Priorities and Focus

In our BUSY WHIRL of daily activities

there is never enough time to do it all. 

So, it's important to CHOOSE wisely and

hopefully according to our PRIORITIES.

Although sometime SURVIVAL seems

to push its way into seeming to be

a priority while more important matters

take a back seat, like flossing our teeth.

I only mention that because it's one of my sins

of OMISSION. I do brush, but floss seldom.

One day too soon, I will/am reaping

the results of not focusing on myself.

I ALWAYS get the laundry done and meals

on the table, grocery shopping accomplished, 

the house vacuumed, but not dusted. Things

in general order though not my computer desk!

It reminds me of my mind, cluttered with

too much JUNK to even focus on what are my

priorities. Certainly relationships are more

important than housekeeping, aren't they?

BALANCE is called for to quiet my busy mind.

Establish some routines to give order to my life.

First personal hygiene, exercise, diet + spiritual 

nourishment for my day-prayer and scripture study!

Then time to look towards my chosen COMPANION

with love and tenderness, consideration for his needs.

Reaching out to others is important, especially my

extended family-children and grand children...
