Diantie's 365 Days to ...

Today I decided that I should take it easy and head into the city later as I have a charity event tonight. So I slept in and now about to eat breakfast and start my day doing errands and there are lots of them to do. I have been working on this project and I have been thinking about different ways the project can be. Then it hit me this morning that I can do something else. Talk about a light bulb going off in my head. Now I am so excited about my new possibility. I get these e-mail with quotes and here is one I got today that I want to share. "Trust that little voice in your head that says "wouldn't it be interesting if ..." And then do it." Author Duane Michals. So is this destiny or what!

Nice sunshine day and I almost did not want to get out of bed to head out the door. Well I did it and have lots to accomplish today. Did I mentioned that I am reading a few books? I continued with a few pages of one of those this morning. The book is helping me with a project I am working on; otherwise I won't be reading it. The other books got a minute or two of my attention this weekend. There is so much good stuff in these books that is why I am taking my time to absorb the information.

So I slept in and did not do my 2 mile walk. I guess I have to make up for that by walking four miles during the week. I was on the go all day taking care of little errands and things around the house. Who has drawers of junk and don't know what's inside them? I am so determined to throw out almost everything I have and I so serious about this. I have to accept that all the things I have been hoarding for years are meaningless and it is time to part with them. All good things will be donated to the salvation army. All the business suits will go to women's' organizations. The shoes, I am still debating what to do about the shoes. I found two pairs that have never been worn and these will join the other dozen or so never been shoes. Handbags, yes, I have lots of those too. Saris and other Indian outfits will be also be given away. I need to make space in life and until I get rid of the junk I won't be able to function the way I want to.

Nice day, no complaints here. I have not taken that 2 mile walk as yet but I will do before the day is over. I spent my morning taking care of those little annoying things that you never get to like sewing on the button, sorting out the clothes for drying cleaning, cleaning junk off the dresser. Making space for better things!

Today I was more than pleased to walk down the avenues and streets in NYC. There was a nice breeze and the weather was perfect for walking. I am amazed at how wonderful I felt as I headed to my destination. What did I accomplish? I am reading three books at the same time. A little bit of each everyday until I am completed with each. My project today was to start typing up my notes for a task I am working on. Finally I am at the point of taking all the pieces of papers I have been collecting and putting it all together to make sense. I met a friend this evening to catch-up. So there I was trying to call him and he is calling at the same time. Then he tells me his location and I responded that I am at the same spot except I was backing him. Yes, just like you see in movies. When I turned around, there he was. I was trying to watch a little TV but I fell asleep. Now I am about to drink a cup of tea and catch-up with my late night TV.

No sleeping in late today as I have to find my way into the city to get my computer. Problem was that the computer was not ready. I took a book with me and I went over to Bourbon Cafe to hang out while I wait for the computer. I tried the hot chocolate and it was good. Much better that the one I had last week which was too rich. Some reading got done and again I am learning new things. I ended up spending my whole day waiting for the computer so I read quite a bit. Maybe I will be able to finish the book before it is due. I laughed a lot this evening on my way home. One of my train buddies was telling us a story about something that had happened and I could not help myself. I am still smiling now as I remember the story. The weather was nice today; what a wonderful breeze this evening. It was a pleasure to be outside walking around and I am happy I was able to do it. Hope the weather is this nice tomorrow.

The post for Wednesday was not posted as I took my computer for a check-up. I actually slept in late and had some time to do a bit of reading. It is amazing the things you learn when you read. Too bad I don't have more time to read. I had a red iced tea and it was OK. The weather was hot but you always have to be prepared as it can take cold in an instant. I had a class and was amazed that I was able to stay alert as my running nose and sneezing was still bothering me.
