a sweet monday, yes monday

i've been up for about an hour. chris rock's latest comedy show is playing on the tv. i'm having my morning coffee after preparing it with my eyes closed. it is a part of my morning ritual. get out of bed. walk blindly to the coffee maker, pour, sip... put on glasses... wash face... put on eyeballs. otherwise known as contacts. yes. this morning, i crawled back under the covers and had some good alone time with google reader. in a few hours, i will be dropping off arlene, rod and amianan to sfo and driving into the o. dinner plans with kg and i'll be back here. under the covers, getting some rest. the day has started in this position and will most likely close the same way. apple and me, in bed.. oh, and flo of course.

i realize being able to use flex time to take some of this much needed time alone, is a blessing. i appreciate that about my job. i've got so much on my mind and heart, yet there is no weight to those thoughts. instead,i feel them pushing me gently on the back. like a guide. life is unfolding in beautiful ways.

i had a full weekend with pep family. i was moved and challenged. i was proud and frustrated. at the end, i know i will always give a piece of myself to pep. i am grateful. n is so aware of my love for this work. for this community. for what makes me the womyn she see's today, and for the womyn i will continue to evolve into. this kind of understanding is so important to me. i am trying to extend that deep understanding towards "seeing" who she is, too. (even if we do have to fight each other during the nba playoffs! GO LAKERS!!!! ha ha ha...)

oh this monday is sweet.. yes.. and it's a monday.
