Mood: NRGetic & Xcited!!!

I Have That Innate Fear That If I Don’t Get Up In The Morning (short of the fact that I’m probably deceased), I Might Be Missing Something!!! Life is too short & our frame of reference is so tiny; that to miss out on 1 day is to literally lose a lifetime…

Think Big Picture!!! You are walking along the beach, you pick up a handful of sand, sift down to one single grain of sand, & then you compare that to all the sand that’s left on the beach… That Is Our Life Cycle!!! Every day we are on the verge of being insignificant in the overall scheme of things… So missing out on what 2morrow may bring my way is not a gamble I’m willing to take…

My alarm clock is set for 5:30AM…, I rarely need it… I beat it up (not physically) but time-wise almost every single morning… Although I am a morning person…, I cherish that early morning solitude… This is not the time to talk to me about world events, bills, sports, or the next gig I have on the horizon…

I’m the 1st one up, 1st one in the shower, & 1st one to stir the motion of the day… I meditate in that quiet time as I re-charge my Force Field so I can fully take on this new day… When the weather is nice, I’ll step out the back door onto the patio & absorb the start of the next day of The Rest ‘O My Life!!!

On work days I usually know where I’m going & what I need to accomplish that day… For the curve balls thrown my way (because as a utility company we are a crisis management operation…)

I step firmly in the batter’s box, clench my bat, eye up the pitch, & give myself the best possible chance for success… Whether I hit a single or home run out the park…, my goal is to get in the game & stay fully engaged once I’m in there… We WILL solve the problem because we are a utility & This Is What We Do!!!

On days off…, I live to explore the true beauty of life… You get to go outside & play in your own sandbox to your hearts content… You can do whatever you want to do as you chase the dreams you dreamed as a kid that you should’ve NEVER given up on… (Langston Hughes “A Dream Deferred”)

This is when you put aside all the pomp, the circumstances, the ego’s, & power struggles to Relax & Be Yourself!!! Those are the things that get me excited to wake up every single day to participate in this thing we call LIFE!!!
