Today

Good morning, God, and thank you very much for this new day.  It's early in the morning, but I've been up for two and a half hours already.  I really do like getting up early and getting a lot of work done--I think people would be surprised to find out just how quiet and peaceful the morning hours are.  So many of the evening and night hours are filled with constant noise and conflict, and I have no problems at all going to bed early and trading those night hours for the relaxing early-morning hours.

So far, my summer break has been pretty productive, and you know that that's how I like it to be.  I have fun doing things, I enjoy creating things and working on things, so being productive to me isn't any extra pressure at all, especially since I'm not working with any deadlines or people telling me what I have to do.  I'm doing things on my own and in my own time, and that's quite enjoyable.  So thanks much for the opportunity to do so.

With this new today, I hope to do something interesting and/or constructive, so if you're able to help out with that at all, I'd really appreciate it!  In any case, thanks very much for the day in general, and please be with me as I go through it--the more I can keep my mind on you and love, the more I can do for others and the more I can contribute, even in what seem to be small and insignificant ways.
