Running through the list of "to-dos" before I stepped out of the warm bed into the cool air of today I did a silent whine--too much to do, to little time. Then the second thought came to me— enjoy. Stop considering all the what-ifs and woes, and embrace the day.
It's as easy as that shift of mental focus to bring light to the atmosphere. Has worry changed anything in my entire existence? Does whining make me feel any better? Heck, no. And worry and fret only keep the beauty of the day from blooming. Take this advice from a recovering-worrier—live the day. This day with snow, a massive to-do list and acres of laundry to whip into shape, also brings smiles, a little one singing at church, a performance of the Nutcracker, and food in the oven. Boy, a day doesn't get any better than this one. Hope yours is as delightful.
