Motivation

"If you run, you are a runner. It doesn't matter how fast or how far. It doesn't matter if today is your first day or if you've been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get. You just run."

-John Bingham

Almost there....

If I had all the time in the world

I've been feeling a little bit scattered. Maybe it's because I just started a new job, maybe it's because I'm not taking enough iron, or maybe it's because Andrew & I have over-committed ourselves. Whatever the case, I finally decided today that we need to intentionally decide to relax this weekend, so I started my list of "If I had all the time in the world, what would I want to do LIST"?

So here goes:
  • Knitting (sorry I didn't finish your scarf during the winter, Andrew)
  • Reading (Currently working my way through Michael Scully's Dominion)
  • Cooking something new (dying to make Banana Ice Cream, seriously, how hard could it possibly be? it's just one ingredient)
  • Plant some more succulents (an article from Real Simple inspired me to try planting a succulent in a shell)
Part of me feels good getting it down on paper, and finally focusing not on what I have to do, but what I'd like to do.

And if I'm lucky, working on one of these items will help to bring what's really important back into focus.
