I come into work every morning and unpack my backpack. It is as if I am nesting or setting up a satellite home. I pull out my laptop and click it into the docking station. Then I have to plug in earbuds for music and my phone to charge. I take out my vitamins, ready to swallow and a coffee Kcup and a lidded cup for water. I lay out my calendar to the right month and if there are any bills I want to pay online at lunch, I generally sit them beside the computer. I put a drop of cinnamon oil on a postit and sit it where the scent wafts towards me keeping me happy and alert. I pull out my lotion and rub some into my hands which always seem to be chapped in the winter. Lately I’m using some lotion a friend gave me called Aesop Geranium Leaf Body Balm and I just love the scent and the little feeling of indulgence because it’s VERY expensive lotion. I say a quick mental good morning and prayers for a good, safe day to the photos of my kids and my dogs. Then it is time to nip up to the 3rd floor for coffee and iced water and when I come back down I open my email and the day generally starts with a flurry. The whole thing takes less than ten minutes but somehow, unpacking a little bit of home and comfort makes my day much brighter.
