As I
was trying to go to sleep last night I pondered the fact that it was going to
be Thursday tomorrow and where had the week gone. It was a short week because
of the Fourth of July. What had I accomplished?
As I
started to beat myself up mentally about not getting anything off my to-do
list, I had an epiphany of sorts. Why was I doing this? I may not have
accomplished those necessary evils on my list, but I did have accomplishments.
Yesterday was a great day. I had lunch with my daughter and she treated! I also
played pickleball (not well) with my family and had exercise and fun at the same
time. Those things are important, but we rarely celebrate them or put them on
the list of things to be done.
As I laid there, I vowed, first to write about this, and
second, to do more of the celebrating the things that matter. I’m not burning my
to-do list, but it won’t be the top motivational factor. Funny thing, after deciding that, sleep was
easy.
