Each day is deceptive really. You think at the beginning of the day there is so much to do
You list of all the things you need to get done, as you lie in your bed, forcing your eyelids to ‘stay open’.
You mentally count off each thing, the weight of their worth etching into your mind the thought of time it will take to accomplish.
As you mentally tick off this and that you remember that one thing which suddenly flings you straight out of the bed, the energy of the thought echoing inside your head
That THIS is the day you must accomplish/go to/company coming/ whatever the marker is you’ve been working toward.
Then there you are, moving quickly and solidly and thoroughly through your day
The extraordinary happens!
All we have to do is look.
From my world to your heart!
Linda







I’m sure I don’t get out of bed as quickly as you do at ‘the thought’, but I completely understand your description of that time before I am fully awake.

This is SO true! I also find that time seems to warp and shift. Things that I think will take ages, get done quickly and vice versa. And days I think will go badly don’t…and vice versa. It’s good to have lists…but to keep the expectations in check. At any rate, we get to the end of the day, and collapse gratefully into bed, don’t we?

I live by lists also. I thought after I retired I won’t, but I think my make-up is list oriented.
