The Start of a Saturday
This is how I like to start a perfect Saturday.
Coffee and a list.
Organizing my day.
So much laid out ahead to do.
Projects to finish,
cleaning that needs done,
starting something new.
A list.
I love a list.
Crossing things off as they are finished,
nothing looks better than to have it done!
A sense of accomplishment.
Today though,
it comes with a sharpened perspective for me.
What is really important?
Instead of rushing headlong into this list,
I am deciding what has to be done?
and
what can wait?
What do I enjoy doing?
and
reminding myself to take my time
doing it.
Savor the moments,
All of them.
Don't get annoyed at the interruptions.
Embrace them.
Choose what it really important
and
minimize what is not.
So, it is with a heavy heart I start my day.
Friends of ours received devastating news this week.
In a family that has had more than they should bear anyway,
I grapple with the "why?"
They have been beaten and bruised,
and yet
they are such an example
to those around them.
So,
priorities shifted,
I will start my day.

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

You're a lady after my own heart: coffee and list making, although you seem much better at the cross off part.
Enjoy your Saturday.

PS: I Love my coffe. I love my lists and I LOVE organizing my day just like you! ;) I see there are many who have commented who are kindred spirits of the same!
I need to start making lists. I tend to forget what I wanted to do through out the day.
I hope you have a nice weekend Cathy!

Thank you for sharing with all of us. My prayers will be sure to include your family of friends.
I have no doubt that God will be watching out for them.
Isn't it funny how "lists" can be so comforting? For years I have made and followed them. I am sure that is what partially keeps me sane in my sometimes hetic life.
I do hope you enjoyed your weekend Cathy.
For now, please stay safe and I ask for blessings for you and yours.
Have a great week.

And I love to cross things off them even more!
Sounds like a great way to start a Saturday.
cheers
