Usually...I'm 'johnny on the spot'! (or maybe in my case, 'joannie'?)But, lately I've become a...(I don't want to use this word, but feel I must)...procrastinator! Ok, there it is. I said it! I don't even like the way the word sounds, and I especially don't like that I've become one! Be it 'age' or 'fibro' or whatever excuse I can come up with, I find myself more and more, putting off until tomorrow, what I COULD DO TODAY! I can give examples, too...
Cleaning- "it doesn't smell"!
Dusting- "well, you can't write your name in it yet"!
Laundry- "you don't have ANY clean underwear"?
Cooking- "wonder if they'd mind another sandwich tonight"?
Buying Groceries- "let's see...we have bread, milk and butter. What can I make out of this for
dinner"??
Watering my flowers- "I'll water after dinner". Then after dinner..."It's sooo hot and sticky out, I
believe I'll wait til morning"!
Crafting projects- "ya know the last time I cleaned, I put that away somewhere. Now, I have no
idea where it is"!
Sending cards- "But my card doesn't say 'belated'"!(birthday)..."I'm sure they're feeling much
better by now"!(get well)
Canning veggies-(from the garden) "How many cans did you say we had left from last year? I
doubt we'll eat that many over the winter"!!
Ok, maybe I'm not this bad yet...but I can see a significant change. One that has me asking somedays..."what have I become"? Certainly, I have some work to do on my behavior. Is today the 31st???............I must call my mom to wish her a Happy Birthday! Or dang it, I may just go all out and sing it to her. But, I AM GOING RIGHT NOW to do it, before it suddenly becomes a 'belated' one! Til next time, blessings...
