Pre-travel (081126)

Beloved --

So I was asked "How does this apply to you?" In my pre-travel journal I found something that may apply: Designing the Perfect Day.

Morning
-Awaken well rested
-Take some "me" time. . . .meditation, yoga, stretching (am I talking too much like a "retired guy"?)
-Take some nourishment: thoughtfully, low on the food chain, healthy, and prepared for self and others
-Help others with their "up and out"
-Walk yourself (and the dog)
-Do maintenance. . . .health, family, material well being ("Chop wood, carry water:)
-Exercise: walk, aerobics, strength training, yoga
-Rest
Mid-day
-Nourishment: lunch and prep for dinner
Afternoon
-Work: projects, maintenance, research, library, correspondence (as fits your diurnal cycle)
-Nap/siesta/rest
Evening
-Nourishment
-Clean-up
-Family/personal matters
-Music/art/writing (creatively, not passively)
-Off-site meetings (limited in number)
-Reading
-Walk (the dog?)
Retire early

It seems to work for me, even when I travel.

I love you and miss you,

Jim
