1:09 PM: Well, the early rise endeavor was short lived. Really would like to give it an honest go, but no such luck or execution this day. I will vehemently extract joy from the day, nonetheless.
4:30 AM: For whatever reason, it is far easier to recall my intent to extract fun from the day than it is to be grateful. It comes more easily than gratitude when I begin to twist and tighten from the inside out in resistance to whatever I find unfair, nonsensical, or unduly burdensome in the moment. The notion of having fun tends to untwist the strands of animosity, and then I can remember to be grateful. It also makes it easier to let go of the righteous indignation leading to whatever situation I’m fittin up to spite rape.
