"Great Day"

Overall today went well.  I went to work and everything went okay which is always a plus.  It's about the little steps.  Mondays have been the bane of my existence recently so the real test is tomorrow.  When calling out to different clients during the day one of them ended their voice mail greeting with "Make it a great day."  This was not the first time I heard this and it definitely won't be the last.  I've heard things along these lines for years but for whatever reason I thought about more than I normally had.  Perhaps it was the tedium of the day or maybe I've already been percolating on the topic for while but whatever the reason I found myself asking the question, "what would make a 'great' day?"

If I were going to make it a great day, what would I do?  What would that day entail?  Can I even have a great day if I'm working?  Quickly I determined that I definitely need to factor work into my "great day" plans.  If my "great day" couldn't include work then that would be only two days of "greatness" a week at max.  So yes, work included, "what would make a great day?"  Again, thinking of purely the basics and trying to keep taking baby steps I need to keep things simple.

A great day would start out at a reasonable hour with me waking up before noon maybe doing something for the apartment to feel a bit productive.  I would like to eat three decent meals and go for a walk.   When I go to work, I'd like to not freak out over nothing and actually try to sincerely help those who call in to seek it rather than get annoyed.  Coming home, I'd like to eat a nice dessert, take a bath, write, and snuggle with Dave before going to bed at a reasonable hour as well.  Simple, basic.  I meet my needs and I'm still somewhat productive and I'm sane all day.  Daily sanity is a must for a "great day."

What would be even more great is if I can actually give that to myself tomorrow.  It's up to me in the end.  I need to make it that kind of day.  We'll see.  I can't feel terrible about it though it turns out to be just an okay day or even a bad day.  They happen but I can try to make it not happen, right?
