. *”Little Tree found a place near the spring branch, up the side of the mountain that he liked to enjoy by himself. I was a grassy knoll with a sweet gum. He thought it was very special, so special he wanted to share it with his Grandma. She convinced him not to tell her because all Cherokees have a Secret Place where they can go to be by themselves. Grandma has her special place, and so did Grandpa.” The Education of Little Tree
