A New Work Week Begins

I am sitting at my computer and looking out my living room window. The sky is still dark with no indication of the coming dawn. I am listening to the washing machine move from the rinse cycle to the final spin. I have a cup of coffee on a wooden T.V. tray set up beside my chair. I have said most of my morning prayers and am waiting for breakfast time in about thirty minutes or so.

I have made one entry in my Gratitude Journal and need to find nine more things I am thankful for today. I am more optimistic then last week because I have focused on prayers this last weekend. My week always begins better when I focus on saying my prayers.

This week is full of writing and work objectives. While it is true that writing is one of my jobs, I also work part time outside of the house. This means I have to make sure I get writing time in at irregular intervals throughout the day. I have a telephone hook up to the Internet (not DSL yet), so I cannot use the phone when I am on line.

I cannot use the phone when I am online and I cannot get online when I am using the phone. I have several business calls to make today and tomorrow, which means I am going to have to do online work after 5:00 PM. I have to make sure the line is open so that when I leave a message the people can get back to me.

Leaving the phone line open is incontinent, but not difficult. I have several projects I can work on while waiting for people to return my phone calls. I no one gets back to me before 5:00 PM on Monday or Tuesday, they cannot get me on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday before 2:00 PM, all though, Thursday and Friday I may be home earlier.
