millions of mini opportunities

Life is filled with a million mini opportunities. I missed my train by 1 minute (slept through all my alarms). Instead of being upset I realized there is a wonderful opportunity. I have been putting off dealing with my car for a long time. The back seat is just packed of crap. Yes mostly it is crap. So for the 25 minutes I had before getting on the the train I seised the opportunity. I grabbed a couple plastic bags that were part of the pile of unknown mystery and made one for "need to really deal with" and trash. I emphasized primarily on the trash. now I have a clear back seat and while I didn't have a place to put the other stuff other than the floor of the back seat, it is compartmentalized and ready to go.

I am utilizing the time in the bathroom as well, right after brushing my teeth in the morning I grab a clorox wipe and wipe down the counter, my shelves, and the toilet. Giving the toilet a little swish with a brush as well. It is wonderful.

The icing on the cake for me is that last night I took a herb bath. I knew the bathroom was clean (other than what my housemates might have done) so I ran water and at the end I took the washcloth I used in the bath put some shampoo on it and wiped the tub down. Soap is Soap! Wow what a realization. No harsh chemicals and it smelled like sweet orange and it cleaned easy and rinsed easy. It took less than a fourth of the time.

I have been asleep so long. I am so grateful to be awake.
