The Wild Ride........Also known as Business as Usual

It is always SOMETHING. Usually something unexpected, unwanted, or at least inconvenient. Those things that come along to interrupt the "natural" flow of our lives. The "little" things that waste our time, prevent us from doing what we "should" be doing.

These things come in infinite forms:

The spilled cup of coffee that makes us late for work.
The Child who cannot find their other shoe and the one the did find is on the wrong foot.
The unexpected phone call at 2 am from a friend going through a divorce.
The ATM that eats your card, leaving you with no access to YOUR money.

You get the picture.

All of these, and many other things, are as much a part of our lives as the things that we "plan" to do.

They take our list of priorities and scramble them up into a Denver Omelet burnt around the edges.
What we intend to do, and what we actually get done are often two VERY
different lists.

After a few months with no internet and limited to no phone ability, I am BACK online and on the phone. My list just grew by leaps and bounds. I will never "catch up" but I will still try. Don't we all try, and often try again to get "the list" done? As we add more things to the list, usually faster than we are getting them done. But of course that does not stop us from trying.

So, TODAY I will TRY to knock a few things off my list. This Blog is one of hundreds of things on that list. BUT I just scratched one thing off!! Now what next? Do the dishes? Call Mom? Sort Laundry? Go grocery shopping? Take a nap? Find that shoe........
