It’s 7am and I’m up early this Saturday morning. In fact, early enough to get to Panera Bread right after it opens. But first things first, here’s #1 on my “ToDo List”:
- Create my “10 Morning Blessings / Gratitude List” immediately upon rising.
- #1) I am so happy and grateful for achieving flow, a psychological state where you are fully immersed and focused on an activity or a task. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
- #2) I am so happy and grateful for Rhodes Scholarships. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
- #3) I am so happy and grateful for reasonably lengthened life spans. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
- #4) I am so happy and grateful for not having the fear of missing out. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
- #5) I am so happy and grateful for a restaurant with goats grazing on the grass-covered roof. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
- #6) I am so happy and grateful for fluorescent-bright food stores. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
- #7) I am so happy and grateful for presidential autographs. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
- #8) I am so happy and grateful for apricot strudel. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
- #9) I am so happy and grateful for knowledge, even in its tiniest increments, being one of the few pleasures that really endures. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
- #10) I am so happy and grateful for a baby’s first smile. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
- And thank you for good news that is coming to me today!
- Daily Mediation #1 (of 3 total) (with my “air conditioner” background video). I had my first meditation of the day, around 9 am, in which I asked “The Source” what are the next steps I need to take on my journey…
- Go through “Dream List” (Add/Remove/Update). I went through the “Entertainment” PDF today while at Panera Bread.
- Create & Update “Vision Board”. I thought about my “KWF” coin, but it was quite busy today, so I didn’t get around to making a video on it.
- Daily Mediation #2 (with my “air conditioner” background video). Busy day, and I feel like I’m coming down with something, so no second in-depth meditating today.
- Daily Mediation #3 (with my “air conditioner” background video). I meditated a bit on my coin with the “KWF” as I drifted off to sleep this evening.
- Before going to bed, do or record my “Act of Kindness”: While at the soccer field this afternoon I told the guy in the bathroom that he dropped his sock out of his athletic bag.
- Before going to bed, clutch my “Gratitude Rock” and record my “Main Blessing” for today: Learning how to create AI videos for $$$.
- Panera Bread coffee (optional). Yep, early this morning, at around 7:30 am right after they opened.
- Learn the “Garage Band” software (optional). Nadda.
- Learn “Gentle on My Mind” on guitar (optional). Nadda.
I had an extremely interesting dream early this morning and woke up soon afterward, around 4:03 am. In this dream I was on an operating table next to a black woman. We obviously were either recovering from an operation, or about to go and each get one. We got talking about injustice and racism and I said I sympathize with the single black woman who is older and has worked all her life as a cleaning lady. She has nothing and goes to Church and is one day gunned down by a racist. She never did anyone any harm but had to pay the price for evil. Why did she need to die as she was a source of good in the world. Why in the world did I dream this? Not sure…
Panera Bread opened at 7 am this morning, so I thought that I would go down there and check it out. I was pretty well the 2nd or 3rd person in the coffee shop at that hour. I had a coffee and thought I would treat myself to a breakfast sandwich as it was Saturday and got $2 off (see photo to the right). It was delish! While at Panera Bread this morning I completed the “Entertainment” PDF.
I took my son to a soccer game this afternoon and looked for coins, especially the “KWF” coin along the way. Nope…so such coin(s) today. I’m not sure why I found all those coins early on when I started this blog and am going through a dry spell right now.
I went back to Panera Bread this afternoon for a coffee and could not get out of the parking lot as there was a tow truck trying to take a car away. The owner of the car came back and started to complain that he just left the lot for a second and had an order waiting for him at Panera Bread. The cops came and they argued back and forth. It was about an hour before the guy eventually paid off the tow truck driver and was allowed to take his car, and then with the lot freed up I was on my way.
