Tuned In!

My body arched as I stretched my rested limbs out, one leg at a time, my body awakening for a new day, I ritually swung round my arm to reach for my phone, as expected the alarm was just about to go off, but my body clock has been tuned in recently so I haven't had to listed to that annoying tune, that starts me in a bad mood rather than good.
I've been moving fast on my feet today, a quick shower, a quick cup of tea and a really perky drive to work. I sung loud and (in tune) for one, bobbing to the lyrics and smiling at passers by. I let cars pull out in front of me today, and I smiled at the people that threatened to run out in front of my car, lucky I predicted their move, I slammed on every time, saving them from horrendous pain, and I just smiled.
In work I did two things at once all day today, the guest chair in my office was never empty, there was always a voice from the doorway asking me questions at the same time I was calculating money, whilst offering advice to an employee about the most recent project they were involved in. As someone started to speak I would stretch out my arm and hand then the document they needed, before they even asked, I would remind someone not to forget something that they had already forgotten, and likewise that I had forgotten but it had re entered my head at the perfect moment.
Today was a god day. Last week I was sick, next week I will probably be sick, this week I was tuned in. It feels good to take control, bite the bullet get up of the couch and get dressed, it helps to make the dinner, do some shopping, and invite guests round, meaning I had to clean the house. Getting on with life is living. To stop and do nothing is nothing more than existing. Today I was tuned in.
