Look Up

In the early morning hours,
After the late spring showers,
Nothing else is spinning,
And this is just the beginning.
I look up to the sky,
And here’s what I see:
I see the sun start to rise,
Reflected in your eyes.
I see the sky turning light,
As it wakes up from the night.
I see birds start to fly,
In a brilliant colored sky.
So when you’re feeling down,
Look up, and you’ll come around.

Inspiration of the day: caffeine, the smell of fall in the air, a gray sky overhead, a brisk walk, busy day.

Prep for a Sukkot party tonight = wearing me out! Gotta keep looking up at the sky because the sun’s coming out finally! (…blue sky above me is what I now see…)

Conquer the World

Good morning world! Today I woke up feeling like I could conquer the world. You know how sometimes you feel like you can do anything, most likely because you’ve gotten a good night’s sleep and when you woke up you weren’t too cold. [there are theories on "sleep-cycles", but that is not what this post is touching on.] Have you ever felt that way? Most people have; I myself often do, but I find myself at the end of the day with no more accomplished than I normally do on a rainy afternoon. What causes this I wonder? Is it that slowly as the day goes by we become decidedly drained? Maybe it’s because hour by hour we encounter something or someone who makes us stressed, causes us to feel sluggish, maybe even depressed. Perhaps it’s because the evil plot to run our lives through caffeine and energy drinks, really isn’t a scheme at all – it’s reality, no one believes it. I honestly don’t know, but I do know that it is important to keep a positive outlook on the day ahead. As long as you keep telling yourself that today is the day to get things done, work hard, eat healthy, excercise often, stay optimistic… more often than not the way you get things done depends upon your attitude, and unless that’s set straight first thing in the morning, your day is not as productive as a) it could be. b) it should be.

Stay positive world! Make this day count!
