34% & Counting

Hmmm... I didn't plug in my laptop to charge overnight and here I am in Starbucks with only 34% battery life and no electrical cord!!! I'm going to have to type fast and get a few blogs done before it fizzles on me. While 34% might seem like a lot (like maybe an hour), in truth it's more like 1/2 hour because the computer shuts down at about 15% or so... Guess it needs some power to actually shut down!

That will teach me to pay more attention to what I'm about, rather than getting distracted by things. On the flip side, it will give me a chance to read a few things that are riding around in my office bag... so I can put the time here to good use... I find that in most cases, we can always put the time to good use. Waiting in traffic... waiting at a doctor's office... waiting for a friend to show up... waiting for whatever it might be... When plans change due to circumstances beyond our control, we can lament and bemoan the fact, or we can go with the flow and find something else to do... something else to take our time... There are all sorts of possibilities out there... we just need to know where to look and be open to possiblities showing up out of the blue...
