Thank you for the timely reminder about the tyrannical insanity of lists.

Writing them has been a dangerous tool for me. On the helping hand, they help me see what really needs to be done, and in what order. On the harmful hand, I end up with more that one human can accomplish in a week, never mind one day.

I think next time I find a list creeping into insanity, that I’ll write one that reiterates “start a diet” interleaved with “bake more cookies” and “knit everyone a sweater designed especially for them” just to remember I am ONE person. I don’t have to do it all, be it all, have it all.

Besides, where would I put it?

Hey Jen–
Even though this is Wednesday, I love the idea of choose your life Monday. Just reading that made me feel instantly better and shift my thinking into–yes, I can choose and change my life. So, I’m choosing to be happy, healthy, peaceful, prosperous, comfortable, loving and loved. Hugs and kisses to you as I’m off to live my wonderful Wednesday. Peace. Sheilah

This week, I will lovingly notice when the line between curiosity and procrastination begin to blur.

I feel so overwhelmed with love that it is hard to write anything in response to your strong like good tea insights.

@Hiro, I’m so thankful to see your clarity in this mirror. And so glad you are getting the care you need.

@Pace, I can totally see where picking something could become like “Oh, not going to Jen’s blog cause she makes me work.” Am I just too introspective?

@Wendy, thanks for reminding me I have self-care tools, too. Why not use them?

I love reading all your words so much!

Thanks for the thought-inspiring post!

This week I will accept all the effort that I’m putting into taking care of myself, running my parents’ business while they’re away, taking care of my home and my pets, keeping up my blogging schedule, nurturing my long distance relationship, and working on various writing projects. I will accept when my body says “Hey, I need a break!” I’ll focus on my accomplishments instead of what still has to be done.
