Standard Day

It was just a regular red and gold bursting into sunrise day here in the dessert. These are work days. Days when the sun just rises and gets up over those mountains. I have a work day today too - a couple meetings and then a long drive through the high desert to California.

I'm in my traveling clothes and my music playlist is ready. It is a beautiful day and I will get a lot of great thinking done on this trip. It's amazing how good you can feel after a really long and peaceful sleep and some much needed downtime. A good attitude helps too. I think the attitude is easier to conjure up when you are rested and relaxed. I've come to scheduling this downtime into my calendar so it gets the priority it deserves.
