"TO DO"



A scary word ~ prioritize


where to begin

how to decide

hang on to my coattails

we're goin' for a ride


that list sure is growing

way out of control

clean out my closets

or deep feed my soul


fold all the laundry 

take a long nap

tackle my taxes

or learn how to 'rap'


resolutions calling

full of good cheer

 but let us get real

i'm thinking next year

  4. Hmm, well I just did a 30-min. yoga session to prove to myself how stiff I am. Your pose at the top made me think of that. I don't make resolutions anymore but it's still a good time to regroup. And do yoga!! Happy New Year.

  6. Great photo of you . To do or not to do,that is the question...Now if you could find a way to deep feed your soul,fold the laundry and clean out the closets all at the same time ....extreme multi tasking might be the answer.....on second thoughts taking a long nap is a much better idea:)

  7. One prioritization rule that works for me: Which item will be the most fun to cross off the list? E.g., for the list in this poem, the taxes. I don't always have the discipline to cross off those items first, but it feels great when I do.
