I am not intending to be the voice of negativity this summer with all my posts about what I have not been accomplishing, but I recently saw this quote by Aesop and thought it very fitting--for my summer, at least.
"After all is said and done, more is said than done."
Very true, very true! I spend lots of time talking about what I need or want to do but just never seem to get very much accomplished. Granted, my summer is hectic with softball, baseball, tennis, etc., but so is everyone's. I've posted before about committing 15 minutes a day. Some days I've done well; others, not so much. So when I saw the above quote, it really put things in perspective for me. I'm going to TRY to stop saying what I need/want to do and JUST DO IT! Just as soon as we finish with a softball game, a dental appointment and packing for an upcoming vacation...See what I mean--I am the queen of procrastination:-)
If you have any wise words about this delicate balance, I'd love to hear how you make it work for you.
Karin, if it's any consolation, you have plenty of company! Sometimes we just have to take a deep breath and ask ourselves what is truly important this moment. And sometimes the answer is the dental appointment. Of course, while you wait, you can be scribbling ideas. :) I'm right there with you, Karin!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jane! You are very right. In my head, I know what is most important. Sometimes, I just let the frustration get to me. Most of what I do accomplish anymore does happen in the car!
