So, I’ve been working on this on for quit some time now and it’s only now that I feel like I’m getting the hang of things. I get easily distracted in the morning so I don’t watch tv in the morning until I’m dressed, prayed, bag at the door, hair world ready—I might catch a bit of NY1. Otherwise the 1st 1/2 hour is silent so that I can move from one task to the other without stopping to watch an interesting report. A little music in the background and notes to remind me of what my next step in my “getting to work on time” plan helps a lot. I woke up a little late today and still got to work on time today. This has been the case for a few weeks now. This is such a big issue for me that I’m reluctant to say I’ve mastered this challenge. I think that this is something that I’ll be working on forever…
I get so down with work and a lack of a love life that I forget to be joyful in this moment, and not wait for the perfect moment other there, but to stand right here in this one. I want to change that. I know in my heart that happiness is a skill that some folks—me, have to work harder at feeling and being. I want to be reminded everyday of this fact.
