Can a day be busy and restful?

Yes.  Still recovering from pushing it a little too hard on the bike and in the gym, I feel like avoided what everyone else seems to have.  Today was a busy day at work, but much was accomplished.  I have only 3 major items on my plate.  That's a good feeling.  Mondays seem to be all about work, but today seemed to be more about completion of outstanding tasks, requests for help from friends and colleagues and finally getting a handle on my work to dos - an important 1st step in clearing out the clutter.  Today I am grateful for:
  • Kristina's expectant email reminding me to get my glog up and post!
  • The accolades for my new "thoughts on glogging" I received for my "Glog is like Photos" post.
  • Closing all my HEAT Tickets.
  • Responding to all outstanding email requests for information, help, etc.
  • Having time to help my recruiter friend Stephynie get her kid setup with a blog so they can post to their family back home on the east coast.
  • Being able to close out the last minute email request that came in right before I pressed CTRL+ALT+DEL to skip out early - better than having to look at in the morning.
  • A quick conversation with an old college friend that lives here in Dallas.  He's my big brother from fraternity days.  We're going to catch up over lunch on Wednesday.
  • An easy tomorrow since I got so much work done today - hopefully some time to go to the gym and maybe get a run in before work.
  • Helping Michelle set up her glog at glog.jonesthompson.com.  Hearing how I am one of 5 people that have been infected by her light and that makes me feel oddly connected to people I don't know in a weird, liberal, "woo-woo" sort of way that makes me laugh.
  • You.
