five little monkeys jumping on the bed . . .

you know, sometimes you just have to stop and celebrate the little things that you have accomplished during the day.  it seems to me that we are so busy rushing from one task to the next, or worse yet - dreading something that is in our future that we have no control over, that we do not take the time to enjoy what we have achieved, experienced or are about to experience.  we have so much, yet we just rush, rush, rush through the day's activities to the next thing.  yes, this is about stopping and smelling the roses.

so here is my list of things i did today.  this is not a complete list of accomplishments but things i am rather proud of, happy i survived or enjoy reflecting on . . .

• l.a. traffic on the 405!  tons of vehicles moving really fast at the same time - and yes, i was driving
• realized just how many songs refer to streets in california
• booked my own multi-city flight and even got a decent price
• cashed in some hotel bonus points for a weekend excursion
• said at least 1044 words today that had meaning
• had the joy of being checked in on by my dear sweet friend [thanks for the text!  :)]
• didn't plan my day very well and neglected to eat until 7 pm.  but when i did - boy was it good!
• sat in silence in my hotel room the entire evening - phone turned off - tv turned off - no music - ahhhh
• made some serious strides with a client today
• saw palm trees and wondered how they got there - highly creative yet unlikely placement
• congratulated two people on going way above and beyond the call of duty
• bounced on the bed - really!

it is so good to be me!  how was your day?
