UBC Day 19 & 20 – Focus – Note to Self

The words for today’s post are focus and note to self. They are prompts from the Daisy Yellow Index Card a Day Challenge. They are very appropriate words for me to work on. My mind and brain are totally out of focus. I have no sense of direction, planning. I live by the seat of my pants. I get lost every day. I still get by very well because I am a highly functional disfunctional person.

I’m living up to my own self analysis. It is July 21 and I am still working on finishing this post from yesterday. It is not that I am a lazy person, though I have lazy moments. When I don’t have a plan or outline for a post, things don’t always flow and I stutter and hiccough. Rather than sitting stuck, I get up and tend to other things. The other thing that came along was 4 pails of peas crying to be shelled. That took up a whole afternoon. By the end, my fingers were stiff and sore. AND it was time to make supper. I think these are good reasons to get sidetracked.

After supper I am too tired to take up the keyboard. Sometimes I have to choose my battles and decide what is more important. I chose some relaxation but made a note to myself to finish this post today, blanch and freeze the shelled peas and go to my exercise class. I am happy to say now that I have succeeded in all three. I am a happy camper.

NOTE TO SELF

I’m tap, tapping from prompts offered by Kat McNally’s #AprilMoon and Susannah Conway’s aprillove2015.  I’m careful of my words.  They can send powerful messages to the mind.  We know what tricks the mind can play on us.  So pay heed what you say and think.  I’m often guilty of not paying attention and let every wisp of smoke get in. That smoke smoulders and flares into flames.  Before you know it, there is a raging fire.

Let me take care and form my thoughts carefully.

Good morning, self.  It’s a beautiful morning.  See how the light dances on the wall.  Feel it kissing your sweet face.  It is blessing you with its healing warmth.  Bask and luxuriate in its arms.  The morning will pass fast enough.  In the meantime, enjoy the peace and quietness.

You are the child of the Universe.   You are loved and cherished.  Be happy for you are as you should be.  Feel blessed by the love and goodness in your life.  Be grateful for your riches.  Be strong in your faith.  Be forgiving in your heart.  Be generous of the spirit.  Above all else, love yourself – no matter what.

Now I lay myself down to sleep.  Goodnight self.  Close your eyes.  Empty your thoughts and smooth your brow of care.  You have worked hard and done your best today.  Now it is time to rest.  Let the sandman sprinkle magical dust onto your eyes.  Sweet dreams, my dear.
