Day One Done

As promised "the questions"' came early in the morning. After acknowledging their receipt I checked them out - hhmmm, they're okay. Sounds odd, I'm sure, but they didn't inspire me to dive in.

After dissecting them for what I didn't understand, I put them away for a bit. Today was not the day to begin in earnest; I really wanted to understand what the questions would entail. Like a snack, I picked away at them throughout the day, mulling over all kinds of parameters. The internal whining began and I gave in to easing into the process - similar to how I begin my day. Besides, them are some deep questions and I gots ta ramp appropriately. No worries - the mood will come over me!


UPDATE a day later:
I find horoscopes fascinating and discover interesting connections AFTER the day for which they were intended. Through email, I receive daily affirmations and horoscope from DailyOM (www.dailyom.com) and this was yesterday's (writing this onTuesday the 22nd) horoscope ... (my comments) -

You may find yourself becoming highly engrossed in educational books, moving personal essays, or intellectual conversations today. (WHOA!) Though you may be responsible for a number of mundane obligations, you’ll likely gravitate toward activities that allow you to utilize your mind and your creative nature. (gravitated but not utilized) This can be a fine time to pick up a book you’ve considered reading, enroll in an adult education course, or take part in a debate. (ya can't make this stuff up!!)

Your attention may be firmly focused on academic or scholarly pursuits, so you may feel fully mentally engaged. (rofl) As you become increasingly lost in the world of facts and discovery today, you may realize that your ability to memorize data and retain what you have learned is heightened. (not so much - since I kinda wanted to crawl into a hole yesterday)

Keeping the mind sharp and flexible is as easy as regularly engaging the intellect in creative and studious pursuits. (trooo, it's trooo) Our minds thrive on activity and stimulation. To ignore the needs of the mind is to court boredom and risk losing the mental agility we have cultivated over the course of our lives.

As we puzzle out problems or assimilate new information, new pathways are formed in our brains that grant us an enhanced aptitude for learning. (holy schneickies!) Study exercises the mind, and it is through lifelong education that we ensure that our ability to grow intellectually stays strong. While learning in and of itself is pleasurable, it also enables us to grow more fully into our emotions and skills. Your mental agility will grow ever keener today as you continue to explore the world. (holy crap - I need a beer!)

(wonder what today's email will bring!)
