Not Deviating From My Priorities

   Good evening everyone,

Did you have fine Friday?  My day was busy, fulfilling, productive, and fun. It was a day where my business grew and I had hung out with a friend after work. We saw a great movie.

   This week, I've been retiring late and rising early.  I'm weary. To bed, I'm heading, after penning this post. I'm bushed.  This post is a labor of love.

    Tomorrow, I will hear someone share her story at a community event. This is a woman I've been getting to know for the past month and a half.  Before doing anything Saturday, I will rest. I'm mentally and physically frazzled.

     I met with two new clients today, along with seeing established clients. Absorbing a person's history, depletes me.  My bed is beckoning me, as I write the silent words before you.

My Gratitudes for Today: 
1.  I love good movies.  Tonight, I saw one. I"m glad I had fun with a friend.
2. I experienced disappointment this morning. I didn't allow it to upset my mood. I adapted to what troubled me.
3. I kept my equanimity when pressed on all sides today. People who were not on my schedule approached me, pleading for my help, a help I couldn't muster today.  I'm overjoyed that I did not allow the urgent to crowd out the critical things that needed my attention today.

How About You? 
What helps you to stay on task with your priorities?

I write down tiny, baby steps and give myself rewards for jobs finished.

This week I had to do some changes to my thesis so it's ready for publishing. I finished all the tasks with ease. I bought myself the new Ben Howard album as a reward. Yes!
