Day 30

IT"S DAY 30!!!!

30 DAYS OF WAKING UP AT 7AM!!!

Ok...NEARLY 30 days of waking up at 7am!!

Ok, ok...like, 18 days of waking up at 7am???

Whatever it is (I actually lost count), what an exciting adventure!

My plan to wake up at 7 became less about the time I woke up and more about trying to be the kind of person I always wanted to be. I learned that the courage to challenge habits and look at the world in a different way is the key that opens the door to possibility.  It was from cultivating that mindset that I saw actual change.

So here, on Day 30, I will sum up by saying this:

Waking up at 7 made me want to be a better person.

Even when got up at 8.

Day 29

Ode to Coffee

Oh, sweet love.

Nectar of goodness.

I love you, so.

Good morning Elixir of Dreams.

Good Morning.

Day 28

In my 7am life I am wearing this outfit.

And riding that bike.**

To the Farmer's Market.

To buy a baguette that I will eat dipped in olive oil before heading to my 4pm Yoga class.

(sigh)

I'd wake up at 6am for that outfit.

**I will, however, be wearing a helmet. 

Day 27

"A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving."

-Lao Tzu

BACK BY APATHETIC DEMAND....

IT'S MINI GOAL TUESDAYS!!!

This week's goal:

NOTHING!

It is my goal to do nothing, plan nothing, strive for nothing.

I will look at the sky, cherish the day, smell the metaphorical roses.

I will see where the wind takes me.

This week, the day will have to be enough as it is, whatever it is.  

No improvement necessary. 

This week I will just BE.

Don't get me wrong...I will try to BE at 7am...but that's it!

And maybe I'll clean my closets if I have time.

He says it better....

Day 26

A Letter to my Closets...

Part 2.

Dear Closets,

It has come to  my attention that you still have not been cleaned.

Please accept my most heartfelt apologies regarding this delay.  This office tries very hard to accommodate all requests in timely fashion.  Please believe me when I say, your organization and your cleanliness are held in the highest regard and will be tended to as soon as possible.

However, today it is very pretty outside and I would like to go out and play.

So, I am going to.

Thank you for your continued support.

Your patience is GREATLY appreciated.

Yours truly,

Jen D.

Day 25

Not a Haiku:

Roses are red

Violets make me glad

Slept till 8:30

And I don't even feel bad 

Day 24

A Haiku:

Out late. Late I wake.

But had so much fun last night.

Worth it, yes. Worth it.
