Sometimes I Just...Stare At It.

There are 17 tabs open on my laptop and in my brain, every single one of them feels urgent.

In addition to …

The laundry.

The groceries.

The thing I said I’d do three days ago.

The project in a pile that I was excited about for one day. (Like the chunky blanket my daughter-in-law and I wanted to make last year, but it got too big and overwhelming and once I realized I skipped steps it went to the dogs)  

And if your menopausal like me you’re doing all this on 43% battery.

So instead of tackling the list, sometimes I just… stare at it.

I can’t tell you how many times I went down into my basement to organize the remaining boxes of OmTurtle and just stared.

Being overwhelmed has a funny way of making even the most productive women feel completely paralyzed.

BUT I’m learning that on those days, I don’t need to conquer the whole list.

I just need to do ONE thing.

ONE email.

ONE box.

ONE load of laundry.

ONE page.

ONE walk around the block.

Then maybe ONE more.

Then sometimes I get momentum and build something bigger than I can handle.  

And sometimes not.

Tomorrow is another day.

One accomplishment a day still moves a life forward.

Keep going, sister.

Love you!!
