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. 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.

    1. 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!
