At each moment, I can forgive myself and make a new start.

Happy Monday - I'm getting a very slow start today.   I'm tired from working over the weekend, so I overslept, which turned out to be a good thing because I was home to get a distress call from my daughter.   She just found out that one of her friends committed suicide over the weekend so she was quite distraught.   I am sad too of course but I barely knew the kid and she was very close with him in the past.   So I was late to work - although I did get in a half hour of an exercise video before the phone call.  

I have done the agenda for my regular Monday noon meeting but I bailed on the actual meeting.   I don't skip the meeting very often but I think today is good day to miss it.  

I'm making to do list for the rest of the day now and I'll check back if I get stuck, which is fairly likely.  Have a good day all.

Thanks chickadee for the inspiring starter.

Finished an outstanding project on Friday, but that has left me wondering what I am going to work on next AND where is more work coming from? some anxiety about this and also about a mistake I made with a major client that is likely to have repercussions.

The weekend was good; lots of socialising and time with my husband :)

I will do my work list for the week now and try to remember that often things don't turn out as badly as I fear they will.
