Late Night Energy

Seems my days and nights get reversed all too quickly. It was after 9:30 pm when I shrugged off my comfortable blanket, bounced out of the lazy-boy recliner and headed for the dungeon that is my desk area in the basement.

It was a nice set up originally, in summer, when the light from a nearby window made it seem inviting and an organized place to work. Recently, the piles of "stuff" have landed there and without overhead lighting, I've been less than enthused to tackle paperwork there.

Consequently, my real living space upstairs, is equally scattered with "stuff" and I pop open the laptop in fits and starts to try and accomplish projects.

My remedy? Rearrange the basement. My very seldom-used treadmill was bulky in the open area and the desk was crammed in the only space with decent headroom - at least for when you're on a treadmill.

Ta-da... 12 easy-slider moving discs later and a bunch of boxes of junk displaced, I have a nicer, brighter desk set up with the added bonus of being able to view the TV while computing. And my treadmill is by a window that can be opened when I work up too much of a sweat.

Now, it's past midnight and I need to wind down, but I do like the feeling of a fresh start. Tomorrow is a new day, with lots of possibility.

Tiger Woods is looking for a fresh start. His public apology (regarding the sex scandal stuff) was all over the news. He messed up his life, big time. Critics are saying he's just trying to save his golf career. I don't know. It seemed sincere to me. I'm glad he's getting treatment. Pretty sure that going back to Buddhism isn't the answer.

Only God can change lives. And when He does... Wow! Overwhelming love... and a clean slate like a fresh blanket of snow. So amazing.

Time to sleep, perchance to dream. I love you Jesus!
