Early Doors

Like most people, I returned to work today. To say that I found it tough was an understatement, so the less said about my aching shoulder and the scratch on my car, the better. I was still struggling after lunch, so after my mid afternoon meeting I decided to go home early - the first time I have done so for many, many months. But as my desk was clear, and things were still slow on the first day back, I felt justified.
And that decision transformed my day!
As I walked outside I was greeted by a spectacular sky. It was so nice to leave when it was still light and - especially after the last few weeks- not to get saturated in the process.
I went straight to the gym, working out for 50 minutes, and then came home and cooked a nutritious dinner, packed with vegetables, followed by fruit for desert. By 7pm I was showered, and in my PJs, feeling pleasantly full and laying on the couch, watching a mystery.
I felt transformed.
