5 Things That You Can Find on my Nightstand

I found this on one of the blogs I read--and thought it would be fun.

1) My Flower Essences from Green Hope Farm--they help me both to continue my spiritual journey and to stay sane while I'm on it.

2) My journal--yes, I write every night. It helps me unwinde.

3) Pen--for said journal

4) Clock--for meditation and for checking in the middle of the night

5) Flashlight--for checking time in the dark.

Biking

I'm finally living in a place where I can use my bike as my main mode of transportation. And what's nice is that the more I bike, the more I want to bike. Now, when I need to run an errand, I think of my bike first, my car second. I'm getting a lot more excersice and fresh air, and that helps my overall mood. Plus I feel good about using less gas and contributing less to global warming.

Serendipity

I went on-line today to find out who to make the check out to for my passport renewal--a chore I've been avoiding--and discovered that the fees are going up tomorrow. So I called and found out that if I can get it postmarked today (which I was able to do) I can still pay the "current" fees. That is a significant savings. And it was just the impetus I needed to finally send in my application. Now all I have to do is wait 2 months . . . I'm sure I'll manage to keep busy avoiding something else . . . ;-)
