Most Days

6:30am and the alarm goes off. This is an hour after K's alarm goes off and right about the time that she's heading out the door. That's really the only set thing in my days right now.

I mean, there are certain things that happen most days. Most days I start off the morning with a run. Then some Daily Audio Bible. Then a shower. Then breakfast. Then catching up on world news that happened while I slept.

Then answering emails, checking in with friends, getting back to clients.

Most days I set up a few playlists to get myself ready for the spurts of work throughout the rest of the day.

And by "set up" I really mean "find a few playlists other people have made online." It's a great arrangement, really.

Most days I focus on hacking out my desired work quota for the day. With random breaks for things like changing the laundry, doing the dishes. A bit of reading here and there. A semi-random ab workout.

Most days end up having a cup of tea appear in them somewhere. Sometimes a smoothie. Always a craving for something sweet.

Most days I try to be done with work by the time I need to go for an evening run and then cook dinner. Most days I am completely unproductive work-wise after dinner. Most days this is frustrating to myself. After all, during college I always was most productive after dinner on most days.

Most days I'm in bed by 10:30, ready for that alarm to go off in 8 hours.

And some days I'm ok with this little semi-routine of mine.

But most days I want more.

.....

So here's to no more of these "most days." Here's to making every day a new day, every day a new opportunity to embrace.

And hopefully, hopefully I'll fall asleep knowing that I've done my best with the time I've been graciously given.
Most days.
