The List

Submitted by Damselfly

Today my brain is spinning.  I’m walking through the house performing my usual routine.  I’m awake before 6:00 AM, big glass of water, make smoothies for Hubby and me while listening to my morning meditation, and look at “the list” for the day. 

I hear Hubby’s alarm sounding its annoying screech…. For the second time.

After finishing my smoothie, I sit at the computer to compile follow up emails to clients summarizing their nutritional strategies.  I determine I’ll swing by the gym this morning to meet with the owner and pick up my fresh eggs (thank you Gravel Run Farms!), and I’ll take Jaxon the fur-baby along for the ride to give him an adventure away from the house… and work to wear down some of his puppy energy!

Should I blog today?  Hubby’s alarm should be sounding off… and doesn’t.  Hmmm.

After I shake Hubby awake (I’m an alarm clock?), I head back to the computer.  Yes, I’ll blog… After I take Jaxon out for his morning constitution.

I revel at the skill of my multi-tasking.  It is my super power.

While looking at my list for the day, I realize that my multi-tasking determines my flow.  I can move from task to task almost like a dance.  I use “the list” to check off each step made through the day.  With each task checked, my brain spinning slows down.  What is my greatest challenge? Assure I build a list I can manage! 

Keep it simple?

Today won’t be a “simple” day, but it will be a good day.  I have the power to make each day a good day.  I can be happy and satisfied with my life.  My choice.  I look at my list now with a sense of accomplishment of what I have already achieved in only the first hour of my day. 

The washing machine is now churning away (another check on the list). 

I will use my list for good and not evil.  I will remain positive in mind and spirit, grateful for the physical ability to complete these tasks uninhibited.  As my brain comes in to a more comfortable spin, and is no longer a distraction, I can move on today. 

Today is wonderful.  Check.
