Today was another grey and cloudy day. I ran out for two quick errands and then home to do the weekend chores. I managed to get most of the laundry completed, but didn't get much else done. That leaves more for tomorrow than I'd planned. Hopefully the day will see more transpire than today.
Some days I have good intentions -- and we know what they say about good intentions <sigh>. I move slowly on such days and am easily distracted. Neither attribute helps me complete tasks. Maybe I need to learn from my feline friend -- rest judiciously and play as needed. Some days have more play and some days have more rest. I must be the way of things. Trying to find a rhythm to keep forward movement, even if very slow, can be tricky some days. Like today, I can wake and then seem to nod off multiple times over the next 30 minutes or more. Getting out of bed becomes a major effort. That should be my notification that the day will have more rest and less work or play. Maybe then I'd feel less frustrated with not completing as much as planned. I have come to terms with my 'to do' list that it is really for a week not just the weekend. Also, it is more aspirational than obligatory. <smile> Now if I could get my brain around that a bit more, maybe I wouldn't feel the need to chastise myself for not doing what was on the list. Hmmm. That one will take some work I'm sure.
Lyrics of the song shared present similar ideas to my thought processes today. Aiming for perfection may leave us feeling 'less than' more often than not. Giving ourselves permission to do the best we can at any point in time could help, as long as we understand that our best will vary from day to day. <smile>. Keep safe. Enjoy!
