[Christmas 9] joy sadhana goes back to the office tomorrow

[hermionesviolin]

Huh, today was weirdly relaxing. I'd accidentally turned my 5:30am alarm ON when I re-set it, and I never fell back into solid sleep after that, but I feel like I got a good amount of sleep. I worked on "overdue" posts and didn't feel crunched for time (I tend to feel like I need to have an open block of umpteen hours in order to get anything done). Okay, so I didn't feel confident enough of my free time to email Scott to try to set up a phonecall, but...

"Joy Sadhana is a daily practice in the observation of joy."

The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light. And they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. (Isaiah 9:2, Handel's Messiah)

Good things about today:

• @maureenjohnson's #creepyin2012 amused me (yes, I RTed a bunch of them).
  
• What I find most hilarious about this is that I initially misread the image description as saying, "the only reason he's not giving you the finger is that he does not have fingers"
  

Things I did well today:

• Ate more of the frozen vegetables -- and the last of the Christmas leftovers (well, the ones from my mom, anyway).
  
• Finished my intended 2011 wrap-up posts.
  

Things I am looking forward to (doing [better]) tomorrow:
["anything that you're looking forward to, that means you're facing tomorrow with joy, not trepidation," as Ari says]

• going to the gym again
  
• catching up with folks
  
• accomplishing stuff at work (yes, I am feeling optimistic)
  
• getting my phone replaced (I'm not really excited about the process, but I look forward to having a phone that doesn't randomly reset itself)
