Starting the day well – or not!

I found my post from yesterday!  So I have undeleted it.  YAY!!

I have been a bit “out of sorts” all day.  Something has just not felt right.  I think that it is because I did not start my day with my usual Pretzel walk.  Most days I do this 5k walk and use it to wake up; to think about the day ahead and try to concentrate and be grateful for good things that are happening.  This morning = no walk.  My poor little Pretzel was not very well – she had eaten something that totally disagreed with her …  Dog vomit everywhere is so not pleasant especially at 2am.  She still looked a little bit sorry for herself when my alarm went off at 6:10…  She definitely did not want to walk around in the wind and rain.  It was a gruesome morning and I must admit that a small part of me felt grateful for the excuse not to don my waterproofs and go out.

Now what I should have done is get up and gone for a walk by myself or used the time to meditate.  That would have been a good idea!  But no – I decided to feed my cats who were scratching at the door then go back to bed for an hour.  Now, I am not saying that a lie in is not great once in a while!  I am not saying that there was anything inherently wrong in doing that!  What I am saying is, that, for me this morning, a walk or meditation would have been a much better way to spend my time.  My head would have been clearer and I would have set myself up for the day.

Fortunately my little scruffy dog is better now so we will be back to our morning walk tomorrow!
