I found myself procrastinating on something that I didn't want to do. I knew it would be a bit unpleasant but do-able and I simply did not want to. So I lolled around in bed, not getting to it, thinking about it, making it worse in mind than it was in real life. I wasted a good 20-25 minutes. Finally, I pulled myself together, raised up enough gumption and just did it. And you know what? It wasn't that bad. It wasn't all fun, rainbows and unicorns. But it wasn't un-doable. And it was done.
The part of today's reading -- other than the wonderful Emerson quote -- that really resonates is this:
Hasn't God already given me far more than I could ever imagine for myself? Just for today, I will live a little. What can be done "someday," I can do today - just for the fun of it!It's true. I never imagined myself doing many of the things I have been blessed to experience. Travelling abroad. A graduate degree, despite the odds. A professional career. My relationship with my sister's children. My own home.
Today's prescription is to do something today that I usually put off to 'someday" -- just for fun. Ok. Challenge accepted. :-)
