procrastina- ation... isn't there a lil' diddy about this?
so, i have these progress reports to work on and i set aside most of today for this. i have found many little jobs around the house, phone calls to return, errands to run, friends to see, and my day is nearly done. i'm not so good at getting things started. i did hear that Grey's Anatomy won't be on tonight (b/c of basketball - bleh!) so i guess that gives me a little more time that i could use. if i don't get some serious work done on these tonight i'll have to give up time from next weekend to do them. my sister is coming in from out of town next weekend, maybe i'm saving up some of this work to be the "perfect excuse" for bowing out of some of the potentially tough family time. hmmm... or maybe i'm just interested in other things right now. i need to get to work. i would rather be walking or napping or dancing, or reading, or napping. i'm so tired. i'm happy ;) and tired.
did i mention how much more peaceful and content i'm feeling these days? the uncertainty of my future - mainly my job - is still here, but i'm okay. i'm back to feeling like myself again. this is such a good thing. it feels good to be me. i will plan and take my summer trip. i will relax and take each day as it comes. i will find joy in the small moments. i will keep on laughing and smiling. i will be grateful for the beauty in my life. i am so blessed. there are people who care about me. i have the opportunity to touch lives and connect with others around me.
