Morning,

Today I awakened

and realized, my gosh, I feel like I’ve been run over by a herd of elephants followed by 17 steamrollers followed by a horde of toddlers who spied the FREE ICE CREAM! sign at their local preschool followed by….

So I made myself a huge breakfast, sat down, and took stock of my condition. Undeniable facts:

I’m only one person

I’m the only one who can build what’s needed

I need time for myself as well

I have to pace myself

I need to be on mom-duty in the evenings

and here are my wants

I want to have my projects finished yesterday

I want to always be available for my kids and husband

I want to spar in the adult class

I want to be able to survive on 6 hours of sleep

Applying the “needs” to the “wants”….and it looks like I have to cut down on my work load. Nobody ever whispered to their loved ones while on their death bed

“If only I had spent more time on the computer!”

So moderation is the theme for me today. I’ll give my body a break from the workout I normally do (or perhaps just do it later today)… and go into non-frantic, calm, methodical work mode. No time limits; we’ll see how that mental readjustment works out. I’ve put on my houserobe and fuzzy socks and will just….try to take it easy.

So! My wisdom for today - listen to your body and turn on a dime whenever needed. You’ll be much better off for it.

Enjoy,

Barbara
