Every weekday morning my alarm is set for 4:30. Recently, I turned off the alarm when it chirped its irritating wake-up call but, instead of rising immediately, I fell back asleep. And woke up 45-minutes later. That really put a crimp in my morning, which included making dinner for that evening as I would be home late from Yoga. My only other choice was to quickly revise my plan (that’s really why I write everything in my Franklin with pencil, not pen). I looked at the day and everything I hoped to accomplish, prioritized (Yes, I have to go to work. Yoga is not negotiable. Leftovers look good for dinner tonight. Who says two rooms need to be dusted?). Once I readjusted my plans, I regrouped, was able to get moving and do what needed to be “did.” The day was salvaged (with little wiggle-room for anything more to be added) with just enough time to make my Keurig iced coffee.
How do you salvage a derailed day?

When my plans are derailed….hmmm, this happens almost everyday. Today for instance Tobey was scheduled for Sports Camp, I was going to go to 930 yoga after an 830 appointment to figure out what’s wrong with my car. Alas, our wrestling match yesterday has put my back out and he is having some tummy issues that are keeping us close to the toilet today. So, everything will have to just adjust. I have a note to myself on my rear view mirror that says, “Just Do Today.” It’s all I can do, so I just roll with what the day gives me and today it’s a sore back and a kid with diarrhea.

~ you are the delightful friend who I learned the “just do today” mantra from (mentioned in another one of my blogs either past or upcoming) … it truly is the only thing we *can* do and it sure frees us from burdening ourselves with more than we need to. And allows us to be OK when our bodies (or our babies) rebel a bit.
