Today was a bit of a toss up; I probably SHOULD'VE stayed home and thoroughly cleaned or walked the dogs or at least just stayed home so they could run around in the backyard. However, after 6 hours of sleep (thanks to daylight savings time AND two pups who have no idea of the concept) I decided...since a nap was not in my future (again, thanks to pups I affectionately call gremlins) I decided today was going to be MY day.
I set out at 10:30 (so the pups DID get a full 4 hours of running rampant and exercising the demons). I set out with an errand or two to run and didn't know what time stores opened and quite frankly...didn't care. The day was beautiful..the sun was shining and the sky was a piercing bright blue. I thought - I may sit in the parking lot of a store waiting for it to open listening to my new Lady Antebellum CD or perhaps I'll treat myself to a 'luxury' coffee?! So I went about my morning with this slight grin on my face..not rushing about...not feeling anxious...and most of all not feeling GUILTY. I wasn't about to allow myself to feel guilty today.
Eventually, I met friends for lunch at a perfect outdoor dining spot for quite the perfect outdoor dining kind of day. It turns out, the service was SUPER slow, but again...no worries from this chica. I had several choices today that WERE presenting a dilemma before today actually arrived. I was supposed to take Kenda to her last training class OR attend my 'pre-bootcamp' class. As it turns out, and I didn't quite plan it but wouldn't CHANGE it for anything, I missed both options and went with the impromptu lunch planned by friends. It felt fabulous and spontaneous. It felt good and not guilty. I should try the GOOD feeling over GUILT more often. :) Thank you friends.
