Hi Kathy: I know what you mean. When I worked for the Panama Canal what you just described sounds a lot like what my looked like.

Hi Evelyn: Today I took some time out of my day right out of the blue to go see my two little nephews

I love your list!! I like the idea of planning to do less, for more. I try not to put too many activities on my schedule nowadays, allowing time for new stuff to crop up. In the New Year, I am also specifically dedicating more time for meditation.

Mare ~
Getting up earlier was definitely a turning point in my life. However, crowding my day used to be a HUGE issue for me. (Getting up earlier was at first just a way to try to crowd MORE into my day!) I was always trying to slip in ‘just one more’ task. It took me a while to realize that the ‘one more thing’ ALWAYS took longer than I thought it would AND it usually made me late for something important.

Yes, I USED to be the jerk who was honking like mad in traffic. In those days – I was late – you weren’t. I was trying to fit 10 pounds of activities into a 5 lb bag and I wasn’t pleased with the results.

I can still remember the feelings that accompanied that stress. I must admit, there are times that stress creeps back into my daily routine and I can usually trace it back to reverting back to “crowding” my day.

Great reminder! I think I’ll brew a glass of green tea to celebrate my current (but very fragile) “recovery”.
