Making it a great day!

There are so many projects I want to complete on the weekends and either time, money, or energy run out first or maybe all three. What a beautiful Sunday morning with all the snow that just kept coming and coming! I even have to make a path for my dogs so they can go out and take care of business. After making the rounds and cleaning and stripping and washing beds and making my usual check in phone calls - my sails were empty. I instead looked at all the things I need to get done and that just didn't help the whole outlook. Monday though is a start of a whole new week and each day and night are filled so my lists and piles just keep getting higher. I now see as I get older how some of those snow birds head south for a reprieve. I am one of those that has to clean for the cleaning lady though and house has to be in order. I have been doing massive getting rid of things and I figure with our new garbage cans, if I don't add anything else to it, it will probably take me a year to get rid of all the stuff I have already put in a pile to get rid of. The recent news of all the tragedies around the world overshadow the good news that is out there. The new vaccines/ blood tests etc to detect and prevent cancer. It is learning how to best catergorize all this info coming in how best to deal with effectively. A newly diagnosed patient has all these issues and more on their plate and learning how to put them in piles they cal handle and dealing with getting rid the massive amount of information that is not important or even correct. Monday may be rough as the first day of a new week but each of us are fighting our own battles and if you can help someone with either your time, money, or energy you are in fact helping yourself. Let's continue to reach out to make each day better and for those around us that are having a real rough start... today.
Making it a great day! S
