Big picture day

Today is the beginning of something new. I am not sure what that is yet, but I know it is true for two reasons. First, I didn't put my usual creamer and sugar in my coffee. I love my morning coffee to be sweet, but today I had the self control to not put in sugar in the interest of health. That self control comes from an extra amount of caring about the future, and that is one reason I know that today something has changed for the better. Second, I have a non-paid day off today. That means I have a lot of choices to make about how I spend my time. To make these choices, I have to prioritize my life, which is never a bad thing. On any other weekday, my day would be planned out for me, a series of duties and responsibilities getting checked off until bedtime, with very little time to think about the bigger picture. But now, I have to think. I get to. And something new will come out of it, and it will be good. How do I know? I don't. But I feel it. That is proof enough for me. Carpe Diem!
