A friend of mine and I were joking today that May is “Mayhem” as it seems everything is crazy for everybody right now. I just was emailing with a new client trying to find a time that works for us both to get together and as the universe didn’t meet our wishes right now we will have to postpone our time. But that is ok. As are other things we might need to put on hold for a minute. Or the things we have to say no to for now. The difference of even one less commitment can mean the difference between a good day or a bad day.
Squish that toothpaste tube down to the very last squeeze and delay your Target trip. Serve the canned food in your pantry for dinner. Tonight I mixed black beans and corn fro the cupboard with fresh cut tomatoes and a bit of dressing. Threw some some fruit and a french roll on the plates with it. This took me all of five minutes and although it wasn’t everyone’s favorite meal I had time to read a book to my two youngest, pick my oldest up at gymnastics and kiss everyone goodnight. And WOW, I am actually sitting down to write this with all children in their bedrooms. (Not all asleep, but a step closer. ). I could’ve made the chicken recipe, but hey beans are good protein too and I freed up a lot of time to spend with my girlies-which I enjoy much more than cooking.
I invite you to look at your next two weeks. Is there one thing you can take out without feeling guilty? One thing you can postpone until June to help your May? One errand you can take off your list that really isn’t so urgent? One shortcut you can take on something you don’t enjoy to add more time to something you do?
Try it if you can. Target will be there for you when you are ready.
Blessings,
Kristy
