just do it

I saw the early morning sky just about an hour ago. The finger nail shape of the moon is up above. No rain cloud visible but the sky is not as clear as it suppose to be.

The breathe of fresh cool air entered my body, it is not cold, it is refreshing. Like a cool glass of water after a night long sleep. I felt energized just to be a few feet away from my door, outside, wondering what might this await me.

Looking forward to the grandness without expectations.

Well, this calls for planning as well as my mind goes through several ideas at a time and as much as I want to go through with each of them I just have to prioritize and do it.

The latest courageous act was to make my own Duck Confit. I made a batch for the New Year’s day dinner. I must admit that it was excellent. It cost a lot but it paid off with all the duck and duck fat, I have quite an amount of left over for meals beyond the first week of this New Year.

New year for me starts on this very day! The 20th of March was when I entered into these God given abundance of life. From this day on back, it’s been a really wild, fun and interesting ride. I look forward to a bright and even brighter future. For that to happen, only the present would be it’s deciding factor and each day begins with the anticipation of what unfolds in a given day.

As this new year starts before me, these few activities remain to be very interesting. I want to continue to do these things for the rest of the years that would come. I feel a very positive energy when I am immersed in their detailed functions. I find them to be the worth of my existence and the real wealth that I create for myself and for others to enjoy. They are the reflection of who I am and for those who know me, they know what they are.

As I ride around ‘my’ city today, I am very much content and satisfied on what I’ve seen and the rest of the world I have yet to see, as it is, as it comes, as it reveals itself.

Should be that easy. It is that easy.

Last night I thought about my work and did some advance planning. I feel good now that I have accomplished those things before noon. Now, the rest of the day is mine.

Basically, I’ve been really bad missing out on other things to do, except for bike building and reading. I guess that is not bad at all. but I need to budget time for everything I need to do… heh! ...to be sane. I like it. I also like the spontaneity. But I have to discipline myself otherwise I won’t get things done.

Last night, I had a simple goal of polishing a bike component before I go to bed. It was almost midnight, but I pushed myself to do it… and so it was done. I felt better and slept better. It feels really great to accomplish a task.

Spontaneity vs Priority

This is killing me. There is a balance to this system, right?!
