tomorrow is another day.....
Ever thought about the power of "a new day". I have always appreciated it, coveted it really.......it's the opportunity to start fresh, have another 24 hours to get things done, a day closer to something exciting or a day ahead of something gone tragically wrong. Whatever the reason for it....I LOVE IT.
Time was that I had a list of things to do and if I didn't get them all done I would "do it tomorrow". There is ALWAYS tomorrow. I'd take whatever I didn't get done today, role it over to the next list and so on. Friday would be clean up day and if I did a good enough job through the week, I may be able to be done early on Friday. Those were the days. Nowadays it's a little different. I am trying to get rid of lists all together. Haven't done it yet, but am looking into it as a goal.
It seems that with a baby a list should only consist of one thing--maybe laundry or better yet, color my hair. I don't know if I would even consider that a "list". I mean, it's one thing. I have tried to do many things, but most of the time, I just get overwhelmed with what goes undone. Then what doesn't get completed roles to the next day and at the end of the week my list is longer than when it started. It feels pretty defeating.
Last Thursday ( yep--Thanksgiving Day) Biscuit gave us her first real big grin. It was pretty incredible. Makes the lack of sleep, diapers and craziness worth it. Maybe that should be my list. Food, check, diapers, check, watch an angel smile.......and check.
I still haven't shed my planner and lists, probably never will. I still am trying to schedule cleaning closets, my dog training facebook page and when I will put out a new training menu. I also am trying to add some clothing alterations and some art projects--so far I've managed to maintain dental hygiene and an occasional shower, those weren't really on the list.
When it comes to lists and how it relates to my days, I think I am realizing I need a slightly different perspective. A lot of us do. There are in fact always more tomorrows, but the problem is that when they come, they come fast--too fast. If I am constantly worrying about my list and what I need to put on tomorrow's list, I am really missing out on today and everything it has to offer me. When I think about how many "tomorrows" have passed, I think I would like to spend more time in "today". Tomorrow's are wonderful, but you waste precious time longing for them to make haste.
Today, a friend is wishing you would call instead of cleaning, the day is beckoning for a walk instead of vacuuming up those dust bunnies..........and for me, the sweetest 6 week old is trying to show me a smile. It may be a real smile, it may be gas ( that is likely--she is impressive), but it is so much more important than anything I have to do. And, if I keep checking my list, I might miss it.
I will get to my projects, I will develop my business and I WILL get my hair done...........someday........heck, writing my blog was on my list and you see how long that took.

When I first started reading this, all I could think about was Scarlet O'Hara ("tomorrow is another day") and that's a great movie so thanks for the smiles.
ReplyDeleteI believe this struggle is the hardest for moms. I had a mini melt-down (passing out and all sorts of fun adventures) when the first was about 8 or 9 months old... all likely because of the things that weren't getting done that I felt like I was getting behind.
Now feed the baby, brush your teeth, put on some clothes - and done. You did what you needed to get done today! :o)
