Time

I was just thinking to myself and wondering where the time goes? I sometimes feel like I don't get enough accomplished. This morning was no different.  However, I did 'STOP' for a moment and realize that 'you can't do everything' at the same time!!

I started out this morning with the definite need to do some exercise on the treadmill. I did watch the news while I was working out.  Oh yes, before I GOT TO THE TREADMILL, I sorted through some clothes that needed to be washed. John's dirty clothes basket was beginning to overflow - that is always a good sign that it is time to do a wash!! So, before I could get onto the treadmill, I had some sorting out to do.  Alright....now back on the treadmill. Half an hour later, I am upstairs and turning on the computer. (Not a good idea).  However, I did see a message about my meeting tonite that I need to meet our guest speaker at 7 pm as our other leader will not be able to attend the meeting. No problem. I responded quickly. The next email was not so easy. One of our leaders is dealing with a dying parent and will not be able to come to our Thur nite meeting. Another email to encourage and question whether we should cancel the meeting. That will take a few hours to get a response to.

Meanwhile, I decide to try and do my Devotions and review last night's group meeting about the Holy Spirit. I did feel His prompt to read some scripture and my intentions were good. Some reading accomplished and notations made and an update about some of the prayer requests we have been praying about were completed. However, in the back of my mind, I had this nigling thought that I need to get hold of the lady I am going with to the weekend conference. I need to confirm timing, etc. That sidetracked me as I did not have the phone number handy and needed to make a phone call to someone else to get it. In the meantime, I also decided to send an email to someone who could give me the same information.  About 15 minutes later, I found the number I was looking for in my own phone book and made the call! Of couse, she was out until after lunch.  So....one item is on the backburner until later. I wasn't able to 'check off' that one as easily as I had hoped.

Beep, beep, beep, beep. That's my washing machine telling me that the first load is finished. Ok, downstairs to hang things up and put the rest in the dryer. Now, sort through the darks and get that going.  Back upstairs I go to get my breakfast started. Maybe I should have my 2nd cup of coffee now while I have the chance. Yes,,,,goood idea.

It has crossed my mind that I need to get out of my workout clothes and have a shower as I do have a meeting at 12:30 with a lady I met only once. She is going through a difficult time in her marriage so I agreed to meet with her to 'talk'. She said she just needed someone to pray with so I figured I could at least do that with her. I have two hours left but 3/4s of an hour is showering and doing my hair. I really should backtrack that time so I can be 'on time'.

Oh there goes the phone. ATB wanting some information. That took 10 minutes. Anyway, I really do need to get off this computer and get on with my day. I know, I know. You are saying, why did you even bother stopping to do this blog.  Well....it is because it is relaxing! Helps me sort through what my schedule is and gives me a 'breather' in many ways. It doesn't make sense but it works for me.

Oh, oh, ...now....what am I going to wear?
