A couple of weeks ago the leaves on the tree in my front yard changed color and fell. It's about time I thought, it's January!
This fall the leaves were behind schedule, and they got me thinking. I can relate to those leaves. I feel like I am always behind on my list of things to do. I almost always get "the list" done, but I'm usually behind schedule.
You know what? Even though the leaves were late we still went out and played in them. They were still fun, and they still looked pretty scattered across that green grass. Hearing them crunch under our feet was still so satisfying.
So I am turning over a new leaf (no pun intended). From now on when I sit at the end of another long day and look at my to-do list only halfway completed, I am not going to beat myself up. I am going to get up the next day and do the next item on the list. And when it's crossed off I will still find satisfaction in it's completion. Late or Not!

That is what I learned to do after Gracie was born. In reality "the list" is endless, so I have just a few things that I need to get done a day and make sure those get done. When I do it, I feel great. Like I accomplished everything.
Yeah! You figured it out early. It took me til I was about 35 to realize thats the way its suppose to be to enjoy life. You will be more content letting a few things slide and enjoying the "fun" in the day. There is always going to be a list, but there is not always going to be little people around. (unless your me and have endless children ranging from 3 to 20)
I knew that typo would bug you, you are so funny. Thanks I like your hair too. While we were at dinner I kept looking at your hair and thinking how cute it is.
