It has Been a Long Time!

I woke up this morning and took a look outside my window. It looked a little overcast, but there were rays of sunlight peaking through. I gathered my things, showered, drank my morning shake, and headed to the gym.
Lately on my walks to MUNI I have started to feel anxious and angry. I dreaded seeing people and having to deal with strangers on the trains. But today was different. I got to the station and jumped on the next train. I managed to actually get a seat. I started reading a new book and enjoyed the ride. As I got off at my station I noticed that I still wasn't feeling the anxiety that usually comes over me. What was happening? I haven't felt like this in a while. I was actually content with how the day was progressing.

I got to the gym, started to dress and realized "fuck! I forgot my workout t-shirt!". I was about to head home, but then I decided I would just workout in my tank top and deal with my normal self image issues. Well, during the workout, I got a lot of compliments and I actually took a moment to look in the mirror. Damn! Where the hell did those shoulders come from? And those arms? I have pretty much transformed my physical appearance to what I dreamed about a couple of years back. I was in a bit of shock...but it was a happy shock. That is enough vanity...but I wanted to write this to remind myself of this day.

I took my time getting home. I took the time to be in the moments and enjoy the sunshine. Admire the handsome young men and women that work in the Financial District. I used the time to get my thoughts together for the projects I had to do when I got home. And overall, I was appreciating the day and the new opportunity I had been given. I am excited to assist a friend with getting a project off the ground and doing tons of research about business startups.

I am looking forward to the remainder of the week. Things are just getting better. It seems like the worst of the storm has passed and I can see the clear skies on the other side. (knock on wood)

Today was a great day!
