What is a productive day?
Had an exceptional day here in Vegas. After two great shows last night we had a little dinner, i usually don’t eat before a show, something about playing for your food still resonates with me. i came back to my suite and watched another episode of Dexter…i hate you Netflix.
But today! today was fantastic. i, along with a few other parent volunteers, publish our elementary school’s yearbook and today was a very productive day. i’ve become quite the digital scrapbooker. But i love it! i love being involved with our kid’s school. Oh, a quick shout out to my dear friend Charles Robinson you can find out more about him at https://www.TheRedRoad.org but he came to our elementary school and participated in our Family Reading Night and read some stories to the students. The kids really dug it! But Being involved when i’m able is huge to me and i know it impacts the kids. Ya only get to do somethings once.
But i was also able to great workout in with my buddies Denny and Adam. We did these things called “Man Makers” sonofa… should be called “Man Breakers”. Weight training and cardio in one exercise. Had us gasping like K2 climbers. i love the feeling after a workout…pumped-up, satisfied, accomplished.
i got a little reading in. i try to do some everyday. Somedays i succeed, sometimes i fail but it’s on my list. i’m reading Emmet Fox’s The Sermon on the Mount, a little spiritual feeding. i’m really digging this book. It’s a little bit tougher read than i usually fall into but it does reference the Bible and that’s always been a tough read with all the “thys” and “begets” and “untos” and so on but i’m getting it! Filling!
And in a couple hours i’m gonna throw my musicial/performer/creative side a big fat T-bone. I can’t wait.
i Just feel like i could have sat in my room all day and buried myself in the yearbook responsibilities i have looming, sure i could have knocked out a lot but then my other hungers are left unnourished. Taking the time and making those little things important enough for you to give your precious minutes and seconds to is huge.
So sitting behind a screen 12 hours a day does not a productive day make in my book. Feed the rest of you, you’ll be happy you did.
Peace
Sound like you had a very productive day. Here is a website I think you will like, it is about primal eating etc http://www.marksdailyapple.com
I’ve been reading Marks blog for about a year now. Love his stuff. The new pod cast it great too.
I most listen to Abel James. The podcast is The Fat Burning Man. Great stuff.
Thank you!
Love reading your blog, Deano. Keep it up. Rock it out tonight. Love, health and safe travels. See you in May
I agree on your version of what a productive day is. A balanced life requires work, rest, worship and play (exercise falls here..lol). If you are missing any part of it, you are not likely to be happy!! Your “crazy life” sounds wonderful. Be blessed and enjoy!
Welcome to the blogging world! I’ve been enjoying it for a few years now – you can find me at “Marla’s Musings” – mfabiansc.blogspot.com. I don’t have quite the travel life you have but I enjoy music & reading like you do… perhaps on a different level. But family, music, church, reading – some of my favorite things! Keep blogging!
