When November starts, it seems to be a reminder of all the days that have got away from me, and things that I didn't get finished. The holiday season can be a source of pressure that builds up and by the end of December, we feel exhausted.
Again with the expectations!!
As I moved from one room to the next today, I found myself sort of lost in the amount of "things" that I know need to get accomplished. Like many people, I allow myself to become overwhelmed by the stuff that piles up, needing to be finished or done.
So as my mom-Betty says, "Just for today" I am letting it go. I picked just one thing to finish...I made my plan on how to complete the task and DID IT. Sounds kind of silly, but it worked.
The plan: Start the Christmas Pajamas for the grandkids. I got all 4 pairs of pajamas layed out and cut out. Since I concentrated on getting that done, I was able to save myself an extra hour of time, which I later used to clean the bathrooms...done after the sewing prep work was accomplished. (yes, I know...but it had to be done!)
Tomorrow is another day...dusting and dishes, laundry and floors...it will all get done...eventually! A few phone calls and the Thanksgiving plans are made...will work on the list for the market tomorrow. One day at a time...the key...be flexible and make a plan B just in case plan A falls apart.
Make a Plan...sounds simple...it should be...do not get overwhelmed with to many things at once!
And just in case you need one....HUG!
Until the next time,
Momma Turner
