Your Day?

So what is your day?  I was pondering this during lunch today.  I know that a lot of people have difficult or bad days and some people have good maybe even the odd great day.  But what is your day?  I got this email today about a person that was apparently already arrived.  That is to say they knew what they had and it was what they had wanted or desired but they had the ability to realize it.  That is the key here to know that where you is ok and it is not necessary to go chasing after something else just have and to try to get back to the place you started.  This is maybe getting a little deep for Tuesday.  But what I am asking is what is your day?  Is it long and boring filled with unhappy things or is it warm and full of wonderful things.  I think a lot of people that make it successfully and by that I am saying know they have what they desire can make their days seem effortless.  This takes me into another bigger item which knowing where you are going, I have been focusing on getting our somewhat idealistic thought of retirement closer to a reality.  I can't think too hard on retirement as it seems a long way off but I guess knowing that you want to retire and that you want to enjoy life is great thing helps you focus.

So my day is this, wake up usually after the better half is up and roaming around.  Shower and shave, brush the teeth.  try to get out the door by 6:40ish.  Now in bike season this is not the case.  I am up and rolling on the pathway by 6am so keep that in mind as there is really two different events that may happen in my day.  Work, I am in the office and looking for issues what worked what did not and then fix it.  Then it is broader, get looking at things like projects and deadlines, server builds and storage systems.  Meetings, never ending meetings some days.  Then there is management documentation as managers need you to tell them what you are doing so they can tell other management how much you are doing so they can tell other people who knows what.  Then lunch.  Love lunch.  Next we move onto the better part of the day, the issues are ironed out or hopefully in a good position and then you can focus on what needs to be addressed pushing for feedback from other coworkers on project items getting data together to defend our need for a piece of infrastructure.  Home time.  C-train, sometimes fun sometimes not so fun.  In bike season it is on the pedals and loving it all the way home.  Home, dinner, relax or not, walk the dog, in the winter ride the bike in the basement, yoga, maybe some weights.  Summer it is walk the dog rehydrate for the next day.  Now things vary but sometimes it is watch a bunch of videos or edit photos or simply just relax.  But maybe it is renovations or go shopping for something.  Then snack maybe, read, lights out, next day.

Now this does not cover the weekends but hey they are a little more personal and nobody likes to here that I might be sleeping in or something boring.

Anyway, look around you may already be where you need to be.  Your day may not be that exciting sometimes but maybe that is ok.....

cheers
