"The habits that took  years to build, do not take a day to change." - Susan Powter

Full disclosure - I was not at all mindful today! Ed unexpectedly had an appointment up in Johnson County today. This was good, because we've been wanting him to get into his surgeon to see what's going on with his leg pain. But, I found myself multi-tasking all morning to get things done before noon so I could get him to his appointment by 1:30. As a result of the appointment, he will have surgery tomorrow to debride his wounds. We hope this helps with his pain. I had a hair appointment when we got home from his appointment. Instead of relaxing and enjoying being pampered, I was emailing on my phone and texting. I thought it NEEDED done in preparation for being gone tomorrow. The reality is, it did need done - but NOT while I was getting my hair done. That was my anxiety taking over. Oh well - old habits take awhile to change. I bet, however, I wouldn't be nearly as exhausted  right now if I would have relaxed and been more mindful while getting my hair done.

Please keep Ed in your prayers tomorrow.
