Things I have done in the last 24 hours–
1. Counted the number of crystals on the chandelier I hung yesterday
There are 407. I intend to write about why this is significant later, when I have more time.
2. Dreamed that I was at a restaurant or place called The Whole Spirit
This is important to me because it describes how I want to live the rest of my life–whole, not fragmented.
3. Helped a friend relocate and hook up their DVR box
4. Hung this mirror for some friends, whom I worked for the entire afternoon and evening
The rest of this list refers to things that happened at their place.
5. Realized that someone besides my mother reads my blogs and remembers them
The below picture, a six-pack of beer labeled “Two Beer Marcus–or Whatever” is what I found in my friends’ refrigerator this afternoon and refers to one of the very first blogs I wrote, #24. You can read it here. (The very top picture tonight is of two of the bottle caps. One says, “An honest day’s work might take days.” The other says, “Sweat is the cologne of success.” Since I sweat a lot, I guess this makes me successful.)
6. Ate half of this half of a whole chicken
7. Repaired this ceiling
9. Took down this awning–
and two others like it.
10. Crawled in a dumpster–
to organize the trash inside. (And you thought YOU were a neat freak.)
11. Laughed a lot
Things I have NOT done in the last twenty-four hours–
1. Changed the oil in my car
2. Flossed
3. Eaten an apple
4. Seen a shooting star
5. Gotten laid
6. Been worried or concerned about how my life will turn out
7. Ended my blog in the usual way

You can’t pick and choose what you receive from life, and you can’t always accurately label something as bad.
