Baby Steps

One of my new years resolutions was to accomplish something every day.  This doesn't neccesarily mean something huge.  It just means to accomplish anything.  There are days when I just can't seem to get anything done.  Either there is so much to do, I'm overwhelmed, or I just get a little lazy and think maybe tomorrow I'll do it. 

Working from home gives me the flexibility to dress or not, shower or not, clean or not, but it does nothing for the spirit.  On the days when I decide to just schlup (is this a word?) around, I feel unsuccessful, lost, low and discouraged.  I have also found that if I have too much on my to do list (I am a list freak) I get a bit overwhelmed to get it all done. 

Today, I decided to try something new.  I woke up and as usual my first thought was, Ugh, maybe I can continue my dream where I left off.  Then I opened my eyes and just lay there for a minute gathering my thoughts for the moment.  I didn't go over everything I needed to accomplish, but just thought about what I needed or wanted to do at that moment.  I decided to say my Rosary as I try to do everyday.  Once I finished, I decided to get into the shower and get ready early.  As I was showering, I realized that I had accomplished two things this morning.  I thought about what my next step would be.  I did my hair and make-up and then made my way to the computer to check emails. 

Now I am sitting here writing this post.  Another accomplishment.  I'm sure to most people this is not a big deal but for someone who has trouble staying on track, this is huge and I'm gonna continue taking ONE BABY STEP AT A TIME.
