To simplify or not to simplify that is the question

Simplify WHAT???

I know for a fact that we still have 7 days in a week that STILL consist of 24 hours each with 60 minutes in each hour etc... Can anyone confirm this for me?

My dear friend Jan gave me a sign that says "Once upon a time there was time..."\

OK so where does time go?? Where does time hide?? How come it seems different now than years ago?
I refuse to believe that it is because I am old that time seems to pass so fast..even my children feel it buzzing by in fact they started school just yesterday and progress reports are due to come out tomorrow!!!

Is there a time thief??
What does he look like? Where does he hide? How does he operate?

What do terms like "sieze the day", redeem the hour make the day count...really mean? How do we pull this off?

Who is going to capture our time and bring it back to us?

Well, I feel confident to say that we are the only ones who can and are responsible for getting a hold of time.

I think that it has to do with being intentional. Thinking it through.... making a plan.
What are the "have tos" that will need to be done tomorrow. Write them down...Then how about listing the "would be wonderful ifs" down and then write a few whimsical "it would be a miracle if" at the end of the list.

Determine not to be side tracked. Tell yourself that you are not going to have lunch until a certain thing is accomplished. Have that second cup of coffee when the last of the laundry in put away. Determine to have the kitchen sink empty before dinner and then after as well.

You will be so proud of yourself! I will be proud of you!
Great job....When the day is done congratulate yourself and start the list for tomorrow. You will be amazed at what you can accomplish!
Remember,as well, that it is not ALL about "Doing" Call a faraway friend. Send out a card to someone. Leave a note on your husband's pillow and/or put a note in your children's lunch boxes.

Sit down to dinner as a family with the table set. It will make everyone feel special!!

Come on now ....send me some success stories!
Blessings

ps How about a good meatloaf tonite? Put a few baking potatoes in the oven with it and add a veg and you will be good to go!....You might even add some of that homemade applesauce on the side!
