Challenge Accepted!
My ten-minute newsletter. NO meeting tomorrow, May 15.
I set my watch timer for 10 minutes and plan to post this no matter how far I’ve gotten in 10 minutes.
I’m on another Big A Adventure, this time in the beautiful city of San Diego, attending a conference of the Association for Applied and Therapeutic Humor (AATH.org)
I arrived yesterday morning at 7:am and immediately checked in to my hotel room - what a blessing!
I fell in love with Coronado Island after visiting for the first time last December, so I set out to visit the Hotel Del Coronado yesterday before the conference began this morning. I had an amazing day exploring “The Del” and eating my way through Coronado Island! I got back to the hotel and went to dinner with my nephew. He’s wonderful company.
By the time I went to sleep, I had been up for over 20 hours! I also walked over 10 miles yesterday on my excursion. Today, my feet hurt.
My Big A Adventure is definitely visiting San Diego and attending this conference!
My little a adventure is extreme fatigue. This is a jam-packed conference anyway, and I am beginning day 1 at the tired level I normally am by day 3. My mission is going to be to find mini-moments of refreshing! I am my own best client.
I have three minutes left on my timer.
