Around 8:30 this morning I was thinking about how much I had to do today; or how much "burden" I had. I started to feel bad for myself and wallow (gasp!)
Then I realized how much I had already accomplished by this hour of the day because I didn't have a choice. They were just the things that were part of my routine or items that were injected into my day by outside forces ... meaning I didn't have a choice! This is when I became more confident in my ability to get everything done (well most everything)! I took a minute and thought about what I had done having been up for about three hours:
- showered
- shaved
- made bed
- did some work "work"
- made an unplanned trip to the high school
- talked to my dad
- talked to my fiance
- got interrupted while on the phone by my dad calling again, so talked to dad again
- called the fiance back
- made German Pancake batter
- ate breakfast
- made breakfast for my youngest
- cleaned the kitchen
- went back to my work "work"
- and now ... I'm blogging
And shortly before writing this entry, I realized ... It's even more amazing what you can accomplish when you have goals/dreams and a plan (with margin built in for those things that might get "injected" into your day). The rest of my day is planned out, I don't feel quite as overwhelmed (thought there is a lot to do still) and I can't wait to look back on today and count my accomplishments!
Have a great day!
