My goodness it has REALLY been a full day. After going back to the doctor this morning for some meds for myself (I swear the doctor has seen me and my daughter more times in the past few weeks than I have seen one in my lifetime), trying to settle miss Indie - who is very much awake while I'm typing and decided to completely skip her nap today - and catching up with the 101 tasks that I have started but not yet finished, I have just had such a blow to my sensibilities that I had to sit down and regroup.
Now I know that all sounds very cryptic. But I don't like calling people out in public. Instead, I like to look at a situation and find the lessons and morals behind it. So the big lesson I have learnt today is that you should always set aside time to spring clean your priorities.
Why? Because the things you say yes too with a bucket full of enthusiasm may not be the things you should be involved in. So know when it's time to bow out and do so gracefully. The moment you do that, you will feel more energised, organised and confident that the things left in your care will be handled well. So in the words of a British honey advert airing: I am a Master of one thing, not a Jack of all trades...
Have a wonderful week peeps! I'm going to complete my spring clean cos summer is round the corner.
(p.s. The Trini in me could add a three letter word to the end of "Jack" to really bring home the message lol)
Hi Mel
ReplyDeleteI hope yourself and daughter are in better health. I also hope your sales at the trading stalls are doing well. I wanted to say how lovely it was to meet you at the WNF and also to say what a lovely spirit you have, such a rarity these days. In addition, I wanted to ask if you would like to do stall with me on 2nd of July in Beckenham. It is free and I have already booked 2 tables. ( At the summer fayre in the Bethlem hospital). This will be my first time, so I cannot tell you how it has been in the past but it will be nice to try and we will be only ones doing art there, the organiser said it will be good to have such a stall. Happy to meet up talk more about it if you like.
Hugs
Chelsea
