potential energy 1

Hello!

I managed to get the car inspected and to finish up reports so I could get paid-yipeee.  Now I need to keep on going with all of the other things  I am responsible for.  Today I am going to try the 10- 15 min. work block approach.  I have so many 1st priorities.

Two absolutely have to get done today

insurance,

a.b.

LOL

"I have so many 1st priorities"

Haha - me too, always, but I never heard it put this way. Thanks for the grin!

Agnus checking in - been a long time

but I'm back...showing up.  Actually been doing fairly well - but haven't been contributing experience, strength, hope here, so I want to change that. I've been busy balancing bimonthly MomCare visits with J-care, work, household care and my own recovery programs, working the 12 Steps with supportive friends on my sleep avoidance, people pleasing and workaholism. I got some major paper backlogs cleared out the last few weeks and am making good progress.

I suspect that my compulsive procrastination is so demand-sensitive that the very act of writing a "to-do list" generates demand resistance. So I'll just say I'm working steadily on a wish list I jotted this morning in prayer, and it's time now for lunch! ;-)

(Agnus)

Missed you  and your experience, strength and hope, thanks for showing up again, Vic

Show up (done), think it through, more right actions.

the cla literature talks about "divine time" I hope to make my HP my time manager today instead of me.

"Because we believed our problem was poor time management, many of us consulted experts. We hoped they'd show us how we could gain more time by becoming more efficient, but this proved counterproductive. Organizing, when used rightly, is valuable; however, our self-will only encouraged our greed and expanded our time clutter. We filled the time saved with even more activities, and the result was less time.

 

Our lifelong problem wasn’t time scarcity; it was lack of spiritual connection. We had tried to manage time, an impossible task. Clock time is incomplete and divine time is beyond our comprehension. By using rest, availability, receptivity, emergence, and recognition, we cooperate with spiritual timing. We let the Master Artist sculpt us anew with each divine appointment. Our Higher Power is now our time manager."

 

Thanks for being here.

Time
is an equal opportunity employer.  Each human being has exactly the
same number of hours and minutes every day.  Rich people can't buy more
hours.  Scientists can't invent new minutes.  And you can't save time
to spend it on another day.  Even so, time is amazingly fair and
forgiving.  No matter how much time you've wasted in the past, you
still have an entire tomorrow.  ~Denis Waitely
