10:12am                         Writing Practice                         39°  Boise

Milo woke me up at 7am and even though I went back to bed after my ASEA, I didn't get back to sleep. I feel fine though, I got up at 8:15 after laying on my neck ball and breathing, got all cleaned up and did my SuperBrain Yoga and twisty march for five minutes and then sat down here but went straight to e-mail and then Facebook. That's two days in a row that I've allowed a deviation, I better catch and correct that or it will be a habit and I don't want my morning schedule to go that way.

Yesterday I wrote the first post for The Art of Kindness blog and posted it on FB to rave reviews. I got two comments from Practice Happiness fans so that was good. Today I'll post something from the website but begin work on the story of Hank and running out of gas on Braddock Road in 1985, which is where this all began. That's a good way to begin the story. And after that, I want to transcribe the journal pages for the suicide attempt in 1971. I wonder if I can write two books at the same time? I guess we'll find out.

Went to see the tax man yesterday and the outcome was much better than I expected. After paying the fine for no insurance, I should get back enough to pay for the state taxes or very close to it. Then I'll pay for the tax preparation of $195. So I'll get to keep most of my nest egg! I've decided to open a second savings account at the bank and deposit $50 from each of my incomes, which will be about $100 a month to go toward the taxes I'll owe next year. It will take $300 to open the account and that should work out fine by the time I have to pay next year ... I should have over $1500 saved up for taxes but I'll have to leave the original $300 in there to carry over. I'll also continue to save in my regular account every month and hope that grows, too. I'll have income from teaching classes and maybe even coaching or session work as I go along. And then writing books. My retirement is starting to look pretty good these days and I'm just getting started!

OK, that's it for today, I'm going to get going on The Art of Kindness post and then find something to do today. It's sunny and supposed to get over 50° this afternoon, I may take my camera out and have fun before the gym.
