This was Day 2 of my
30 day challenge to start my day a half hour earlier. When I awoke to go the bathroom just after midnight, I thought how hard it might be to not rely on the snooze alarm six hours later. When it was 1 a.m. and I was still awake, I worried that the challenge might be in danger so early in the game. When my dear husband woke me up closing a window just after I'd finally fallen back to sleep I was getting discouraged. When I was wide awake at 2 a.m. and reading in order to try to tire myself, I was convinced that I'd have my first failure at my new habit. But instead I rose to the occasion, thanks to having prepared well the night before. And here I was leaving our house not at 8:15 or 8:30, but at 7:46. Yay me.
I'm celebrating my success this first day of October. I look forward to the month ahead and all that it offers. I am honored and delighted to be living her in this place at this time. I am blessed beyond measure with friends and a small but absolutely wonderful family. Happy October, y'all.
