Happy New Year!

My usual MO is to detail the events of the day.  That usually turns out pretty boring.  So, maybe if I put a green hat on, this blog will become a little more inneresting.  Maybe.


The thoughts I think tend to be about what I "should" be doing.  I'm continually "shoulding" all over myself!  I can't stop!  Right now I'm thinking about something else I "should" be doing.  And when I go to do that, I will prolly tell myself, "I 'should' be blogging!"  It's a wonder I ever get anything done.  I become so overwhelmed by the things I'm not doing, that I feel like I'm doing less.

But I try to always do at least one thing.  Maybe it's tidy the kitchen.  Play the guitar for more than 5 minutes.  Make that long phone call I've been putting off.  Do a project for the FSP.  Go for a walk.  Cook a delicious meal.  Make love.

I'm learning patience with myself.  It seems that everything I do now takes four times as long as it used to.  What used to take 5 minutes, now takes 20.  At first it was frustrating, but now I pretty much go with the flow.  I don't want to rush my routine, and besides, I'm not going anywhere in a hurry, am I?  Sure, I have things to do, but it's nice to be able to stop and smell the roses.  I seem to have that luxury now.  

So yeah, that's my dilemma.  I "should" on myself half the time and the other half, lie back and enjoy l'eau de rose.
