I am sitting here, wrapped in my cashmere sweater for its warmth and softness.  I’ve made a pot of coffee for energy.  I’m pushing myself forward with my new mantra:  ONE THING MORE.  Just do one thing more.  If I was to leave myself to my natural state, I would probably be a couch potato for the whole wide winter.  I would have enough sprouts from my ‘eyes’ to be planted by spring.

So I fight my natural state.  If I give in to my fatigue, I would get super depressed and I would not get over my cold, flu, my sinus thing, whatever it is that I get.  I push myself ever so gently, but firmly and lovingly forward.  Do one thing.  Then do one more.  When it is just one thing, it is not so overwhelming.  My one thing this morning was getting rid of Sheba’s hair.  It was everywhere.  Nothing makes me feel worse than seeing all that.

The one thing for this afternoon was going for our walk.  It felt like a long difficult process just getting out the door.  But we did it, one block at a time until all the blocks were done.  Going was easier.  Coming back was challenging.  My energy was depleted and I had trouble putting one foot in front of the other.

But here I am!  I am having trouble with putting one word after another.  But somehow it happens.  A person just have to have the intention and try.  It doesn’t have to be perfect.  Just do it.

Now, I am going on to the next one thing more.
