things lately

August 28, 2015

It’s Friday and if you know me you will know each Friday is a big, big deal.  I love Fridays because I love the weekend and I love the break from work and routine.  If you also know me you will hear me so much of the time say how busy I am, how much I have to do, I write lists that I never complete because I’m also very ambitious with what I think I’m capable of doing.  I remember a while back when I was seeing a therapist she told me about how helpful lists can be.  She asked me one day to share the lists I had been making and when I shared my list she immediately said “that’s too much!”  and she explained to me how my lists should be more realistic and doable and this way I could actually complete them.  Sigh…..really?  I don’t think she knows me very well but honestly I have to admit.  She was right.  A good list is necessary for me and I don’t beat myself up when I don’t cross every little thing off, I just move it to the next day however I have to admit sometimes my lists are outrageous even still.  So I’m working on it.  Each day I work towards how to better navigate through my days.  

A couple of weeks ago I was at Target and they had these darling little planners.  I needed one, yes I NEEDED it.  Abbie helped me to pick one out and so far I love it.  I carry it in my purse and I jot down things that happen, things that I need to do, bills I have paid, bills I need to pay, appointments, birthday etc.  It turns out I NEED physical pen to paper to remember and to have some (notice the word some…not complete) success.  Because otherwise I forget.  I’m very forgetful of lots of things.  So this works for me.  No apps, not the calendar in my iPhone but a real old fashioned notebook/planner.   So these 20 minutes before I take off for my Friday at work, I felt compelled to write something, just something because in all my business and lists and working and all, I have not had much time in this space.  Which is also something I need to work on, scheduling time for me.

I want to thank you for stopping by. I appreciate you taking an interest in what I share here in this space.  I know you are very busy so it means even more when you take a moment of your time to spend it here.  I'm very grateful. I have been spending more time on You Tube and if you would like to visit there, I would love to see you.
