| PROMPT January 15th Write your entry today about commitment. Committing to an activity, craft, person, way of being, etc. Consider the concepts of diligence, honesty, and responsibility. What does commitment look like to you? This day is running away from me! I literally feel like I'm chasing daylight! Not sure what happened. I was up and having coffee about a half hour later than usual. But that one half hour shouldn't have that much of an impact on the day. I even skipped my noon nap just so I could try to catch up. Yes, I am the queen of cat naps. I just set my internal clock for 10 minutes or 15 minutes and it's done. My husband has always marveled at that. After 36 years he still thinks I play some kind of trick. Anyway back to the day. Even though I've been running behind all day, and even though I've got a migraine pounding a nail into my right eye I feel I need to pat myself on the back. I did actually stretch the little gray cells of my brain thinking about commitment. I went to physical therapy and for the entire hour that word "commitment" was top of mind. I even felt embarrassed because the therapist mentioned that I "seemed far away today". Well, I guess I was. Like every other day I made a list of all the stuff that's important for me to tackle today. And I say "tackle" because of previously mentioned nail in my eye. I finally gave in and took some big drugs but now all I want to do is lay down with a soft pillow, a cool cloth on my head and a warm blanket all snuggled up in a dark, dark, dark room. BUT I won't let that happen. At least not yet. Why, you ask? It's because I'm COMMITTED. I'm committed to writing a blog post every single day for this challenge (which I truly enjoy). I'm committed to organizing and preparing for the class I must teach later today. I'm committed to taking the dog out for a long walk before the sky opens up and rains. I'm committed to working through my physical therapy so my back feels better. I'm committed to cooking and preparing a healthy lunch and dinner in the hope I lose some weight. I'm committed to answering questions, answering email, and taking phone calls from clients and colleagues. Mostly, I'm committed to getting through this day! My goal is to cross everything off my list, finish this day, and crawl in bed with a good book. And if the nail is still in my eye then there won't be any book; just a dark room with lots of quiet. This whole rant really isn't what I envisioned for this blog post. But I think it gets the point across.  |
