Just Do It...

It's raining today... hard and steady.   That sort of changes my plans for the day.  But maybe it will be a good thing.   Maybe I will actually stay in and get my house cleaned and organized today.  Of course, I am taking a minute to sit here, finish my cup of coffee and write on this blog.   Hopefully when I am done, I will get right to work and accomplish some things!  I'm feeling a bit better than I did yesterday... I was kind of down in the dumps about life.  Today I have decided to really think about my goals in life and begin taking the steps to reach them.   My most immediate goal, however, is to get my house straight and organized....  Haha, that should take about a year! The laundry is looming also, and since I have not fixed my washer, I will be making another trek to the laundromat at some point today...  THAT is not going to be pleasant in the rain! 

Anyway, I have got to get myself out of this funk that I have been in, and make the best of my situation.  Afterall, I DO have a job-- even if it is not my ideal job.  I DO have a home-- even if it is an utter trash pit right now.  I DO have wonderful children -- even if they drive me nuts sometimes.  I DO have a good life!  I need to enjoy it!  I need to remember what is important to me and not worry about the things that are not working as well as I want them to right now.   I will make the changes that I want to make, but I have to take things one step at a time.  I have stop letting myself get bogged down by focusing on everything at once...  It has paralyzed me.   I cannot let that happen.   I have let myself get overwhelmed.  I need to break things down into more manageable pieces.  Clean the house. Fix my credit. Get D caught up on his Doctor visits.  Register for the classes I need to take.  Network.  Get health insurance.  Eat better.  Take care of my body.  Take care of my mind.  Spend quality time with my children.  Fix my washer! Etc.   These things are not listed in order of importance...  I just need to break things down into more manageable bits.   Then I need to actually DO them.   My To Do List is long and overwhelming.   I have just got to stop allowing myself to be overwhelmed by it.  Instead of thinking about it, I need to get up off my butt and DO IT.  Okay, here I go....  Wish me luck! :)
