Today I feel

Hopeful about all the possibilities I could complete today.

I will only focus on one thing then when that is complete.

I will move on to the next thing because when I list it all.

My head begins to spin, and all that can be done is untouched like an unwanted snack.

I don’t want to waste time, but I’ve learned if I don’t listen to my body.

Then my well-being is at risk, which I don’t want to put on the back burner to please someone else.

So whatever I get done today will have been all that needed to get done.

And if I wake up tomorrow, the rest can be divided up again until the list is no more.

Nothing is worth stressing over anymore, as when the weight is off my shoulder, the feeling of being free is what I long for.

So today, I am free to be and do what I want.

  1. Rosemary B. Althoff – Rosemary Althoff writes, I come from an English lit-loving, Shakespeare-quoting mom and a space-race dad who led the electrical development of the Saturn V moon rocket. My sister has been a satellite researcher and a consultant for the James D Webb space telescope, telling it what and where to pay attention. With all that family connection, I thought that I'd enter the space profession, too. But I deviated from the aerospace engineering path to become a hybrid and write science fiction. I was very fortunate to take creative writing at the University of Kentucky under author and poet Wendell Berry, who cut down my proud verbosity and taught me to write from my heart. I also became … a Christian. Now I’ve published the award-winning Christian YA sci-fi novel, THE HOT MARBLE, Book 1 in the Soul’s Warfare series. Book 2, THE CAVE CHAMBER, is also published: Book 3 THE HORNED EDGE is near completion. While still a manuscript, THE HORNED EDGE won 1st place in the Living Water Awards for YA fiction. In addition to science fiction, I write other thoughtful, encouraging, and spiritual books and articles. My goal for readers is share pleasure, love for nature, and healing of any deep hurts from life’s adventures.

    A good friend advised me to pay attention to my body, and when I notice something: thirst, hunger, an ache, any kind of physical need, I’m supposed to take a positive action. She says that taking care of myself glorifies the Lord.

      That sounds like so good advice, and yes, the lord gave me this body, and I try to do my best to take care of it too. Thanks for stopping by and sharing a great reminder!

      Yeah, please do it! I’m still learning but glad to help others, not try to do it all.
